Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Infants with invasive group B Streptococcus disease had a 41% higher risk for psychiatric disorders than control individuals (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.41; 95% CI, 1.23-1.62), with the risk ...

A new study suggests that severe trauma, like that experienced in war, can leave epigenetic “scars” on DNA that endures for generations. In the early 1980s, the Syrian regime carried out a ...

Scientists say they have recovered the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA from human remains found in Europe, and the information is helping to reveal our species’ shared history with Neanderthals.

Scientists from Durham University, Jagiellonian University (Poland), and the John Innes Centre have made a significant advancement in understanding DNA gyrase, an essential bacterial enzyme and a ...

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-em), researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University, and the John Innes Centre uncovered unprecedented detail of gyrase’s action ...

While genetic testing is not outright illegal in Israel, there are significant legal restrictions that limit access to DNA tests. In August 2024, a rumor spread on social media that doing a DNA ...

Is your new shelter pup part beagle or boxer? Many pet owners seek answers to these questions, and as a result, direct-to-consumer dog DNA testing is booming. But how reliable are dog DNA tests ...

In this study published in the journal Science, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Université de Strasbourg, Université Paris Cité, and collaborating institutions reveal how DNA gyrase ...

Researchers reveal how DNA gyrase resolves DNA entanglements. The findings not only provide novel insights into this fundamental biological mechanism but also have potential practical applications.
