Using technologies like CRISPR-Cas9, which allows scientists to cut and paste sections of DNA, humans might even be able to take on new genetic traits from elsewhere in the animal kingdom.

One reason may be that they have twenty copies of a gene called TP53, which produces proteins that scan and repair DNA; humans have one. “Extremophiles” such as tardigrades, microscopic ...

Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each consist of a nucleobase, the carbohydrate deoxyribose and a phosphate group, where the carbohydrate and ...

The UK has been declared an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) - and bird "gatherings" have been banned in England and Wales in response to rising cases of bird flu. Strains of the virus have ...
