DNA holds the code for building life, but not all of it is useful. Some parts behave more like parasites, sticking around ...

DNA is the genetic code that provides the biological instructions for every living species, but not every bit of DNA helps the species survive. Some pieces of DNA are more like parasites ...

Buried in the DNA of the long extinct woolly mammoth is a compound that scientists hope will one day yield a lifesaving antibiotic. In experiments, mammuthusin, as the compound is called, has ...

They have also mined the genetic codes from fossils of long-extinct animals and humans, including Neanderthals and Denisovans. “This deep-learning model has opened a window into the past," de la ...

Genome-wide comparisons made possible by gains in computing power involve sweeps of tens of thousands of individual genetic codes from patients and otherwise healthy counterparts. But so far only a ...

Neil and Sophie talk about gene editing, designer babies and how many errors Neil might have in his genetic code. How generous are you? Neil and Sophie discuss Mark Zuckerberg and what it takes to ...

Phylogenetic tree reconstruction of sampled specimens indicated that Dugesia japonica forms a sister clade to the studied population, albeit with distant genetic relatedness, suggesting the latter may ...
