Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

MIT researchers have found that tiny DNA loops persist even as cells divide, challenging the idea that the genome resets during mitosis. These structures may explain how cells retain genetic ...

The rising threat of diseases spreading through bacteria, viruses, or insects, along with abiotic stresses like drought, salinity, heat, and nutrient imbalance, is still a major limiting factor for ...

DNA is the blueprint for life, influencing everything about us—including our health. We know that our genes, the genetic “words” that encode proteins, play a major role in health and disease. But the ...

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely a mystery. By Carl Zimmer In 2024, two scientists from Google DeepMind ...

A scrap of tissue, preserved for thousands of years inside an ancient wolf, has given scientists a rare look at a woolly rhinoceros that lived right near the species’ end. What they found is not the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A team of researchers dug into a permafrost-encased Siberian wolf’s stomach to get DNA details of a now-extinct woolly rhinoceros. For the first time ...
