One hundred years after the heroic journey to Nome, scientists reveal how Balto's DNA explains his incredible endurance and ...

European cuckoos lay very different eggs depending on the host species. Genetic analyses have revealed how this adaptation is inherited without leading to speciation.

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

The first of the genes highlighted by the researchers is Cell Adhesion Molecule 2 ( CADM2 ), which helps handle cell assembly ...

For two decades, scientists have been comparing every person’s full set of DNA they study to a template that relies mostly on genetic material from one man affectionately known as “the guy from ...

While in the big scheme of things DNA is still something we only recently found out about, a huge amount of research has gone into this subject, so it can be confidently said that experts really have ...

Because the new method can replace a large stretch of defective DNA with a healthy sequence, the same retron-based package can fix any combination of mutations within that stretch of DNA without ...

The 20 th century was dubbed ‘the century of the gene’. You could say it started with the coining of the word ‘gene’ in 1903. Fifty years later, James Watson and Francis Crick used Rosalind Franklin’s ...
