Wildlife researchers embraced environmental DNA anyway because they're only looking for very small segments of DNA -- scanning for what they call bar codes that will identify the creatures in a ...

Scientists are scanning human DNA with a precision and scope once unthinkable and rapidly finding genes linked to cancer, arthritis, diabetes and other diseases. It's a payoff from a landmark ...

Scientists have for the first time sequenced the most complete and oldest ancient Egyptian genome ever found—unlocking new ...

"Humans picked up some Neanderthal DNA through interbreeding, while the Neanderthal population, always fairly small, was ...

But while experts now know a fair amount about ancient Egyptian life, they still understand very little about the population’s genetic makeup. Researchers have genomically analyzed three specimens to ...

To facilitate this, the researchers developed a ‘DNA medication pass’ that associates a patient’s genetic profile to drugs whose processing is influenced by DNA. Scanning the pass enables ...

When DNA is cross-linked, the "nucleotides" (the "steps" in the double-helix ladder of DNA) ... they observed how individual D2-I complexes bind to and slide along DNA, scanning the double helix.

A research team led by Eske Willerslev, professor at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Cambridge, has ...
