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 ...

NEW YORK — 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 ...

"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 ...

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.

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 ...
