Most prehistoric Europeans had dark skin, hair and eyes well into the Iron Age, about 3,000 years ago, new research finds.

The technology is called DNA phenotyping, and so far it can produce only a rough approximation based on genetic factors such as geographic ancestry, eye color, and the shapes of facial features.

Encoded within this DNA are the directions for traits as diverse as the color of a person's eyes, the scent of a rose, and the way in which bacteria infect a lung cell. DNA is found in nearly all ...

Ever wondered what the most common eye colors are? Well, they might not be exactly what you expected them to be.

This article explores 6-base genome sequencing and how it is empowering researchers to expand their studies to include both ...
