Scientists build a synthetic cell that grows, divides and replicates DNA using only non-living chemical components.

A new study from Yale School of Medicine, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, challenges that assumption. When ...

Many repetitive regions of the genome have been considered "junk DNA" because the available technologies did not allow them to be studied at sufficient resolution. This is the case for the SST1/NBL2 ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

For years, she was known only as a Jane Doe. Traditional investigations led nowhere, and her identity seemed lost forever. Then the DNA Doe Project took on one of its most challenging cases, using ...

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

Manchester United did not explicitly say it, but Michael Carrick signing a contract to the end of the 2027–28 season means he is the manager the club has entrusted to bring ‘Project 150’ to life. It ...

When we think about genetic inheritance, we usually leap to DNA, the four-letter code containing the instructions for building a living organism. Scientists know that DNA encodes everything from hair ...

Murder investigators in Arizona are encountering a stubborn obstacle to solving a decades-old cold case involving an unidentified dead body: The woman’s Ashkenazi Jewish DNA. In 1989, an unclothed ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way large language models like ChatGPT read text. Scanning the genome for ...

The DNA Doe Project identified the remains found by a family on Salmon Creek Beach in Sonoma County in 2022, the sheriff’s office announced Thursday. According to the DNA Doe Project, on June 17, 2022 ...

Cracking cold cases to catch a killer has become more common, but figuring out an unidentified victim is much more complicated. But thanks to a North Bay genetic sleuth and breakthrough DNA analysis, ...
