Scientists have managed to cause a species of flatworm to grow heads and characteristics of another species.
One of the toughest creatures on Earth is the water bear, known formally as the tardigrade. Now,researchers have sequenced its genome have found that it gets a huge chunk of its genome from foreign DNA.
In a recent study, researchers assessed the DNA from two Denisovan molars, which were found in a Siberian cave.
New ancient DNA detective work may have revealed the origins of the Irish potato famine pathogen. Researchers have discovered that the fungus-like organism originated in South America.
In a study, researchers have used the DNA from a mummified Inca boy, sacrificed 500 years ago, to show how humans spread to South America.
Researchers may have uncovered a previously unknown "fourth strand" of ancient European ancestry. The newly discovered ancestry may tell researchers a bit more about ancient populations of humans.
DNA shed in the bloodstream can track cancers while they evolve and respond to treatment, according to a new study.
The world's oldest DNA sequences may reveal the most ancient animal ancestors.
New findings published in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology look at how a DNA test for Down's Syndrome could reduce the need for potentially invasive tests that look for the developmental disorder marked by a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21.
A new study suggests that dogs were first domesticated in Central Asia. The findings are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Scientists may have found the genes linked to a long life and aging. The researchers have discovered 238 genes that, when removed, increase the replicative lifespan of S. cerevisiae yeast cells.
Scientists have created some new images of the three-dimensional structure of supercoiled DNA.
