Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have shown for the first time that animal DNA shed within the environment can be collected from the…
Over 50 millennia, at least five major immigration waves have successively populated the Philippines, the most comprehensive survey of genetic variations in the country to…
An innovative study has confirmed that quantum mechanics plays a role in biological processes and causes mutations in DNA. Quantum biology is an emerging field…

In a new study, a team of researchers from MIT has published the most comprehensive map yet of noncoding DNA, which makes up more than…
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is mutating. The SARS-CoV-2 virus mutates fast. That’s a concern because these more transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2 are now present in the…
Researchers have reconstructed the ancestral sequence of the great ape Y chromosome by comparing three existing (gorilla, human, and chimpanzee) and two newly generated (orangutan…
MIT biologists have found a possible explanation for the Warburg effect, first seen in cancer cells in the 1920s and named after Otto Warburg, pictured.…
Phylogenetic trees, starting with an individual cancer cell. Each color represents a different location in the body. A very colorful tree shows a highly metastatic…

Researchers have found a simple way to eliminate almost all sequencing errors produced by a widely used portable DNA sequencer, potentially enabling scientists working outside the…
Biochemists use protein engineering to transfer photocaging groups to DNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the basis of life on earth. The function of DNA is…
Method will help researchers better understand mitochondrial DNA diseases. Scientists from the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer have developed a simple, high-throughput method for transferring isolated…
Newly described chemical reaction could have assembled DNA building blocks before life forms and their enzymes existed. Discovery boosts theory that life on our planet…
The complex dance of electrical signals inside a cell holds the key to many questions about diseases and disorders, but has been difficult to understand—so…
