Scientists have just discovered an entirely new way that DNA can be synthesized. The business of constructing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, to give it its full name) usually requires a template that builder proteins called enzymes can work from.

Five thousand years ago, the thriving farming communities of northwestern Europe fell into a mysterious demographic slump. Megalithic tombs that had held generations of the dead were abandoned, and across the region,

New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our understanding of how bacteria manage DNA. The methods have enabled researchers to uncover how the sequence, physical shape and flexibility of ...

Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of years later. Scientists have now discovered that a molecular system once used to separate DNA has been repurposed into something entirely different: a structure that shapes the cell itself.

It’s not the first time McCaffrey’s faced murder charges. He was charged with his missing wife’s murder in 2018 but a jury did not indict him. Instead, he was later convicted on obstruction charges in his wife’s disappearance and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Research of the human genome has revealed an odd hidden code in our DNA. Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe this could be evidence of alien manipulation, in this scene from Season 13, "The Artificial Human.

A remarkable genetic breakthrough has uncovered what may be one of the clearest snapshots yet of a Neanderthal “community” living together 100,000 years ago in what is now Poland. The findings reveal that these individuals shared genetic ties with Neanderthals spread across Europe and the Caucasus,

With a few chemical tweaks and some dutiful protein partners, a new biotech from Flagship Pioneering thinks it has cracked the code to turn DNA into a brand-new class of therapeutics. | With a few chemical tweaks and some dutiful protein partners,
