Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

On Friday, February 7, a hearing took place in the Montana state legislature on a bill that would ban the use of mRNA vaccines in humans. The bill was sponsored by State Representative Greg Kmetz with ...

In short, DNA fingerprinting involves the generation of a set of distinct DNA fragments from a single DNA sample; these fragments are then used as a source of genotypic information. A wide range ...

Ancient DNA studies provide critical insights into human evolution and extinct species, leveraging advanced techniques to ...

It's been decades since thousands of human bones and bone fragments were unearthed on a suspected Indiana serial killer’s property ...

Purification removes contaminants from DNA samples, ensuring the integrity of the genetic material and providing more ...

Three students from Centreville High School in Clifton discovered a potentially harmful substance – DNA residues, or tiny fragments of genetic material – in Pfizer’s messenger RNA COVID-19 ...

The genetic sequence around that location could then be changed by adding a new DNA fragment, for example. Once a cut is made, it is a multistep, imperfect process of cellular DNA repair.

That discovery led to the invention of the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR (as in the PCR tests we took during the pandemic), which enables scientists to select specific DNA fragments and then ...

The resulting DNA fragments are then separated by size using gel electrophoresis, and the sequence is determined by analyzing the pattern of bands on the gel. Next-generation sequencing technologies, ...

Brigham Young University researchers are leading a significant validation study of a blood test designed to detect ...
