Each of us has enough DNA to reach from here to the sun and back, more than 300 times. How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Histones are a ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

Our results provide an unprecedented view of these enigmatic molecules in the placenta during gestation, but one that remains naive. Total genomic DNA was extracted from the placenta tissue samples ...

“We’re literally walking on DNA, both from the present and from the past,” Willerslev says. Eske Willerslev leads one of a handful of laboratories pioneering the extraction and sequencing ...

2017), and some ROSI-derived embryos fail to undergo active DNA demethylation, leading to abnormally sized fetuses at embryonic ... Importantly, Tanaka et al. (2015) optimized the ROSI procedure and ...

Nearly six years after DNA analysts claimed to identify the notorious London serial killer known as “Jack the Ripper,” a victim’s family is demanding a police investigation into the claims.

New DNA evidence has revealed the identity of Jack the Ripper as Aaron Kosminski, a Polish barber, more than 130 years after the brutal murders that terrorized Victorian London. Historian and author ...
