For nearly 40 years, the identity of the person who sexually assaulted and killed a 30-year-old woman found along a quiet stretch of rural highway south of Denver eluded investigators. Now, small ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

A new study demonstrates that replicative senescence depends upon ATM kinase, and that high oxygen generates a hyperactive ...

Domestic cats first joined European communities around 2,000 years ago, during the age of Roman power, not in deep prehistory ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go ...

The scientists swabbed over 1,000 healthy donors to study the interactions between the bacterial populations present in the nasal passages.

Growing up in Swain County, Nathan Dee Greene ate a lot of apples. The family had several trees of their own, but every fall, they bought bushels from the nearby orchard on Laurel Branch, across the ...

Dorothy “Dorrie” Braver Ornstil, passed away peacefully on June 29, 2025, in her beloved Berkshires at the age of 94. She was ...

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

New research confirms humans first reached the Sahul super-continent by two different routes around 60,000 years ago.
