DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century. With ...

A new theory that explains why the language of our genes is more complex than it needs to be also suggests that the primordial soup where life began on earth was hot and not cold, as many scientists ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in ...

Scientists used decades old air filters to read DNA in dust, revealing a long decline in biodiversity across northern Sweden.

One key component might be RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA found in every form of life on Earth, and now scientists say they ...

IT IS one of the fundamental principles of life. DNA makes RNA, and each three-letter “codon” of RNA is an instruction to include one of 20 different amino acids in a protein chain. Not for much ...

There are a couple of amusingly dismissive references made to “Jurassic Park” during “Hunt for the Oldest DNA,” a presentation of “NOVA” that debunks a few hare-brained theories about cloning ...
