Your DNA is constantly changing. And if it weren’t for genetic mutations, evolution wouldn’t exist. So, what would life be ...

Two mysterious human relatives left their genetic footprints in the modern human genome alongside the DNA of Neanderthals and Denisovans, underscoring the fact that our ancestors interbred with many ...

A groundbreaking DNA study has unveiled a hidden chapter in human evolution, revealing that all modern humans evolved from two ancient and distinct groups. This research, published in March 2025, ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

The idea that modern humans inherited DNA from Neanderthal ancestors is one of the 21st century’s most celebrated discoveries in evolution. It may not be that ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

A massively parallel reporter assay of 9,092 cortical-structure-associated variants reveals that Alu retrotransposons, Wnt ...

Researchers mined 1,139 avian genomes for R2 retrotransposons and engineered variants that achieve up to 60 percent ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...
