Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...
Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...
In a "20/20" special report, David Muir weaves together two decades-long probes. In 1988, 19-year-old Cathy Swartz was a young mother living with her fiancé Mike Warner and her 9-month-old baby ...
Modern genetic research reveals that large parts of the human genome come from ancient retroviruses, permanently woven into our DNA over millions of years. Russia reacts to Trump's Venezuela drug boat ...
In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
