The world’s polar bear population is projected to decline by two-thirds by 2050. A new study from the University of East Anglia suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

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 ...

In mid-December, the 20-year-old Minneapolis resident was walking through the city’s Cedar-Riverside neighborhood when federal immigration officers stopped him. He offered to show identification. They ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

Those tiny, fluffy dogs walking down the street may look cute but beware — they probably have some wolf in them. That is the discovery announced on Monday by U.S. scientists, who were surprised to ...

Primerdesign (part of the Novacyt Group), a company focused on the design, manufacture, validation and supply of real-time PCR kits and reagents, today announced the launch of its exsig ® Mag ...

Debbie Dorian's murder was unsolved until DNA evidence revealed a suspect. A California murder went unsolved for nearly 30 years, until one DNA match cracked the decades-old case. The murder of ...

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug molecules. This breakthrough simplifies chiral drug production, reducing waste ...

Quantabio has launched the sparQ™ Lysis Kit, designed to isolate high-quality, double-stranded genomic DNA from dried blood spot (DBS) samples. The kit enables DNA recovery from limited sample inputs ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...

Each Lifeweave tapestry features woven color squares that correspond to specific characters in the computer code used to generate a dataset from an individual’s DNA. Next time you nestle under a throw ...
