Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology has identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred ...

Every human has unique DNA (except for identical twins who share the same DNA, as they both came from the same initial cell). Forensic scientists use the unique nature of DNA to help catch criminals.

While that might suggest our species is especially rugged or adaptable, we now know that neither the people nor their pets toughed it out alone—both cribbed DNA notes from other species in order to ...

New insights into how maternal and paternal DNA is replicated during the initial stages of pregnancy are contributing pieces to the puzzle. Infertility and involuntary childlessness pose a great ...

They exist as circular pieces of DNA in the nuclei of tumor cells outside chromosomes. Transcription of the amplified ecDNA genes can promote oncogenic processes, such as the increased expression ...
