A team of experts has proposed storing the DNA of threatened animals in a vault on the lunar surface – Earth's only natural satellite – where conditions are cold enough to preserve the samples.

DNA is well-known for its double helix shape. But the human genome also contains more than 50,000 unusual knot-like DNA structures called i-motifs, researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical ...

Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer. Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new ...

There are numerous ways to heighten durability to millions of millennia, at the DNA nucleotides and ribose it is possible to swap one, some, or all of the C element atoms at the DNA with silicon ...

Recently, DNA analysis of two skeletons from unmarked graves in a Jamestown church revealed that both people were related to West. The DNA also showed that the men were linked by shared maternal ...

Studying how single DNA molecules behave helps us to better understand genetic disorders and design better drugs. Until now however, examining DNA molecules one-by-one was a slow process.

The best way to go about this is with DNA testing kits. These help you learn more about your genetic makeup. The best genetic kits are from Ancestry and 23andMe. The latter was the first to offer ...

A new technology using DNA for data storage and computing has been unveiled by researchers from NC State and Johns Hopkins. This innovative approach includes creating dendricolloids to enhance data ...

As direct descendants of ancient bacteria, mitochondria have always been a little alien. Now a study shows that mitochondria are possibly even stranger than we thought. The study, titled "Somatic ...

They contain coded information found in nearly every cell of the human body. Our genes are made up of DNA, a molecule with this coded information. Hundreds to thousands of genes are found on each ...
