The work demonstrates the power of ancient DNA to illuminate human biology and medicine in addition to history. A massive study of ancient DNA from nearly 16,000 people across more than 10,000 years in West Eurasia reveals that natural selection has shaped modern human genomes far more than previously thought.
New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our understanding of how bacteria manage DNA. The methods have enabled researchers to uncover how the sequence,
Scientists now recognize that spontaneous DNA errors, which we acquire in early development all the way until our last breath, can drive several ailments such as heart disease, autoimmunity, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. These errors could even be the missing piece in explaining the universal phenomenon of aging.
A remarkable genetic breakthrough has uncovered what may be one of the clearest snapshots yet of a Neanderthal “community” living together 100,000 years ago in what is now Poland. The findings reveal that these individuals shared genetic ties with Neanderthals spread across Europe and the Caucasus,
Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular motors organize the three-dimensional structure of the genome. Using theoretical polymer physics and computer simulations,
It’s not the first time McCaffrey’s faced murder charges. He was charged with his missing wife’s murder in 2018 but a jury did not indict him. Instead, he was later convicted on obstruction charges in his wife’s disappearance and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Was human DNA edited by aliens?
Research of the human genome has revealed an odd hidden code in our DNA. Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe this could be evidence of alien manipulation, in this scene from Season 13, "The Artificial Human.
