One hundred years after the heroic journey to Nome, scientists reveal how Balto's DNA explains his incredible endurance and ...

The genetic link between bones discovered thousands of miles away from each other suggests a prehistoric migration route.

An international team of researchers has used genetic engineering to create the first ever “product-ready” antivenom for ...

Genetic tweaks allowed early humans to stand, balance and walk on two legs instead of moving on all fours like other primates, according to researchers.

Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once believed to be “junk DNA.” But that view is changing, and a ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...
