Our research suggests environmental DNA analysis could transform traditional ways of monitoring freshwater ecosystems.

With their “T-REX” method, DNA embedded in the polymer could be used for long-term storage of genomes or digital data such as photos and music.

Scientists have discovered genetic clues to the cause of restless leg syndrome, a condition common among older adults. The discovery could help identify those

By capturing short-lived RNA molecules, scientists can map relationships between genes and the regulatory elements that control them.

A new study unveils insights into the origins of the common German cockroach and how they came to scurry across our kitchen floors.

‘Hervs’ date back hundreds of thousands of years – and play an important role in regulating genes.

The origin of life on Earth is one of the biggest mysteries in science.

Calcite, the material making up fossilized eggshells, may preserve amino acids better than bone.

MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.

Genealogical and genetic ancestors aren’t the same thing. A DNA match − or a lack of one − may not tell you what you imagine it does about your family tree.
