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 ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

DNA methylation plays an important role in separating us genetically from our closest relatives.

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

The discovery challenges the long-standing idea that early humans mainly evolved and survived in open grasslands, coasts, or ...

Researchers have identified tiny genetic “switches” that appear to play a surprisingly large role in human language ability.

DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor ...

Pioneering scientist J. Craig Venter has died at 79. His "whole genome shotgun method" helped genome sequencing become faster and cheaper.

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Mice show that DNA methylation tags can defy Mendel’s inheritance rules by appearing in offspring even when neither parent ...
