Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

While tools like CRISPR have blown the field of genome hacking wide open, being able to predict what will happen when you tinker with the code underlying the living things on our planet is still tr… ...

A mobile DNA sequence could explain tail loss in humans and apes In their study, Yoo et al. characterize the complete centromere composition of most chromosomes across apes.

The new AlphaGenome model can take an extremely long DNA sequence as input — up to 1 million letters, also known as base pairs — and predict thousands of molecular properties.

"Neanderthal DNA is 99.7% identical to our own, and researchers claim that some humans might be carrying as much as 2% of the Neanderthal genome. Making things even weirder is that scientists ...

DNA is made up of four chemical "letters"—the nucleotide bases A, G, T and C. Mutations in this sequence cause thousands of human diseases, yet until recently, gene editing could only fix a ...

Rather than bacteria, the Earth BioGenome Project, or EBP, is aiming to sequence the genomes of individual eukaryotic creatures—basically, those that keep most of their DNA in a nut-like structure, or ...

To date, people have encoded information into DNA the same way nature has, by linking the four nucleotide bases comprising DNA—A, T, C, and G—into a particular genetic sequence.

Science Archaeology First complete ancient Egyptian DNA genome reveals his occupation The analysis shows an 80 percent genetic link to North Africa. Andrew Paul Jul 2, 2025 11:09 AM EDT ...
