The study, published in Current Biology, analyzed ancient DNA from 521 woolly mammoths found across Eurasia and North America. Researchers generated new genetic data for 448 of them, making this one ...

Scientists have discovered that platinum-based chemotherapy drugs commonly used to treat childhood cancers can cause ...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego and collaborators have identified a previously overlooked pattern of DNA mutations in colorectal cancer. Scientists use these patterns, known as ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Genetic information in the DNA and modifications, such as DNA methylation, define the epigenetic landscape and phenotype and show ...

The treatment of leukemia among children could be made more precise with fewer side effects with the help of more accurate methods of diagnosis. A new study led by Umeå University, Sweden, reveals ...

Self-assembling DNA can process information, but the computations have been limited to digital algorithms. A self-assembling DNA system has now been designed to perform complex pattern recognition.

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel's pea plants: traits pass from parent to offspring by fixed genetic rules. But a new mouse study suggests that ...
