By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

Chimpanzees, along with bonobos, are humans' closest living relatives. In fact, you may have heard that humans and chimps share 98.8% of their DNA. But is this actually true? And what does "similar ...

Scientists have recovered genetic material from a skull found in northeastern China, which they say reveals the most complete Denisovan fossil to date.

Scientists Found 6,000-Year-Old Human Remains. No Other People Share Their DNA. If they have no ancestors or descendants, then who are they?

How New DNA Science Could Help More Families of the Missing Emerging methods are improving the ability to identify even highly degraded human remains.

Researchers studying the remains of a prehistoric woman who lived around 10,500 years ago in what is now Belgium have produced a reconstruction of her face using ancient DNA.

The researchers think this is because, on average, Mexicans have more Indigenous American DNA in their genomes than the other populations do. When the team ... Depending on exactly what the Denisovan ...

In 1985, geneticists achieved a major archeological breakthrough after they successfully extracted partial DNA from ancient Egyptian skeletal remains. Almost exactly four decades later ...

Scientists have determined that a giant skull from an ancient human relative named the "Dragon Man" is actually Denisovan.

That may be exactly how it works, new research shows, as scientists studying earthworm DNA say that it completely contradicts Darwin's explanation for how evolution works.

Using fast-evolving DNA-based techniques requires awareness, community buy-in, and, most importantly, trust and respect to tackle urgent challenges in the Arctic.
