The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...
A 5,500-year-old skeleton from Colombia has revealed the oldest known genome of the bacterium linked to syphilis and related ...
Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...
A bizarre and ugly fish that has been around for hundreds of millions of years has been discovered to have the most DNA of any animal ever found. These South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) ...
A virus that infects nearly all children early in life has, in rare cases, been present within human DNA for thousands of years.
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.
It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...
Humans, who are classified among the five great apes, are closest genetically, i.e., DNA similarity, to chimpanzees (98.8%-99%) and bonobos (98.8%). [Blueringmedia ...
