An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study, ...

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

"Genes affected by these variations are linked to critical biological processes and may help explain individual differences in health and disease." The study also found distinct patterns in STR ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

When we think about genetic inheritance, we usually leap to DNA, the four-letter code containing the instructions for building a living organism. Scientists know that DNA encodes everything from hair ...

Now writing for Family Tree Magazine and giving talks on DNA, Karen described herself as a historian rather than a scientist.

Researchers extracted DNA from animals that lived in South Africa during the last ice age, revealing that genetic material ...
