In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific methods could help in such cases.

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held assumption in genetics research. What researchers once thought were knots ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing reams of data and how to protect that information from unintended access. Now ...

The Athletic has live coverage of transfer deadline day. Crystal Palace are close to reaching a verbal agreement to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Palace want to strengthen ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Here’s how extinct DNA could help us in the present—and the future. Yeah, we know—it’s not a dire wolf. In early 2025, the Texas biotech company Colossal Biosciences landed with a splash on the cover ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

Dickens on The Strand is Galveston Historical Foundation’s long-running holiday festival, designed to evoke the atmosphere of 19th-century London. The event pairs the island’s preserved Victorian ...

MOORHEAD — Minnesota State Moorhead quarterback Jack Strand is heading to New Jersey in his quest to pursue a career in pro football. Strand told The Forum on Wednesday he has decided to work with ...
