Ancient DNA was thought to be almost impossible to preserve in sub-Saharan Africa due to heat and humidity. Yet a 50,000-year ...

DNA recovered from remains in Belgium and France offers a very different picture of Neanderthal life during the species’ final millennia.

Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a minuscule speck invisible to the naked eye—like compressing a whole house into a single sugar cube. In order to fit in a cell and ...

DNA-Encoded Library (DEL) technology has transformed early-stage drug discovery by enabling the simultaneous synthesis and screening of millions to billions of small molecules in a single pooled ...

DNA from ancient humans has been found on a prehistoric cave painting and on cave walls, demonstrating the potential to one day identify individual artists and resolve the debate over Neanderthals' ar ...

In new research, 19 new fragments of non-human DNA have been discovered. The origin of this genetic material is from viruses that first infected our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago. The ...

The biodiversity crisis demands rapid identification and monitoring of species across ecosystems. DNA barcoding, which uses short, standardised gene sequences to discriminate taxa, has revolutionised ...
