They created the fragments from scratch and dropped them into mouse blood cells, where the sequence fused with the genome at random locations. The experiments worked exactly as predicted and pave ...

Some lucky people have rare genetic mutations that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep, while the rest of us need around eight hours to function.

Scientists long believed the human genome consisted mostly of useless DNA. These sequences, after all, aren’t translated into proteins, making them appear as bits of genetic material with no ...

For the new study, Dr. Worobey, Dr. Pekar and their colleagues compared the genomes of 250 coronaviruses, using their genetic similarities and differences to determine their relationships.

Some people can feel well-rested and show no negative effects of sleep deprivation, even after just 4 hours of sleep, which is likely the result of a genetic mutation. A recent study has reported ...

When 15 million consumers readily sent saliva samples to the genetic testing company 23andMe, they were eager to uncover mysteries surrounding their ancestry, family traits or potential health ...

Birmingham scientists have identified an essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to "displace" antibiotic-resistance genes from bacteria. Plasmids, which are small ...

If you can’t, you don’t. Blame your parents. But what if that lesson is wrong? What if many other genetic myths are simply wrong as well (or at least misleading)? Simon Fisher, a geneticist at ...

DNA i-motif structures are formed in the nuclei of human cells and are believed to provide critical genomic regulation. While the existence, abundance, and distribution of i-motif structures in human ...
