Features like sizable noses, protruding brow ridges, and strong lower jaws gave them a distinct appearance. But since the ...

Each human and Neanderthal genome contains around three billion DNA letters, which makes it extremely difficult to identify ...

Every human face is unique, allowing us to distinguish between individuals. We know little about how facial features are ...

Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective ...

The formation of DNA adducts due to flavouring substances, particularly those derived from botanicals, has emerged as a critical area of toxicological research. Many naturally occurring compounds ...

A team of scientists at the University of Seville has identified an essential process that protects DNA integrity in reproductive cells, providing new clues about how organisms avoid genetic defects ...

New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a major breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic force ...
