One person's junk is another's treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of "junk" DNA that were ...

Cobraa was tested by applying data simulations to human genes that were gathered from the 1000 Genomes Project, a catalog that includes international findings gathered between 2008 and 2015.

Scientists used diverse genomes to complete a fuller human DNA map. This unlocks hidden risks and improves diagnoses.

Scientists have long debated how modern humans evolved. For decades, most researchers agreed that Homo sapiens came from one ancestral group in Africa, dating back 200,000 to 300,000 years. But ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

More information: Human genomic DNA is widely interspersed with i-motif structures, The EMBO Journal (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s44318-024-00210-5 Journal information: EMBO Journal ...

A team of researchers from University of Utah Health, University of Washington, PacBio, and other institutions has used multiple DNA sequencing technologies to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet ...

A lost chapter in human evolution has been revealed after an analysis of modern DNA found that we come from not one but two ancestral populations—ones that drifted apart and later reconnected ...

How is DNA used to identify victims of mass disasters? Race and genetics do not line up well, new study confirms Best-ever map of the human genome reveals 'hidden' regions of DNA ...

For nearly a decade, social media users have claimed that traces of human DNA exist in hot dogs. A study cited by many people was first published in 2015 and resurfaced in 2024. One recent example ...
