Forensics experts gather DNA to understand who was present at a crime scene. But what if the crime occurred in the middle of ...

Artist, inventor and anatomist Leonardo da Vinci was the definition of a Renaissance man — and scientists are aiming to ...

This important study, which tackles the challenge of analyzing genome integrity and instability in unicellular pathogens by introducing a novel single-cell genomics approach, presents compelling ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Scientists have uncovered genetic evidence that they say may be linked to the Renaissance master, but some experts are more skeptical ...

At the heart of the case against the man accused of the Gilgo Beach killings is DNA evidence — but the novel way that evidence was tested may now determine whether prosecutors can use it against their ...

This fundamental manuscript presents a practical modification of the orthogonal hybridization chain reaction (HCR) technique, a promising yet underutilized method with broad potential for future ...

A recent study in West Bengal used DNA barcoding and traditional methods of species identification to document fish diversity in the Purba Midnapore district. Ambiguities in species identities when ...

Genetic genealogy is identifying the mothers of deceased newborns found abandoned, shedding light on crimes that went unsolved for years. Women now may face lengthy prison sentences for decades-old ...

This study is based on a total of 3,481 specimens (Figure 2). The specimens were either stored in the Canadian National Collect of Insects (CNC) or on loan from the Center for Biodiversity Genomics ...

Summary: Researchers have developed a genetic “barcoding” method to trace how stem cells in embryos become neurons and inner ear cells. By labeling early stem cells in mice, the team followed their ...
