In a stunning new study, geneticists in Japan have revealed how injecting a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal gene into mice has led to profound changes in their skeletal structure. This experiment, ...

For centuries, we’ve imagined Neanderthals as distant cousins — a separate species that vanished long ago. But thanks to ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven ...

Solid-state nanopore sensing of ultralong genomic DNA molecules has remained challenging, as the DNA must be controllably delivered by its leading end for efficient entry into the nanopore. Herein, we ...

The discovery may explain why cutting edge CAR T-cell therapy has managed to revolutionized treatment for blood cancer but can struggle against solid tumors.
