One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

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 ...

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Animals that hibernate are incredibly resilient. They can spend months without food or water, muscles refusing to atrophy, body temperature dropping to near freezing as their metabolism and brain ...
