Octopuses, squid and cuttlefish carry one of the most unusual genomes in the animal kingdom, and a team at the University of ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study, ...

A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

Every human face is unique, allowing us to distinguish between individuals. We know little about how facial features are encoded in our DNA, but we may be able to learn more about how our faces ...

"Genes affected by these variations are linked to critical biological processes and may help explain individual differences in health and disease." The study also found distinct patterns in STR ...

An evolutionary trait of humans and most animals is that they inherit mitochondrial DNA exclusively from the mother, even though the father's spermatozoa have mitochondria. If spermatozoa have ...

Scientists may have found a clue to one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the origin of life: how fragile RNA molecules could gather and survive before cells existed. New research shows that RNA is ...
