A team of experts has proposed storing the DNA of threatened animals in a vault on the lunar surface – Earth's only natural satellite – where conditions are cold enough to preserve the samples.

There are numerous ways to heighten durability to millions of millennia, at the DNA nucleotides and ribose it is possible to swap one, some, or all of the C element atoms at the DNA with silicon ...

A student from Bangladesh studying at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Silchar in Assam was sent back to her country after reacting with a 'love' emoji to an anti-India social media post, ...

Recently, DNA analysis of two skeletons from unmarked graves in a Jamestown church revealed that both people were related to West. The DNA also showed that the men were linked by shared maternal ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm.

Studying how single DNA molecules behave helps us to better understand genetic disorders and design better drugs. Until now however, examining DNA molecules one-by-one was a slow process.

The best way to go about this is with DNA testing kits. These help you learn more about your genetic makeup. The best genetic kits are from Ancestry and 23andMe. The latter was the first to offer ...

2024 has been a great year for soulslike fans. First we finally got our hands on the "Elden Ring" DLC "Shadow of the Erdtree," and now "Black Myth: Wukong" is blowing everyone away. The game is a ...

A new technology using DNA for data storage and computing has been unveiled by researchers from NC State and Johns Hopkins. This innovative approach includes creating dendricolloids to enhance data ...

As direct descendants of ancient bacteria, mitochondria have always been a little alien. Now a study shows that mitochondria are possibly even stranger than we thought. The study, titled "Somatic ...

Previous DNA data storage and computing technologies could complete some but not all of these tasks. The paper, titled "A Primordial DNA Store and Compute Engine," appears in the journal Nature ...
