A new study analyzes sedimentary ancient DNA, or sedaDNA, to provide more context to the comings and goings—both human and animal—of the El Mirón Cave as well as the Red Lady’s ancestry.

During the process of transcription, DNA is converted to RNA, a complex molecule that is able to carry genetic information outside of the cell's nucleus. This page guides you through the ...

With the exception of red blood cells, which contain no nucleus and no nuclear DNA, every one of these cells contains the human genome -- a string of three billion A's, C's, G's, and T's.

Since that finding, the Red Lady has continued to offer a torrent of extraordinary information to archaeologists and bioanthropologists. Usually, when speaking of DNA and archaeology, people know ...

So why doesn’t red wine protect against cancer? Likely because the amount of resveratrol in a glass of wine is too small.

The decoding of information in a cell's DNA into proteins begins with a complex interaction of nucleic acids. Learn how this step inside the nucleus leads to protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.
