Witness the fascinating world of DNA replication brought to life through magnetic ball experiments. These magnetic games use a unique visual approach to demonstrate how the building blocks of life ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

Could a novel approach to genetic studies give us a clearer picture of how evolutionary adaptations occur? That's what the ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...

The transfer of this principle to artificial cells is a challenge in synthetic biology. Advances in DNA nanotechnology now offer promising solutions. They allow the creation of novel transport ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

“All these technologies aim to reduce the burden of describing methodology, reduce ambiguity, facilitate communication, and ...

A 2015 report published by a private genomics testing company found that 2% of 345 hot dogs tested contained traces of human DNA. However, it was unclear whether that report was a peer-reviewed ...

If you'd like to learn more about your health, heritage and family history, an at-home DNA test can help you do just that. Justin Jaffe is the Managing Editor for CNET Money. He has more than 20 ...
