The 2010 discovery that early humans and Neanderthals once interbred was a scientific bombshell — the revelation of a genetic legacy that’s since been found to play a role in the lives of modern ...

Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of ...

In 2022, we reported the DNA sequences of 33 medieval people buried in a Jewish cemetery in Germany. Not long after we made the data publicly available, people started comparing their own DNA ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

Long before modern medicine named and cataloged human herpesviruses, at least one of them was already quietly embedding ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA ...

Genetic features known as transposons make up a large portion of many mammalian genomes, including humans', and they are now known to play a variety of roles. Some transposable elements (TEs) could be ...
