Now, for the first time in a laboratory, Professor Veyrier's team has identified a family of enzymes capable of cutting a specific sequence in single-stranded DNA: the family of Ssn endonucleases ...

A study suggests that Homo sapiens may have benefited from the use of ochre and tailored clothing during a period of increased UV light 41,000 years ago, during the Laschamps excursion. Ancient ...

The findings could have applications in biotechnology, opening up perspectives for regulating gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. N4-methylcytosine (4mC) is a form of ...

However, epigenetic variation does not involve changes to the genetic sequence that makes up DNA. Instead, like punctuation and highlights in a text, these epigenetic markers and modifications in ...

As US President Donald Trump takes aim at the Smithsonian Institution for "anti-American ideology", Adam Rutherford examines what the science of genetics has taught us about race. When scientists ...

But they don’t tell you where specific genetic sequences were located inside that sample, or their relationship to other genes and molecules. Researchers at the University of Chicago are developing a ...

Regeneron and GlaxoSmithKline have joined forces to generate genetic sequence data from the 500,000 volunteers in the UK’s Biobank database. The companies hope the initiative will give insights ...
