Holding that a child “is not a chattel or a ball that is bounced to and fro,” the Tripura High Court ruled that custody ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held assumption in genetics research. What researchers once thought were knots ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding for diverse biological applications, such as proteins that form the building ...

Artist, inventor and anatomist Leonardo da Vinci was the definition of a Renaissance man — and scientists are aiming to unlock the secrets of his genius on a genetic level. But there’s just one ...

Researchers suggest that they have recovered sequences from ancient works and from letters that may belong to the Renaissance genius. Historical artifacts can accumulate DNA from the environment and ...

Scientists hunting for the DNA of famed Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci say they’ve made a breakthrough—but some experts caution against interpreting the results as a smoking gun.

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

In mid-December, the 20-year-old Minneapolis resident was walking through the city’s Cedar-Riverside neighborhood when federal immigration officers stopped him. He offered to show identification. They ...
