Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then, numerous studies have explored the ways in which Neandertal DNA affects our modern physiology,

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion through enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is converted into mechanical motion by biasing the Brownian motion.

In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells that can remain unrepaired for years. While most types of DNA damage are repaired by the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms,

Max Matthai decided to get a DNA test for his dog Louie after they kept getting "stopped all the time" and asked the same thing.

After spending close to 49 years on death row, convicted mass murderer Tommy Zeigler could soon win his freedom.

Texas DPS said it identified a man connected with a 1996 cold case of a woman who an Austin park was named after.

Scientists analyzing 2,000-year-old DNA have revealed that a Celtic society in the southern U.K. during the Iron Age was centered around women, a study said.

BOISE, Idaho — Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, is scheduled to have a court hearing on Thursday. According to court documents, the defendant, Kohberger, had a series of hearings this week to discuss 'IGG' or Investigative Genetic Geneology - a method of identifying suspects in criminal cases.

Hippler was appointed to oversee the trial, replacing Judge John Judge, when the trial moved from Latah County to Boise after the defense successfully argued that he would not have an impartial jury in the tight-knit community of Moscow because of the extensive media coverage potentially tainting the jury pool.

The outcome of the hearing may affect the trial's direction as Kohberger's lawyers seek to dismiss DNA evidence.

Researchers leverage their understanding of molecular motors to improve nanoscale artificial motors, aiming to bridge the speed gap between artificial motors and motor proteins. DNA-nanoparticle motor
