DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-09002-1 Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size.

As to how synthetic DNA can benefit society, DNA synthesis could ease some of the supply problems we currently have with natural drugs, including those used in the treatment of malaria, cancer ...

For nearly a decade, social media users have claimed that traces of human DNA exist in hot dogs. A study cited by many people ...

DNA samples were extracted from 345 purchased hot dog products, of which 2% were reportedly found to have contained human DNA. (Clear Labs) But unlike most peer-reviewed research, this document ...

It was an otherwise ordinary day in 2015 when Viviane Slon had her eureka moment. As she worked at her computer, the results revealed the sample she was examining contained human DNA.

Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.

The research team's analysis suggested that modern human DNA entered the Neanderthal genome during at least two distinct epochs of interbreeding — one about 200,000 to 250,000 years ago, and the ...
