Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active field agent within cells. This research by a team led by Professor Jongmin Kim and Ph.

The judge is to send his report by tomorrow to the Florida Supreme Court, which had stayed James Duckett’s execution.

Hidden within fish DNA are powerful genetic twists that may explain one of nature’s biggest mysteries: how new species form so quickly. In Lake Malawi, hundreds of cichlid fish species evolved at lightning speed,

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the DNA is wrapped around a core of histone proteins and tightly packed into so-called nucleosomes.

Humboldt County authorities have successfully identified the remains of two men, Charles Marrs and Gregory Hugh Oliver, who had been missing for decades.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding structure that helps control how genes turn on and off. Researchers at the Salk Institute found that different parts of the genome loop and unloop at different speeds,

DNA study reveals Neanderthals who lived 10,000 years apart in Siberia were closely related, offering new insight into their evolution.

Advancements in genetic testing are creating new leads for a case in 2005, when a man's body was found in a canal near the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. FOX 10's Megan Spector has more.
