There remains an exception to the genetic inheritance- and two teams have investigated a case where a biological trait was transferred not through genes, but through a memory mechanism.
America's largest sandwich chain is facing a lawsuit claiming that laboratory tests showed no tuna DNA in their famous foot-long sandwich. But is this claim true? Here's what an expert says.
After exposing to high levels of cosmic radiation, freeze-dried mouse sperm stored in the International Space Station produced surprisingly healthy space pups.
Scientists from the University of Arizona have developed a harmless bacteria strain that cures bad breath in dogs. It is modified to mimic the smell of pear and mint.
Scientists used algorithms to examine how cancer cells re-organize the 3D structure of their DNA to increase the activity of oncogenes, which promotes the proliferation of cancer cells.
CHOP researchers recently discovered the genetic mutation responsible for a boy's condition, which prevents him and other patients like him from forming antibodies and B cells to combat infections.
Researchers at the University of California - Riverdale devised a "chemical nose" that could sniff out changes in the DNA structure, such as folds in the DNA sequence, to prevent diseases.
Two teams of researchers from the Switzerland-based University of Geneva recently discovered a diet-dependent mechanism for the regulation of RNA maturation.
Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History found clues on the DNA of the extinct horned crocodile, suggesting that it is closely related to true crocodiles, such as the famous Nile crocodile.
National DNA Day 2021 is an important celebration of scientific discovery. It is worthy to celebrate as it commemorates the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953 and the Human Genome's Project's completion in 2003.
A study of researchers from the University of Michigan sheds new light on skin repair that brings the possibility of organ regeneration one step closer.
