It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current genetic research. Because .

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Chimpanzees, along with bonobos, are humans' closest living relatives. In fact, you may have heard that humans and chimps share 98.8% of their DNA. But is this actually true? And what does "similar ...
