Over the last 20 years, genetic research has changed dramatically. An explosion of genomic data has reshaped how we ...

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the process, viruses leave behind remnants throughout the genetic material ...

African wild dogs are carnivores always thought to hunt in packs. But new DNA analysis has found they also eat small birds ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide.

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...
