Remarkably, 98 percent of our DNA does not code for genes. Once considered “junk DNA,” it is now well appreciated that these ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence ...

As far as research subjects go, it's not always easy to find common ground with a single-celled bacterium. Yet the more Paul ...

A panel of judges has ruled that it is impossible to determine which of two identical twins fathered a woman’s baby. The child (referred to as "P"), who was conceived in 2017, is now 8 years old, ...
