The collection of high-quality genomic DNA remains a major barrier in pediatric and neurodevelopmental research, particularly ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

A reduced genome in an island species raises evolutionary questions.

I have spent years covering discoveries that nudge our origin story around the edges, but the sequencing of DNA from one of the very last Neanderthals does something different: it rewrites the center ...

A single Neanderthal skeleton pulled from a cave in the Rhône Valley has opened a window onto a branch of our cousins that split off early and then stayed apart. The newly sequenced genome reveals a ...
