A Y DNA male lineage DNA test is often the best option when the alleged siblings to be tested are males. The Y-STR test can conclusively determine if (2) or more males originate from some the same male line. Candidates for Y DNA testing include brothers, paternal cousins, grandfather/grandson, uncle/nephew and more, as long as...
What Is A Grandparent DNA Test?...
In the realm of genetics, the mystery surrounding twins has long fascinated scientists and the general populace alike. The curious phenomenon of two individuals sharing a womb, yet possessing distinct identities, prompts an age-old question: are they identical or fraternal? While traditional methods of observation and inference...
A new study has been published showcasing a new DNA-based nanobot that could open the door to producing life-saving drugs in the human body. A team of researchers from New York University have developed DNA-based nanobots that could, in theory, replicate themselves exponentially. Developed by Feng Zhou and his team, the tiny DNA...
China offered multiple countries help with COVID-19 testing during the pandemic. The payoff for Beijing included access to the DNA of millions of people.
The Expedition 69 crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) focused its main research activities on biotechnology on Wednesday. The orbital residents also continued the ongoing maintenance of lab hardware. Research on the Space Station Researchers on the ground use the facilities aboard th
Humankind struggled to survive during a 100,000 year period during the early Pleistocene, according to researchers who used a computer model to discover a severe population bottleneck in our species’ ancient past....
#BryanKohberger's Defense called for the State to provide all DNA evidence against the accused quadruple murder.#Kohberger is accused of fatally stabbing stu...
Researchers have delved into molecular "de-extinction," studying ancient genomes for potential antibiotics. Their work unearthed antimicrobial molecules from Neanderthals and Denisovans, challenging traditional notions of protein functions and raising bioethical queries. “We need to think big in
An international group of scientists has been studying a group of microorganisms called Asgard archaea for several years. Their research indicates that these distinct organisms are the origin of all complex life forms that populate our world today. The first life forms that evolved on Earth were
Armed with plastic boxes, a group of scientists from the University of Copenhagen sought to "vacuum" animal DNA using DNA air sampling.
About 90,000 years ago, an interesting child walked the Earth. This individual was a young human hybrid. Nicknamed Denny by scientists, the ancient girl is the only known individual whose parents were from two different human species!
Ancient protein sequences identify the sex of Paranthropus robustus fossils and hint at evolutionary relationships.

"A study reports data from the first phase of the Chinese Pangenome Consortium including 116 de novo assemblies from 58 core samples representing 36 minority Chinese ethnic groups."...
Researchers have newly discovered a surprising and potentially significant reason why eating foods frequently cooked at high temperatures, such as red meat and deep-fried fare, elevates cancer risk. The alleged culprit: DNA within the food that's been damaged by the cooking process.
