Life’s story may stretch further back than scientists once thought. Some genes found in nearly every organism today were already duplicated before all life shared a common ancestor. By tracking these ...

Scientists find genes that are actually older than the ancestor of all living things
Imagine rewinding the tape of life. You go back past the dinosaurs, past the explosion of animal life in the Cambrian, past ...
A gene-edited mouse created with two male parents has now survived to reach adulthood. This is a momentous occasion for genetics, as previous attempts to create bi-paternal mice have failed for a ...

Neanderthals and Denisovans may have shared a genetic toolkit for language
A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...
Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...
NEW YORK (AP) — Neanderthals and humans likely mixed and mingled during a narrow time frame 45,000 years ago, scientists reported Thursday. Researchers analyzed ancient genes to pinpoint the time ...
What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
How much of our lifespan is written in our genes, and how much is sitting on our plates? A new analysis suggests that while ...
The length of your life may depend more upon your genes than scientists thought. Once you remove from consideration events that cut life short — such as infections and injury — genetics account for ...
Scientists used precise gene-editing to grow larger African eggplants. Credit: Zachary Lippman, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Tomatoes come in all kinds of colors, sizes, and flavors. But what’s going ...
A groundbreaking study suggests that our genes may play a much larger role in our expiration date than we ever imagined.
Labrador retriever owners are likely familiar with how persistent their dogs can be in their quest for food, whether begging under the dinner table or stealing a snack left unattended. It’s no ...
