A precise, inexpensive way of editing DNA could open up new paths to treating disease and improving our crops, but the technology is already proving controversial ...

A more efficient DNA technology to detect and treat infectious diseases and cancer has been developed by researchers.

Researchers have discovered the details of how cells repair breaks in both strands of DNA, a potentially devastating kind of DNA damage.

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with international institutions, has uncovered a key mechanism in how DNA behaves as it passes through nanoscale pores—a ...

A Sticky Situation: Recombinant DNA Technology Janet Mertz’s work with simian virus 40 DNA during her graduate years was pivotal for developing DNA recombination as we now know it.

Thanks to new technology at the Hernando County Detention Center, it takes just a few hours to learn if an inmate's DNA is connected to other investigations.

She explained that since the dawn of DNA technology, officers have been trained to solely ingest DNA into the CODIS, or The Combined DNA Index System, a national DNA database that allows law ...

There have been significant improvements in DNA technology that has helped solve active and cold cases. Could those techniques finally provide the evidence to get an indictment and conviction in ...
