Discover the latest news, features and articles about the origin of the human species and what makes us different from our ...

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before in a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center. The researchers found that ...

Researchers have changed the way to look at DNA. They show that DNA is much more than a linear sequence of building blocks; it has a 3D structure that influences the variation of human genome-wide ...

A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

The human body is a machine whose many parts – from the microscopic details of our cells to our limbs, eyes, liver and brain – have been assembled in fits and starts over the four billion years of our ...

A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...

Genes are short sections of DNA that determine an animal’s traits—everything from coat color and claw strength to body shape ...

EVOFLUx uses DNA methylation fluctuations as molecular barcodes to trace tumor evolution, offering insights into growth, treatment resistance, and prognosis. The method requires only bulk methylation ...
