But they disagree on whether studying social genomics—elucidating any potential genetic contributions to behaviors ranging from mental illnesses to educational attainment to political affiliation—can ...

In “What We Inherit,” Sam Trejo and Daphne O. Martschenko examine the link between genetic myths and social genomics.

Last week, Colossal Biosciences made global headlines when they announced that they had successfully brought the dire wolf back from extinction, or at least a version of one. Colossal's team used ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

DNA thin films and nanostructures represent a versatile class of materials that exploit the inherent self-assembly, molecular recognition, and programmability of deoxyribonucleic acid. Over recent ...

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine alumnus and former faculty member Hamilton O. Smith, whose 1978 Nobel Prize-winning discovery of restriction enzymes revolutionized genetic engineering, ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...

Millions struggle with depression and anxiety, often enduring long waits for effective treatment. Scientists in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany are developing a genetic test to predict which medications ...

Colombian law demands that, after rehabilitation, trafficked wildlife must be released in their original home range. But that is often difficult to determine. Researchers sequenced the DNA of Colombia ...

Romulus and Remus are the genetically modified gray wolves that Colossal Biosciences endowed with traits of the extinct dire wolf. (Credit: Colossal Biosciences) Last week, Colossal Biosciences made ...
