Researchers, including those at the University of Tokyo, have made a surprising discovery hiding in people's mouths: Inocles, giant DNA elements that had previously escaped detection. These appear to ...

DNA analysis shows strong ties to Early Bronze Age Sicily, with little influence from the eastern Mediterranean. There’s also ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...

A schematic describing what Inocles do and where they’re found. It shows the kinds of roles its genes might have, and how those jobs could be connected to things happening in the human body.

DNA analysis has revealed a hidden porcupine species in Colombia, mistaken for over a century. The discovery shows how even ...
