Research of the human genome has revealed an odd hidden code in our DNA. Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe this could be evidence of alien manipulation, in this scene from Season 13, "The Artificial ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once believed to be “junk DNA.” But that view is changing, and a ...

Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of ...

A model of human DNA is silhouetted against a window in the Sackler Educational Laboratory for Comparative Genomics and Human Origins during the media preview of the Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of ...

Scientists have recently discovered a natural age counter in human DNA. This finding has reversed decades of study as we may ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there's a whole lot of DNA beyond genes that we are just starting to understand.
