Neanderthal genes seem to have hung around long after Neanderthals themselves did, as new scientific dating of the famed Lapedo Child remains shows that remains of a child with both human and ...

These are created by transferring nuclei containing DNA from human cells into animal eggs that have had almost all of their genetic information removed. The resulting embryos are more than 99% ...

The study described the retrieval of human and animal DNA from 25,000-year-old sediments in the El Mirón cave, located in Ramales de la Victoria, Cantabria. For the first time, researchers managed to ...

A new study analyzes sedimentary ancient DNA, or sedaDNA, to provide more context to the comings and goings—both human and animal—of the El Mirón Cave as well as the Red Lady’s ancestry.

Ancient DNA is telling us more and more about humans and environments long past. Could it also help rescue the future?

A first-ever analysis of the whole Greenland shark genome gives researchers a couple of clues to their longevity.

genes that perform certain functions in lower animals have been maintained even in the human DNA script, though sometimes the genes have been modified for more complex functions. This thread of ...

Remnants of ancient viral pandemics in the form of viral DNA sequences embedded in our genomes are still ... The most famous HERV embedded in human and animal genomes, syncytin, is a gene derived from ...
