Environmental DNA contained in a small sample of water, sand or even air can reveal the presence of people, wildlife and pathogens, helping researchers track where they’ve migrated.
Scientists pieced together the genetic history of Acinetobacter baumannii — a notoriously stubborn hospital pathogen — using samples dating back 50 years to the 1970s.
Scientists from Rutgers University found DNA and genes from mice have changed to adapt and survive even the strongest poisons available.
Dutch researchers have identified a gene in long-lived families that may be responsible for their longevity being passed on.
People who vape regularly show altered activity in 3,124 genes across the genome compared with people who do not smoke or vape.
The patch delivers healing proteins from engineered cells in a mini "factory" around the clock to different types of injury.
The breakthrough at Columbia University lays the groundwork for future clinical studies aimed at developing new treatments.
