David Rand, a professor of natural history at Brown University, explains how studying mitochondria — the cell's energy producers — offers a useful way to understand complex gene-by-gene or ...

In 2008, genetic research suggested that Ötzi’s maternal lineage was extinct. His mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) carried a rare signature never observed in any living person, leading researchers to ...

We’re only in the early stages of 2026, and one massive change from last year may have already occurred: there may actually ...

There may be twice as many vertebrates on the planet as previous estimates claimed, according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. That's ...

The Java software Discourse Network Analyzer (DNA) is a qualitative content analysis tool with network export facilities. You import text files and annotate statements that persons or organizations ...

THE role of an earthly mother is by no means inconsequential to the Incarnation―the mystery by which the Eternal Word took on flesh to dwell with us most radically (John 1:14) ...

Recent advances have increased the number of bacteria, protists, fungi, and insects are known to science, making it difficult ...

It's long been assumed the Jomon people, who had inhabited the Japanese archipelago since around 16,000 years ago, had multiple lineages resulting from different migration routes. But new genetic ...

Domestic pig genes got diluted across generations but their rapid reproductive capacity persisted in hybrid hogs ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held assumption in genetics research. What researchers once thought were knots ...

Evidence suggests a link between impaired nucleotide supply, mtDNA instability, and immune activation, but the mechanisms triggering inflammation in TK2d remain unclear. Primary mitochondrial diseases ...
