Nearly 30 years after a prominent real estate developer was killed in a car bombing, the attorney for one of the people convicted in the murder is seeking a new trial.

The identities of two Detroit men, each found dead years ago, were resolved via DNA testing and genetic genealogy.

1."My Dad is an identical twin. So, all three of my uncle's children should be my half-siblings genetically. They did 23andMe a few years after my siblings and I did. One cousin showed up as a half-sibling, one showed up as a first-second-degree cousin, and the last didn’t show up at all."

David Paul Cady Jr. has been formally charged in a 1996 cold case murder. DNA evidence has tied him to the death of Mary Moore Searight 30 years ago.

Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then, numerous studies have explored the ways in which Neandertal DNA affects our modern physiology,

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion through enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is converted into mechanical motion by biasing the Brownian motion.

In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells that can remain unrepaired for years. While most types of DNA damage are repaired by the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms,

A recent study published in Cell reveals that the repeated DNA sequence that leads to Huntington’s disease (HD) expands slowly over several decades in disease-specific neurons, eventually leading to generation of these neurons and onset of the disease.

The court heard additional arguments from both the prosecution and defense Friday regarding evidence against Bryan Kohberger.

Purification removes contaminants from DNA samples, ensuring the integrity of the genetic material and providing more accurate results.
