A former CBI DNA analyst was criminally charged for over a year after the agency learned about mishandled or manipulated evidence. Yvonne "Missy" Woods faces over 100 separate charges related to over 1,

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.

Ziegler's attorneys say DNA evidence proves Zeigler didn't commit the murders of his wife and in-laws that landed him on death row almost five decades ago.

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,

Experts say DNA testing is how most cold cases are now being solved. It helped identify a suspect in the murder of a McKinley High School student with evidence preserved from

After nearly 50 years, the Honolulu Police Department made an arrest at a Utah nursing home in connection to the 1977 killing of Dawn Momohara. She was found sexually assaulted

Researchers at deCODE genetics have developed a groundbreaking DNA map, revealing the intricate process of genetic recombination during reproduction. This map highlights areas of DNA that undergo minimal reshuffling to maintain genetic stability and explains why some pregnancies fail.

The surprising paradigm shift could lead to much more protective sunscreens and effective skin treatments.

Max Matthai decided to get a DNA test for his dog Louie after they kept getting "stopped all the time" and asked the same thing.

Ian and Shawn Schweitzer argued in a federal lawsuit that local police had failed to arrest a leading suspect.
