A former Colorado Bureau of Investigation DNA scientist faces 102 criminal charges after authorities said she cut corners and didn’t follow standard testing protocols in hundreds of criminal cases.

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.

Researchers leverage their understanding of molecular motors to improve nanoscale artificial motors, aiming to bridge the speed gap between artificial motors and motor proteins. DNA-nanoparticle motor

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,

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.

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer.

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

A former Colorado Bureau of Investigation forensic scientist accused of mishandling DNA and impacting more than 1,000 cases has been charged with 102 felonies.

A Ramsey County jury has acquitted a St. Paul man in the murder of his girlfriend’s estranged husband. Jurors deliberated more than 15 hours over three days before finding James Edward Hagen not guilty of second-degree murder Tuesday in the July 1 fatal shooting of 35-year-old Jonathan Diaz in the Payne-Phalen area.
