Organic dinosaur remains were thought to be extremely rare – until now.
Genetic techniques are helping scientists work out how to stop invasive species before they rack up huge environmental and financial costs.
A breakthrough in genetic of the human embryo raises the question of whether we want to create designer babies with greater athletic abilities.
Microbe can explain how ancient ancestors of simple cells like bacteria evolved into the complex cells that make up humans.
microRNA used to be dismissed as “junk DNA”, but it plays an important role regulating the other genes in our genome.
The change of lifestyle from 10,000 years ago had a dramatic impact on the male divefrsity revealed in DNA.
It’s not genes that make mammals so different but the ‘on/off’ switching.
Despite what we see on television, forensic science is not always easy to understand or simple to convey to a jury, many of whom may not have studied science since they were in school. When a case fails…
There’s still a lot we don’t know about how various genes are switched on and off. But a new project is seeking to shed light on the complex world of epigenetics.
What causes cancer? This deceptively simple question has a devilishly complex answer. So when US researchers proposed a relatively simple mathematical formula to explain a long-standing conundrum in cancer…
The Jack the Ripper murders are the most potent cold case ever. More than a century on from the first killing in 1888 they are still attracting global attention. Academics of many disciplines publish on…
In January 1998 five days of freezing rain collapsed the electrical grid of the Canadian province of Québec. The storm left more than 3 million people without electricity for anywhere from a few hours…
Palmer United Party Senator Jacqui Lambie recently created controversy by claiming in her first speech to Parliament that going back six generations, she is related to the renowned Tasmanian Aboriginal…
We live in the age of the genome. Hardly a week goes by without a story about how genes influence our health or behaviour. There has been recent excitement around new advances in the genetics of schizophrenia…
In the world of sport, we remember a winner. Not many people have heard of Pierre Rolland, who finished eighth in the 2012 Tour de France. But everyone knows Bradley Wiggins, who won it. The history of…
Certain bacteria can reshape its own DNA to avoid dehydration, a study from Monash University researchers shows. The bacterial…
Hair colour in humans is largely determined by a molecule critical to stem cell function and development, according to a…
New research has shattered the idea that New Zealand’s iconic kiwi bird is a close relative of Australia’s emu. Instead, the kiwi has a closer connection with a giant flightless bird that was the stuff…
Chromosomes and genes contain the blueprint for your physical characteristics. But your parents’ health and diet before you were conceived can also affect how your genes are expressed – and impact your…
