Category: DNA

DNA / privacy / Science and Technology

We’ve left our DNA pretty much everywhere

Human DNA can be found nearly everywhere. That’s good news for science, but bad news for privacy.

Household dust harbors forensic DNA info

Finding DNA in household dust could offer a way to help investigators get leads in difficult-to-solve criminal cases.

DNA / history / horses / Science and Technology

When did horses get to the western US?

For the first time, horses (and their DNA) are telling the story of how they spread and flourished in the western United States.

Kidney cancer mutations could predict recurrence risk

DNA sequencing may provide a more effective way to predict the risk of kidney cancer coming back, researchers report.

aging / DNA / Health and Medicine / telomeres

Measuring telomeres could reveal how fast you’re aging

A new approach that “baits” the caps or telomeres could provide info on how rapidly we’re aging and what we need to do to slow it down.

Aging worms show DNA repair decline limits fertility

A new study with worms suggests one reason reproduction slows with age: a decline in the ability to repair broken DNA strands.

aging / death / DNA / epigenetics / Health and Medicine / post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) / veterans

PTSD may speed up cellular aging

New research with veterans finds a connection between DNA methylation signals of accelerated cellular aging and PTSD.
