The Power of DNA Testing

Facing uncertainty about a child's biological father can place immense emotional strain on anyone. At The DNA Lab, we understand the importance of resolving these doubts with both compassion and...

Most DNA tests are highly accurate. Over the years, DNA sequencing has become more accessible in terms of price and being able to perform the procedure entirely at home. The process of reading...

Quantum mechanics, which rules the world of the teensy-tiny, may help explain why genetic mutations spontaneously crop up in DNA as it makes copies of itself, a recent study suggests....

In the early 1950s, the identity of genetic material was still a matter of debate. The discovery of the helical structure of double-stranded DNA settled the matter — and changed...

When talking about DNA and how people inherit different traits, you’ll probably come across the term recombination—a critical process in human genetics that ultimately helps give you a diverse genome with...

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule that codes genetic make-up. Here are 20 interesting and fun facts about DNA: The genetic code in DNA consists of only four building...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. The main role of...

DNA replication errors during cell division cause monozygotic twins to diverge from each other even during the earliest stages of development, a new study finds. Rather than having exactly the...

Identical twins form from the same egg and get the same genetic material from their parents — but that doesn't mean they're genetically identical by the time they're born. That's...
