home dna test

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...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have shown for the first time that animal DNA shed within the environment can be collected from the air. The proof-of-concept study, published in the...

Coronavirus affects people differently – some infected develop life-threatening disease, while others remain asymptomatic. And a year after COVID-19 emerged, it’s still unclear why. To try and answer this question,...

We shed DNA everywhere. That includes the air, according to a new study. We leave DNA all over the place, including in the air, and for the first time, researchers...

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....

A study by researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is challenging traditional practices for validating DNA sequencing results. The research suggests that newer, faster, "next-generation" DNA sequencing...

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...
