PCR-grade water was used as the negative control and processed with the other samples in the DNA extraction process to evaluate contamination in the kit reagents. Amplicon library preparation was ...

Your DNA may predict more about you than the way you look. According to the genetic theory of aging, your genes (as well as mutations in those genes) are responsible for how long you'll live. Here's ...

They found that while our genes code for almost all the same proteins as other apes, many of our genes are much more productive than those of other primates. Each gene tells a cell to make a ...
