DNA from two mummies at Takarkori links them to 15,000-year-old Taforalt hunter-gatherers, challenging the idea of the Green Sahara as a migration corridor.

With the company’s data up for sale, the genetic information of 15 million people are now up for grabs.

New DNA evidence led Italian prosecutors to reopen the investigation into the 2007 murder of 26-year-old Italian woman.

'In this study, we demonstrated that there are in fact some genes without which a cancer cell cannot survive, making them excellent targets for CRISPR therapy,' said Prof. Dan Peer.

Scientists have identified both a new species and genus of sunflower in the Texas desert, but climate change may threaten its future before we fully understand it.

The Xiongnu Empire had dissolved around 100 CE, leaving a 300-year gap before the appearance of the Huns in Europe.

For the first time, researchers managed to recover DNA from sediment at a Cantabrian site.

Findings challenge previous belief that Europeans developed light skin soon after arriving 45,000 years ago.

This change in gene expression due to secondhand smoke exposure may make children more vulnerable to disease as adults.

'We don't know how frequently these events occur in Australian waters and therefore how significant these findings are,' said Associate Professor Adam Miller.
