12,000-Year-Old Wolf Remains in Alaska Show Early Signs of Human Interaction
A 12,000-year-old wolf leg bone discovered at the Swan Point archaeological site in Alaska has provided new insights into early human-wolf interactions. DNA analysis confirmed the animal was related to wolves, while chemical isotope testing showed it had a diet rich in salmon, suggesting possible human involvement. Researchers debate whether this a...

AI Unlocks “DNA Grammar” for Targeted Gene Editing, Enhancing Gene Therapy, and More
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Broad Institute, and Yale University use AI to identify DNA sequences that control gene activation in specific cells. This AI model decodes patterns in DNA regions called cis-regulatory elements (CREs), guiding synthetic DNA switches for cell-specific gene activity. Early testing in animal models showed succes...

Tsavo Man-Eaters: Centuries-Old Lion Teeth Reveal Shocking New Details
This study not only identifies the specific animals the lions preyed on but also provides clues as to why they targeted humans.

Woolly Mammoth DNA, Frozen 52,000 Years, Ago May Be Used To Revive Species
About 52,000 years ago, the skinned hide of a Siberian woolly mammoth was exposed to conditions so frigid that it spontaneously freeze-dried, locking its DNA fragments into place.

Japan Zoo Discovers Male Resident Hippo Is A Female After 7 Years
"When introducing the animal, the person in charge of the zoo where it was kept explained that it was a 'male' and the documents required for import also indicated that it was a 'male'," the zoo said.

Poop Patrol: Dogs To Face DNA Testing In French Town To Tackle Droppings
Dog owners in a southern French town are having to get their pets DNA tested under new rules to tackle the scourge of poop-strewn pavements.

Stress Increases Our Biological Age But It Can Be Restored: Study
In addition to measuring how biological age varies in response to stress in animal models and human datasets, this new study also discovers that stress-induced ageing surges may simply be a temporary phenomenon.

2 Million-Year-Old DNA, Oldest Ever Found, Reveals Greenland's Lost World
Scientists have identified DNA from animals, plants and microbes dating to about 2 million years ago - the oldest on record by far - from sediment at Greenland's northernmost point dug up around the mouth of an Arctic Ocean fjord.

Bioscience Firm Colossal Says It Will Bring Back Woolly Mammoths, Other Species From Extinction Using CRISPR
A new bioscience company called Colossal is planning to bring back species, such as the woolly mammoth, back from extinction using CRISPR gene-editing technology.

High Carb Diet Linked To Obesity, Finds Study
Researchers have identified a DNA mutation common in animals that may explain why a diet high in carbohydrates induces obesity and diabetes in some but not others.

High Carbohydrate Diet May Induce Obesity And Diabetes; Low-Carb Foods To Eat
According to a study published in the journal PLOS Genetics, researchers have identified a DNA mutation common in animals that may explain why a diet high in carbohydrates induces obesity and diabetes in some but not others

Bigfoot? Dogman? Authorities Have No Idea What This Wolf-Like Creature Is
In Montana, it's legal to shoot wolves that get perilously close to people or livestock, and that's exactly what a rancher in Denton thought he did, putting a bullet into something with four legs and canine teeth that came within stalking distance of his herd. But when he summoned wildlife officials to investigate, something was off.

Genes Tell How The Giraffe Got Its Long Neck
Scientists have sequenced the genome of the giraffe for the first time, uncovering DNA quirks that help explain how the tallest animals on earth developed their remarkably long necks.

Caution: A Diet Rich in Omega 6 Fatty Acids Can Cause Liver Cancer
We all know that antioxidants are supposed to prevent DNA damage. But employing antioxidants could backfire - at least in the case of omega 6 fatty acids that have been found to promote cancer in animal studies. In their study, researchers found that...
