Forensic DNA evidence tampering is no longer theoretical: researchers showed AI-assisted code can silently alter crime-lab ...

A newly mapped step in DNA replication suggests that strand separation begins at a precise junction between two helicase ...

Researchers found that widely used lab machines produced digital DNA files that are vulnerable to tampering.

The software most American crime labs use to read DNA evidence carried a flaw. It let someone with the right access quietly rewrite the results, and leave almost no trace. AI made the attack easy. The ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

Humans carry the DNA of two mysterious “ghost” ancestors who passed on their genes before going extinct, researchers have said.

But did our direct ancestors interbreed with other long-lost hominin lineages before the first major migrations out of Africa ...

Mathematics has always been at the core of securing information. From online banking to government communications, modern society relies on cryptography, in which complex mathematical algorithms ...
