A police expert said Tuesday that DNA she collected at a murder scene &#151; evidence prosecutors have said matched the genetic profile of serial killings suspect Derrick Todd Lee &#151; was so rare there is only a one in 3.6 quadrillion chance the DNA would match any randomly selected person.

It has been 50 years since scientists first created DNA in a test tube, stitching ordinary chemical ingredients together to make life's most extraordinary molecule. Until recently, however, even the most sophisticated laboratories could make only small snippets of DNA -- an extra gene or two to b...

Of mice and men DNA sequences we share with mice might not be as important as researchers previously thought. A series of experiments on mice at Berkeley have cast doubt on the notion that these so-called ultraconserved elements of DNA are indispensable, after test mice with sequences snipped out managed to grow up just fine.â¦
