A group of researchers has re-created with remarkable accuracy part of the genome of the common ancestor of all placental mammals, a small shrew-like creature that prowled the forests of what is now Asia more than 80 million years ago.

Unleashing a new kind of DNA analyzer on a 38,000-year-old fragment of fossilized Neanderthal bone, scientists have reconstructed a portion of that creature's genetic code -- a technological tour de force that has researchers convinced they will soon know the entire DNA sequence of the closest...

The much-heralded genome is just a parts list. New research is revealing when, and why, genes do what they do in living cells--a big step toward understanding, and ultimately curing, disease.

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¦

How many genes does it take to make a human? Only about the same number it takes for a small flowering plant or a tiny worm, says a new estimate that&#39;s sharply reduced from just three years ago.
