We now have only the second high-quality genome from an ancient Denisovan human, which reveals there were more populations of ...

DNA shines a light back into the past, showing us things that fossils can't. But how far back can that light extend? Some of the oldest DNA sequences come from mastodon and polar bear fossils about 50 ...

A vaccine that tackles the bacteria that cause up to 200 million childhood infections every year could be possible, experts ...

This important and compelling study establishes a robust computational and experimental framework for the large-scale identification of metallophore biosynthetic clusters. The work advances beyond ...
