DNA tech offers both data storage and computing functions
1+ day, 1+ hour ago (307+ words) Researchers from North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data -- that uses DNA rather than conventional electronics. Previous…...
Infant memories: Lost but not gone?
3+ day, 18+ hour ago (201+ words) Infantile amnesia is not simply a story about forgetting the past. It is an opportunity to understand how memory itself is built. More contemporary psychological accounts have linked infantile amnesia to the immaturity of the hippocampus, a brain structure critical…...
The Denisovans who interbred with modern humans were already hybrids. UC Berkeley researchers inferred that 3 to 5 percent of their DNA came from an unidentified hominin lineage that diverged from ours roughly 1.8 million years ago—meaning some people alive today carry genetic material passed through two separate episodes of interbreeding across hundreds of thousands of years.
14+ hour, 35+ min ago (1098+ words) A genomic reconstruction suggests Denisovans inherited 3 to 5 percent of their DNA from a much older unidentified lineage before passing a fraction onward to modern humans. By Lab Report · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 14, 2026 · How we edit The Denisovans who…...
Letter: There is a future for data farms in DNA storage
23+ hour, 52+ min ago (218+ words) First of all, data farms are not going away, but there is universal concern about how these monstrosities affect the environment. The digital age has reached a crucial point with worldwide data generating 200 “zettabytes” by 2025 and a projection of a…...
An Ancient Body Found in the Ice in 1859 Has Finally Been Identified Using DNA From a Living BBC Journalist
1+ day, 2+ hour ago (483+ words) A body pulled from the Arctic ice in 1859 has finally been given a name. Researchers at the University of Waterloo have used DNA from living descendants to identify four more sailors from Sir John Franklin‘s doomed 1845 expedition, among them…...
Cave fossils in China reveal lives of mysterious human relatives
1+ day, 18+ hour ago (912+ words) Estimated read time: 7-8 minutes Archaeologists excavating a cave in southwestern China have unearthed fossilized remains that belonged to an enigmatic population of extinct hominins, revealing new details about their long-lost way of life. The new haul — which includes four teeth,…...
Chemists Craft a One-Handed Molecule That Disarms a Cell-Death Protein
1+ day, 8+ hour ago (661+ words) A single protein called BAX sits at the gateway between life and death for human cells. When tissues are injured, stressed, or deprived of oxygen, BAX springs into action, punching holes in the outer membrane of mitochondria and triggering the…...
Jumping Plant Lice Genome Study Rewrites the Family Tree of Triozidae
1+ day, 8+ hour ago (587+ words) A team of researchers in China has sequenced the first complete mitochondrial genome of the jumping plant louse Bactericera gobica and, by combining it with nearly every other Triozidae mitogenome available, assembled the most comprehensive genetic dataset ever compiled for…...
BenchHub Turns Computational Biology Benchmarking Into a Living,
1+ day, 9+ hour ago (618+ words) Every day, computational biologists release new methods for analyzing genomes, single cells, microbiomes and molecular signatures, and every day researchers struggle with the same question: which method actually works best for their data? The answer usually depends on benchmarks—structured…...
Proteomic Aging Clocks Enter the Clinic in Landmark Phase 2a Geroprotection
1+ day, 10+ hour ago (744+ words) For decades, the central obstacle to testing therapies that slow human aging has been painfully simple: aging takes decades to measure. A drug that genuinely delays the biological processes of aging would need years, often a lifetime, of follow-up before…...
