Difference between DNA and RNA
Technically, ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid sure sound alike. But lets face it, in the human body, redundancy does not exist. Check out this article to understand the differentiation in DNA and RNA.

DNA Extraction
A process that extracts DNA from a cell, by segregating it from cellular constituents such as lipids and metabolites, is called DNA extraction.

DNA Sequencing
DNA sequencing is a revolutionary concept in biological research that attempts to decode the human body and its working. The accurate mapping of genes and genomes is achieved through this sequencing technology. Read on to learn more...

DNA Translation
In a nutshell, DNA translation can be defined as the process that "translates" the information contained in the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) to facilitate polypeptide or protein synthesis.

Who Discovered DNA
Who discovered DNA? Read on to find out the history of DNA discovery...

Now it Takes Three to Tango
New research has created disease-free embryos by using genetic material from three "parents:" one man and two women. Some people think it’s creepy.

Bio Chips Part 2
Breaker’s invention opens the way for future RNA chips capable of revealing the molecular composition of complex mixtures-like blood serum and industrial waste-far more comprehensively than current biochips.

Scientists Unravel Neanderthal Genome
Extraordinary feat will shed light on what it means to be human

The DNA Evolution
Spiritual awareness as a complete process of evolution involving our soul, our mind and our body as well. The "Ascension" is a global phenomenon based on our DNA code evolution.

'DNA Find' on Knife in Case of Kercher Killing
Forensic science officers investigating the murder of British student Meredith Kercher have allegedly found DNA matching that of both the murder victim and her flatmate Amanda Knox on a knife in the house of Knox's boyfriend, it emerged last night

I Am Creating Artificial Life, Declares Us Gene Pioneer
Craig Venter, the controversial DNA researcher involved in the race to decipher the human genetic code, has built a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals and is poised to announce the creation of the first new artificial life form on Earth.

The Enigma of Italy's Ancient Etruscans is Finally Unravelled
Genetic research DNA tests on their Italian descendants show the 'tuscii' came from Turkey.

Air Pollution Linked to Sperm Damage
Air pollution can damage sperm, potentially leading to birth defects or miscarriages, according to research published yesterday. Scientists said the results were a warning of the number of chemicals commonly present in the air that can cause damage to human DNA.

Cloning Breakthrough Raises Hope of Tackling Human Diseases
Researchers in France report in Science today that they have successfully transferred DNA from an adult rat cell into an egg, raising hopes that scientists will be able to test promising drugs on identical, genetically modified rats.

Sars Dna Sequenced But China Shuts Down
Researchers have begun the first close look at the molecular makeup of the Sars virus, as Beijing's usual May Day exodus of millions of travellers to and from the countryside ground to a halt yesterday. Detailed studies of the complete DNA sequence of the virus - first recorded late last...

Discovering how to read the book of life
More than 350 biomedical advances - diagnostic tests, drugs, treatments and vaccines - have begun clinical trials since scientists began to "read" the instruction book of life that is the human genome.

Complete Dna Coding Opens New Ways to Beat Malaria
In a dramatic step against one of the world's deadliest diseases, geneticists today publish the complete DNA codes of both the malaria parasite and its carrier, the malaria mosquito. The genetic research offers new ways to hit the world's most dangerous insect, and stop its parasite at...

GM Genes Found in Human Gut
British scientific researchers have demonstrated for the first time that genetically modified DNA material from crops is finding its way into human gut bacteria, raising potentially serious health questions.

Old Age 'methuselah Gene' Discovered
Scientists have pinpointed the Methuselah gene - a stretch of DNA that confers healthy old age on men and women - raising the prospect that researchers may one day be able to create drugs that extend human life. 'There is no reason why we cannot do this,' said Kari Stefansson, chief...
