The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated over and over, become longer and more unstable as we age. The study found ...

In a new study published May 30 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of Cornell researchers used canine DNA to uncover more than 15 genes linked to gastric cancer.
