DNA of someone who died in 1827, restored without his remains
recreate the DNA of a deceased person or animal, usually requires extraction of the DNA from the remains. A new study shows that this is not the only way. DNA of a man who died about 200 years ago, was restored from his living des...
The study explained how alcohol damages DNA and increases cancer risk
the fact that it increases the risk of human cancer diseases, well known to scientists for several decades. But how exactly does alcoholic beverages lead to this – a clear answer science gave. A new study conducted by the Universi...
Created the first semi-synthetic bacteria with synthetic DNA
All biological life on planet Earth is based on four nucleic acid (nitrogenous) bases of DNA: A, T, C and G (adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine). But what if man will be able to create a new artificial nucleic acid bases and s...
10 incredible stunts that scientists have done DNA
the World DNA is literally a rabbit hole. Each step leads us to new and even frightening discoveries. The more scientists study and hone these molecules of life, the "curiouser and curiouser" become scientific moves. The boundarie...
Microsoft recorded in the DNA of the song Deep Purple
On the application of DNA as a storage medium say for a long time. There is even a quite successful development in this area. And it seems that this technology may indeed prove to be the future, as recently a group of scientists f...
Analysis which will predict the date of death of your heart
Many clinical studies allow us to predict the health status and suggest that person waits in the future. But not long ago, scientists from Johns Hopkins University released new data, according to which information encoded in mitoc...
A microscopic robot has been taught to sort DNA molecules
Nanobots capable of working inside the human body, are extremely promising development. They make a diagnosis, to monitor people's health and even cure diseases. But something new in this area invented by scientists from the Calif...
"Dark DNA" can change the way we think about evolution
DNA sequencing Technology is helping scientists find answers to the questions that tormented people for centuries. Charting the genomes of animals, we get a better idea of how the giraffe acquired its long neck and why snakes are ...
Malicious code written in the DNA that can infect computers
This was expected, since the moment when scientists upload digital information macromolecules of deoxyribonucleic acid. For the first time, researchers were able to infect the virus the computer, analyze the DNA, which had made th...
Study: at least 75% of our DNA is useless
at least three quarters of the human genome consists of non-functional "junk DNA", say the results of recent research scientists. With the discovery by Watson and Crick of the DNA double helix in 1953 among the scientific communit...
Scientists first recorded in the DNA cartoon
we All know that DNA is the carrier of genetic information. But can this structure to store information not only about our genome, but also any other? Numerous studies and experiments showed that it is indeed possible. And recentl...
Compiled the most complete map of human DNA
In the last century, the famous scientists James Watson and Francis Crick received one of the most prestigious awards the academic community Nobel prize "For discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and thei...
Represented a microchip that can separate DNA and purify the fragments
DNA Analysis involves not only the collection of material from living people, but in some other cases. For example, at the crime scene. And DNA typically requires that the procedure was carried out sekvenirovaniya, including separ...
Microsoft creates cloud-based storage system based on DNA
Research in the field of new media are now almost all large corporations. But the research group Microsoft Research went, I think, the farthest. Last year, the developers have stated that the storage of information. And according ...
As the first Australians came to the continent?
the skeletons of people and archeological discoveries in Australia you can trace the history up until 50,000 years before the trail will disappear. Up to this point, apparently, in Australia, people were not. How people got there ...
The operating system code recorded in the DNA molecule
In connection with the development of technology and the increasing amount of data, professionals are looking for new ways of storing information. And recently a group of scientists from Columbia University and the new York Genome...
Scientists have proven the ability to create computers based on DNA
Researchers led by Professor Ross king had developed a computing device on the basis of deoxyribonucleic acid. If taken as a programming language of life, why not create on its basis a computer that can perform calculations? If DN...
Some scholars categorically against the revival of extinct species
last month, the entire scientific community of the desire of Harvard scientists resurrect extinct species of animals. George Church from Harvard University, studying extinct species, said that in the coming years is going to resur...
Biologists at Harvard University have decided to resurrect mammoths in two years
fellow, Harvard biologist George Church, studying extinct species of animals, 2015 is Woolly Mammoth Revival project, which plans to resurrect the mammoth. The scientist stresses that it is more correct to call such an animal an e...
