Cats are beloved family members in tens of millions of households, but we know surprisingly little about their genes.

A first-ever analysis of the whole Greenland shark genome gives researchers a couple of clues to their longevity.

Scientists analyzed the lengths of regions of Neanderthal DNA in 58 ancient ... of aurochs -- the animals that were the focus of some of the most iconic early human art -- by analyzing 38 genomes ...

This groundbreaking finding suggests that Telomir-1 may selectively benefit healthy cells while suppressing malignant growth, challenging the assumption that telomere-elongating drugs inherently ...

So even DNA underestimated the number of animals killed by cats. "The DNA is good, but it's not infallible, and a lot of that is because we're trying to get DNA from cat saliva found on the ...
