China's oppression of Tibet is not hidden from anyone and the communist nation is now carrying out mass DNA testing to create a biological database of people to monitor them.

The Delhi High Court has allowed a 16-year-old pregnant rape survivor to terminate her 28-week pregnancy at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), which has been directed to preserve the foetus for DNA testing.

In a press conference earlier today, Congress spokespersons said it was "unfortunate" that the senior leader had resigned in such fashion at a time when the party is gearing up for massive nationwide mobilisation against the ruling BJP.

Scientists have taken stem cells from a living species with similar DNA and turned the into thylacine cells.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's daughter Anita Bose Pfaff has said time has come to bring back his remains to India and suggested that DNA testing can provide answers to those still having doubts about his death on August 18, 1945.

Scientists had attributed the fall of several ancient civilizations including the Akkadian Empire, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, to factors like climate change and shifting allegiances. However, a new study proposes that this could be due to some extinct pathogens.

Researchers at the Delft University of Technology have developed the smallest ever flow-driven motor from DNA that utilises electrical or salt gradients to generate mechanical energy. For the construction of the motor, the team has used a technique called DNA origami which uses specific interactions between complementary DNA pairs to build 2D and 3...

The Bombay High Court has ruled that a DNA test cannot be said to be the "conclusive evidence" in a rape case, and can only be used for the purpose of corroboration.

Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new set of chemical reactions that can produce the building blocks of life. They have found a set of chemical reactions that can produce amino acids and nucleic acids — the building blocks of proteins and DNA — by using cyanide, ammonia, and carbon dioxide.

Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have successfully developed a molecular electric motor made of genetic material that can convert electric energy into kinetic energy. The team used the DNA origami method to create the nanomotors which can self-assemble and whose motion can be controlled.

The burglar was arrested 19 days after committing the crime, Global Times said in its report. The police were also able to find out that the man has been linked to three other theft cases.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to order DNA testing of a child born to a minor after she was allegedly raped, saying the identity of the child's father is irrelevant to the case.

An international team of researchers have spotted traces of an organic class of molecules at the centre of the Milky Way which are precursor to molecules essential for life. It is believed that originally life was based on only RNA (ribonucleic acid) on Earth while DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and protein enzymes evolved later. RNA is capable of per...

Facebook parent Meta Platforms has appointed Guy Rosen, a company vice president as chief information security officer (CISO). He will be the first person to fill that role at the social media company.

A team of researchers at the University of Utah Health have discovered a soft coral that releases the cancer-treating chemical, eleutherobin. The DNA of these flexible corals can be studied to understand how it releases the chemical.
