by Sanjana Kulkarnifigures by Swathy Karamchedu Forensic DNA testing has become crucial in criminal investigations and legal proceedings. DNA has linked people to crime scenes using hair or blood and exonerated wrongfully convicted individuals. This type of DNA is called environmental DNA (eDNA) because it is collected from the environment, rather than from a person. Scientists have also begun analyzing eDNA from non-human organisms. All … Continue reading DNA Detectives: How scientists are using DNA from the environment to see the unseen
Losing a tail on human’s evolutionary branch may have been caused by a rare kind of mutation resulting from parasitic, self-replicating DNA. Continue reading Researchers discover a unique mutation involved in how humans lost their tails

by Emma Dolenfigures by Allie Elchert Imagine a dystopia where a person with diabetes needs to drive a few hours every day to get their insulin at a special insulin clinic. Let’s pretend that they only need insulin once a day. They set their alarm for bright and early and get in the car to travel to the clinic before it closes for the day … Continue reading Access Denied: Opioid Medication-Assisted Treatment and the Urgent Call for Change in Opioid Recovery
New markers for dementia risk could pave the way for the development of blood-based methods for diagnosing and screening for dementia. This provides an opportunity to identify and diagnose at-risk populations earlier. Continue reading New blood-based markers for dementia risk identified
