Leveling the Field in Ancient DNA Research

Some stories of history are written in ink, and others are written in nucleotide bases. Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis – the study of DNA from archaeological or paleontological specimens – is perhaps the closest scientists will ever come to a time machine – a window into the past. In this feature article, we explore how inclusion and representation are critical considerations when we look through that window.

Can Our Lifestyle Choices Biologically Impact Our Grandkids?

For years, it was understood that only traits or characteristics encoded in our DNA sequence could be transmitted to our offspring. Now, a growing field of research suggests that the mechanisms by which our genes are regulated can also be passed down, perhaps even to our grandkids.
