A recent study has found that the electricity produced by an electric eel’s discharge is strong enough to cause the transfer of genetic material from the environment into the cells of nearby animals. The finding suggests that electric eels – and other … Continue reading Electric eel’s zap can transfer genes to nearby animals, study finds
Daily finger-prick blood tests are an uncomfortable fact of life for diabetics, but they may not always have to be. Scientists from Canada and the US have now developed a prototype home-use device that measures blood glucose levels via saliva samples.C… Continue reading At-home saliva testing could replace daily finger-jabs for diabetics
It’s well documented that vitamin B12, or cobalamin, helps red blood cells form and facilitates DNA synthesis that protects genetic mutations in our cells. It is also crucial in the development and ongoing function of our brain and nerve cells. Now, sc… Continue reading Vitamin B12 helps reprogram cells to heal tissue & fight chronic disease
Researchers have discovered how a metabolite involved in repairing damaged DNA not only controls a person’s sensitivity to cancer therapies but can also protect healthy tissues from damage. The findings may lead to more effective treatments for cancer…. Continue reading DNA-repairing metabolite may lead to improved cancer treatments
Lending new meaning to the phrase ‘cat burglar’, a single feline hair left at a crime scene can be traced back to an individual animal through a new method that can highlight a unique, rare genetic ‘fingerprint’.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: U… Continue reading New DNA tech uses a single cat hair to hone in on crime suspects
Ahoy! There’s trouble in the South China Seas as Filipino organisations fail to secure their systems, we take a close look at Google IP protection, and we take a look at just how so much genetic profile data leaked out of 23andMe.
All this and much … Continue reading Smashing Security podcast #345: Cyber sloppiness, and why does Google really want to hide your IP address?
Golem, the hacker who leaked the data of one million Ashkenazi Jews from the 23andMe ancestry service earlier this month has now released 4.1 million more genetic data profiles.
The hacker claims they’ve included details of “the wealthiest people li… Continue reading Millions of new 23andMe genetic data profiles leak on cybercrime forum
Scientists have developed a way to “paint” with DNA, creating 16 million colors to accurately reproduce digital images with 24-bit color depth. The resulting images are incredible, and represent not just a new art form but potential advances for storin… Continue reading DNA art reproduces photos in high resolution and 16 million colors

When doctors want to see if someone has a certain illness, they may check the patient’s blood or urine for the DNA of a specific virus or bacteria, or for a mutated version of the person’s own DNA. A new device should make doing so much, much faster an… Continue reading Radical DNA-detecting device is 100 times more sensitive than others
