Kaspar Hauser was 99.9994 percent not a prince

New DNA analyses spark controversy over origins

12-Aug-2024 - The identity and origins of Kaspar Hauser have been the subject of research and debate for almost 200 years. In addition to the opinion that he was merely a more or less pathological liar and deceiver, the most enduring theory is that he was the hereditary prince of Baden, born on September 29, ...

Fishing for DNA to measure biodiversity

Identifying the fish species present in a river based on traces of their DNA: this method has been successfully tested at about 90 sites in Switzerland

07-Dec-2023 - As they swim around, fish leave DNA fragments behind them, e.g. via their skin or their excrements. Once collected and analysed, these indicators allow scientists to determine all the species present in the environment. What's more, the method is precise, simpler and less harmful to the fish than ...

Detecting a vast diversity of rainforest animals by swabbing their DNA from leaves

Monitoring wildlife species present in specific areas is a critical first step to estimating the risk of transmission of infectious diseases to humans

23-Aug-2023 - In a new study, an international research team shows that the very cotton buds, which we all got to know so intimately during the COVID-19 pandemic, are a valuable tool to map biodiversity. This was the result of an international research team led by scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for One ...

Extreme DNA resolution: Researchers slow down and scan multiple times individual DNA molecules

Researchers have achieved near-perfect control over the manipulation of individual molecules, allowing them to be identified and characterized with unprecedented precision

30-Jun-2023 - Aleksandra Radenovic, head of theLaboratory of Nanoscale Biologyin the School of Engineering, has worked for years to improve nanopore technology, which involves passing a molecule like DNA through a tiny pore in a membrane to measure an ionic current. Scientists can determine DNA’s sequence of ...

DNA analysis reveals risk of post-meal insulin resistance

Targeted intervention may be possible

14-Jun-2023 - Scientists from the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH), along with colleagues from the United Kingdom, have found clues as to how we maintain constant blood sugar levels after we have eaten. Analyzing the DNA of nearly 55,000 participants from different studies, they identified ten ...

Beethoven’s genome: New study reveals hereditary diseases and a family mystery

Scientists have sequenced the composer’s genome using five genetically matching hair locks

24-Mar-2023 - The study shows Beethoven was predisposed to liver disease, and infected with Hepatitis B, which – combined with his alcohol consumption – may have contributed to his death. Furthermore, DNA from modern relatives points to an extramarital ‘event’ in Beethoven’s paternal line. Johannes Krause, ...

Discovery of world’s oldest DNA breaks record by one million years

Two-million-year-old DNA has been identified for the first time - opening a ‘game-changing’ new chapter in the history of evolution

16-Dec-2022 - Microscopic fragments of environmental DNA were found in Ice Age sediment in northern Greenland. Using cutting-edge technology, researchers discovered the fragments are one million years older than the previous record for DNA sampled from a Siberian mammoth bone. The ancient DNA has been used to ...

1 million-year-old marine DNA found in Antarctic sediment

New technique helps decipher ‘who’ has lived in the ocean in the past and ‘when’

06-Oct-2022 - A new study led by the University of Tasmania – with the participation of the University of Bonn – discovered the oldest marine DNA in deep-sea sediments of the Scotia Sea north of the Antarctic continent. The material could be dated to one million years. Such old material demonstrates that ...
