NPR's Juana Summers talks with Science correspondent Richard Stone about recent developments in the search for Leonardo da Vinci's DNA.

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing how genome structure changes from cell to cell and over time.

A genetic genealogy expert says one DNA entry narrowed the investigation into David Zimbrick's alleged connections to two sexual assault cold cases involving children in Lawrence.
