By combining their DNA, wolves and coyotes have given rise to an animal that is able to spread into a vast and otherwise uninhabitable territory. Coywolves now live in large cities, like Boston, Washington and New York.

Scientists have stored all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets on tiny stretches of synthesized DNA. Large companies might one day keep DNA storage rather than maintain and update roomfuls of hard drives.
Your wallet is a portable petri dish. Each bill carries about 3,000 types of bacteria on its surface, mostly harmless. But your cash also has DNA from drug-resistant microbes, and maybe even smudges of anthrax and diphtheria!

When you kiss your partner passionately, not only do you exchange bacteria and mucus, you also impart some of your DNA. No matter how fleeting the encounter, the DNA will hang around in their mouth for at least an hour.

New DNA tests of minute amounts of blood left at a crime scene can now allow police to predict, with a high degree of accuracy, the age of the perpetrator.

The 1000 Genomes Project aims to sequence and compare the DNA of 2,500 individuals from across the world. Initial findings may offer new insights into disease or lead to new treatments.
The Black Death, a highly virulent bacterium that decimated the population of Western Europe in the 14th century, has been reconstructed by DNA collected in mass graves.
