A new tool developed at ETH Zurich, MetaGraph, allows scientists to search through vast public DNA and RNA databases in seconds — like a “Google for DNA.” DNA sequencing has transformed biomedical ...
One of the most revolutionary tools in cutting-edge medicine is a molecular scalpel so precise that it can modify defective ...
Mikhail Karasikov and his colleagues at ETH Zurich worked on MetaGraph, a search engine designed for genomic databases containing massive troves of DNA and RNA sequences.
In a "20/20" special report, David Muir weaves together two decades-long probes. In 1988, 19-year-old Cathy Swartz was a young mother living with her fiancé Mike Warner and her 9-month-old baby ...
In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
As many DNA datasets are openly accessible online, the study warns it is possible for cybercriminals to misuse the information for surveillance, manipulation, or malicious experimentation. Dr Anjum ...
In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
A team of researchers designs a ChatGPT that 'speaks in DNA', capable of creating new species that do not exist in nature and ...
Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...
The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...
