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 ...

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.

MyHeritage, the leading global platform for family history and DNA testing, announced today a landmark move to Whole Genome Sequencing for its at-home DNA test, MyHeritage DNA. Leveraging cutting-edge ...

One of the most revolutionary tools in cutting-edge medicine is a molecular scalpel so precise that it can modify defective ...

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Genetics have been a big topic of mass discussion ever since the first Jurassic Park movie. But that was fiction. At Hawaiʻi’s John A. Burns School of Medicine, a research team is ...
