Preserving DNA in biological samples has long posed a challenge for researchers, but the process may be about to get a lot ...

MetaGraph compresses vast data archives into a search engine for scientists, opening up new frontiers of biological discovery ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ...

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 ...

CRISPR-based tools can’t easily access the DNA in these organelles, but researchers are finding other ways in.

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.

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...

Researchers have cracked the code behind how plants make mitraphylline, a rare cancer-fighting molecule. Their discovery of ...

The team genetically engineered fruit flies to make naked mole rat cGAS and found that they lived 70 days—10 days longer than ...
