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.

The complex sugar molecules that festoon our cells are often treated as little more than biological decoration. A new study suggests they hold hidden patterns—distinct signatures that can separate one ...

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 ...
