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

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.

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...

What scientists once dismissed as junk DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new international study reveals that ancient viral DNA buried in our genes plays an active ...

One person’s junk is another’s treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of “junk” DNA in the human genome that were previously written off as having no useful function are ...

DNA sequencing is an emerging frontier of medicine that could transform medical care as we know it. Dr. Celia Egan shares ...
