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 ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein fragments called dipeptides. By analyzing billions of dipeptide sequences ...

Scientists have found a direct link between osteoporosis and rotator cuff tears, two conditions that often develop with age.

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

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? Subscribe ...

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...

Researchers work in a mobile Fire-Eye laboratory in Beijing in June 2020. The labs can identify coronavirus infections, as well as decipher and analyze human DNA. (Fu ...

A judge in New York rejected a request on 23 September to disqualify the use of cutting-edge DNA sequencing as evidence in a case against an alleged serial killer. The ruling paves the way for a type ...

Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) are among the most common cardiac arrhythmias encountered across the lifespan, ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...
