In a major advance for biotechnology and bioinformatics, researchers from ETH Zurich have developed MetaGraph, a search ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

ETH Zurich scientists have developed MetaGraph, a DNA search engine that can scan vast genomic databases in seconds. By ...

When scientists want to trace how a species has changed over time—and predict its prospects for survival—they turn to DNA. But what if the genetic map guiding them belongs to the wrong animal? A study ...

Scientists in Tokyo have uncovered “Inocles,” massive strands of extrachromosomal DNA hidden inside bacteria in human mouths. These giants, overlooked by traditional sequencing, could explain how oral ...
