Recent studies — including molecular investigations of sperm and large IVF cohort analyses — indicate that as men age, their sperm accumulate DNA damage, mutations, and epigenetic changes. These ...

New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, ...

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

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.

A spider on the Canary Islands lost half its DNA but gained more genetic variety. Scientists say this changes how we ...

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 ...

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

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the fundamental blueprint of life, containing genetic instructions for traits and ...

Abstract: Genetic programming (GP) and fuzzy logic are used to automatically segment mammography images. GP allows the evolution of optimized segmentation models, guided by a fuzzy logic-based fitness ...

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 ...

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