In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...

The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make.This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

A new tool developed at, MetaGraph, allows scientists to search through vast public DNA and RNA databases in seconds — like a ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

ETH Zurich scientists have created “MetaGraph,” a revolutionary DNA search engine that functions like Google for genetic data. By compressing global genomic datasets by a factor of 300, it allows ...

People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it lingers and causes harm, others say that idea just doesn’t hold up. A new ...

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 ...
