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 ...

In context: Thanks to improvements in DNA sequencing techniques, the number of public repositories containing genetic data is growing at a significant pace. Zurich researchers have been working on a ...

With global repositories now holding nearly 100 petabytes of genetic data, equivalent to the total text on the internet, traditional methods of downloading and analysing sequences have become slow and ...
