Leprosy was widespread until the late Middle Ages. In the sixteenth century, the contagious disease disappeared almost entirely from Europe, even before antibiotics for medical treatment had been discovered. The genetic composition of the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae did not change considerably ...

Finger millet has two important properties: The grain is rich in important minerals and resistant towards drought and heat. Thanks to a novel combination of state-of-the-art technologies, researchers at the University of Zurich were able to decode the large and extremely complex genome of finger ...
Rare genetic disorders: new approach uses RNA in search for genetic triggers
14-Jun-2017
In about half of all patients with rare hereditary disorders, it is still unclear what exact position of the genome is responsible for their condition. One reason for this is the enormous quantity of information encoded in human genes. Scientists from the fields of informatics and medicine have ...
