Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. But the bacteria can sometimes change their behavior and enter the bloodstream, causing chronic localized infections to become acute and potentially fatal. aeruginosa infections.

We are talking about the microbiome – the vast collection of bacteria in the human gut. The microbiome has been the focus of research for 20 years – ever since a new technique made it possible to analyse these bacteria quickly and precisely: high-throughput sequencing. The immune system is mentioned particularly frequently.

Much of the fundamental groundwork for genetics and genomic research was laid in the 20 th century, with significant contributions from women scientists, some of whom worked during times when acceptance of female researchers was not widespread. The marriage ended in divorce after a few short years.

After being identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei in China, medical officials and scientists got to work to isolate and identify the novel virus that they observed to be causing a new respiratory illness. By re-tooling it, they were able to develop CRISPR/Cas9, a precision gene editing technology that can be used in any living organism.

It’s because certain genes act one way on some people… and another way on other people. Putting this in medical jargon, the gene ‘expresses’ one way with Bob, for example, and a completely different way with Mary. How a gene expresses – that is, how the gene affects you – goes on to determine whether you get ill or not.
