Study will influence the global elimination strategy for yaws Genome sequencing has shed light on the re-emergence of the bacterium that causes yaws, a neglected tropical disease of the skin, bones and joints. The re-emergence followed a mass drug administration (MDA) campaign that aimed to eliminate the disease in Papua New Guinea.

Since then, there has been an increasing body of findings that the microbiome, which is sometimes also referred to as the second human genome, is not only of central importance for digestion, but also influences, if not controls, at least a large number of body functions. The immune system is mentioned particularly frequently.

From isolating SARS-CoV-2 in early January to sequencing its genome shortly thereafter and having a prototype vaccine against it within days, scientific process and progress have held steadfast throughout the pandemic. CRISPR are found in approximately 50 percent of sequenced bacterial genomes and nearly 90 percent of archaea genomes.

A growing example of why collective efforts are needed is the rise in infections from Pseudomonas aeruginosa — a multi-drug-resistant bacterium. Machine learning tools are transforming genome mining, allowing AI to identify antimicrobial compounds, like biosynthetic gene clusters, and predict resistance patterns early.
