Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Codon

Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.

Malaria unravelled: decoding the parasite’s gene expression control

Drug Target Review

The first identification was based on a bioinformatic analysis. The ApSIGMA gene product, an apicoplast RNA polymerase sigma factor ApSig, is imported into the apicoplast after the translation in the parasite cytosol and activates transcription from the apicoplast genome.

A quiet revolution in the world of proteomics

DrugBaron

For example, it is well known that glycation of haemoglobin through non-enzymatic reaction with glucose to generate a product known as Hba1c is a useful measure of glycemic control in diabetic subjects. This can be useful to quantify protein adducts (for example when radiolabelling a protein or preparing antigens for vaccine production).

Monkey Embryos Grow to 25 Days — No Womb Required

Codon

3/ Prime Editing Spree Prime editors can change DNA in ways that Cas9 — and even base editors — cannot. Known as a "search-and-replace" gene-editing tool, prime editors can delete or replace DNA up to 10,000 bases in length, or substitute one base for another. Read more in Cell.
