By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. Along the way, TIDE is showing how careful, systematic science at scale can quickly home in on promising drug targets.

I was ‘pre-med’ and got really interested in the science and especially the integration of chemistry and art. I struggled with going to graduate school in art conservation science, ie, the science of art, or more general chemistry, and I decided to do chemistry because it had broader opportunities.

And what they found, remarkably, is the world’s largest genome ; each fern cell contains 160.45 billion bases of DNA which, if unfurled, would extend for more than 100 meters—taller than the Statue of Liberty. billion bases of DNA, the human genome measures just 2 meters in length when stretched end-to-end.

Collecting the Numbers We can easily measure some things in biology yet struggle to measure others. Thanks to decades of progress in molecular sequencing technologies, it is simple to read out the order of nucleotides in a DNA sequence, for example, or to quantify messenger RNAs as they are made by a cell.

Basic Science *No evidence for a common blood microbiome based on a population study of 9,770 healthy humans. But now, by studying DNA extracted from microbes in the blood of almost 10,000 healthy people, this paper shows that there is no such thing. Read Transcription factors bind to DNA and control gene expression.

. “The problem is that cells only make small amounts of p53 and then quickly break it down as it is a very large and disordered protein,” says the study’s last author Michael Landreh, researcher at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet.
