doi: 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/goodsell-gallery-048 The Virus that Cures It’s been over 25 years since the science magazine Discover first ran an extraordinary article about how a long-forgotten medical treatment, used in the former Soviet country of Georgia, could save us from the growing threat of untreatable, drug-resistant infections.

This week: A way to measure a transgene’s expression in the brain using ultrasound, a DNA sequencing method that uses 1000x less reagents, and base editors get even smaller. An engineered version of this protein can convert DNA bases with efficiencies up to 92%. so this Digest will be published more irregularly.

DNA sequences are designed on a computer, and it takes a dozen or more clicks to change a single nucleotide. DNA sequences are also checked by hand, so it’s easy to make a mistake. The tool outputs a DNA sequence that encodes all the required enzymes. Anyone who has tried to engineer a cell knows how tedious it can be.

In the case of semaglutide, those cells are Saccharomyces cerevisiae— also known as Baker’s yeast — engineered to secrete a peptide precursor that is later purified, chemically modified, packaged into an injectable or tablet form, and then shipped around the world. Continuing this method may not scale.
