Some scientists even think it had a virus defense system; “researchers say LUCA likely housed 19 CRISPR genes, which bacteria use to slice up viral threats,” reports Quanta Magazine. DNA and RNA molecules are also built from exclusively right-handed nucleic acids.

This led some to believe that the Black Death was caused by a different pathogen, perhaps anthrax or a virus like influenza or even Ebola. pestis DNA in the dental pulp of skeletons in various medieval burial sites across Europe, which corresponded to recorded outbreaks, including in cemeteries used exclusively for Black Death victims.

Short DNA strands were discovered that can specifically and tightly bind to zinc and cadmium ions. Perhaps there is now a way to use DNA to extract metals: You could fuse the DNA strands to an antibody, coat them onto electronics, and then use a column to isolate the DNA:metal compounds? coli DNA using a Retro-Cascorder.

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.

Influenza incidence and severity are increasing , against a backdrop of novel drifts (small genetic changes) and shifts (larger changes) to the virus, all against a backdrop of novel infection pathways, such as birds to cows to people. The mRNA in COVID vaccines tells cells to produce the virus’s spike protein.
