The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how genome sequencing can be used to track the evolution of disease-causing microbes. By reading the genetic sequence of thousands of virus samples, scientists could track the smallest changes in the genetic code and link these to different variants’ abilities to cause infection or evade vaccines 🧬 Now, in a study published in The Lancet Microbe journal, genome sequencing has been used to study another deadly disease, typhoid fever, and how it’s starting to overcome our defences against it ⤵️ #GenomeSequencing #PublicHealth #TyphoidFever https://buff.ly/49BLXbR

💡While both genetic and hereditary diseases are determined by mutations in our DNA, not all genetic diseases are transmitted down the family line. Only those that are transmitted from generation to generation are hereditary. Follow this article from the Veritas Intercontinental blog, which explains the basics about the difference between a genetic and hereditary disease. https://hubs.ly/Q022H5_00

APDS is a rare, progressive primary immunodeficiency (PI) that occurs when there is a variant in one of two genes that are needed for the development and function of immune cells. As a genetic disease, there is a chance that APDS can be passed down to children of people who have APDS. Hear more from Dr Nicholas Hartog as he explains how APDS is inherited and the role that genes play in the development of this genetic condition.

The study introduces a new method, tARC-seq, to accurately identify mutation frequency and types in SARS-CoV-2. It reveals that RNA replication errors contribute to the virus's evolution, highlighting hotspots and cold spots in the genome. The findings provide valuable insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of the virus. 🧬🦠 #SARSCoV2 #GeneticDiversity #EvolutionaryDynamics

Researchers report that ancient viruses may be to thank for myelin -- and, by extension, our large, complex brains. The team found that a retrovirus-derived genetic element or "retrotransposon" is essential for myelin production in mammals, amphibians, and fish. The gene sequence, which they dubbed "RetroMyelin," is likely a result of ancient viral infection, and comparisons of RetroMyelin in mammals, amphibians, and fish suggest that retroviral infection and genome-invasion events occurred separately in each of these groups. sources: https://lnkd.in/dfMyCtUk https://lnkd.in/d43kNbps

Here are a few reasons why Genetic testing is really important: 👀Early Detection and Prevention: Genetic testing enables early identification of genetic mutations associated with eye diseases, allowing for preventive measures to minimize disease progression. 👀Personalized Treatment Approaches: Genetic information detected allows for treatment plans to be created. This can improve patient outcomes by targeting specific genetic mutations. 👀Risk Assessment and Family Planning: Genetic testing helps assess individual risk for developing eye diseases and informs family planning decisions. 👀Precision Medicine and Research: Advances in genetic testing drive precision medicine, facilitating the development of therapies and pushing research efforts to treat untreatable eye conditions. #genetics #testing #corneal #inherit #eyehealth
