We are talking about the microbiome – the vast collection of bacteria in the human gut. The microbiome has been the focus of research for 20 years – ever since a new technique made it possible to analyse these bacteria quickly and precisely: high-throughput sequencing. The immune system is mentioned particularly frequently.

Expanding upon the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, researchers at MIT have designed a new technique called PASTE gene editing that can cut out defective genes and replace them with new genes in a safer and more efficient way. The PASTE gene editing technique was recently published in Nature Biotechnology.

The immune system typically identifies foreign entities such as bacteria and viruses and activates lymphocytes such as T cells to destroy them with overwhelming force. Cells from solid tumours are genetically heterogeneous both between and within tumours, making it challenging to identify a single, selective antigen target for treatment.

Last week geneticist Dr Charles Steward shared with us his experiences of searching for a genetic cause for his children’s rare neurological diseases. While there may be just under 20,000 confirmed protein coding genes, it turns out that much of the genome outside of these genes is also important in regulating how the genome is controlled.
