Scientists create Log of Plan virus detection cells

The Panel Genome-Writing Project (GP-write) on Tuesday announced that they will develop a “big project at Community level” are planning for launching cells that are resistant to viruses, and cells that force resistant to radiation , freezing, aging and cancer. It ‘the first step, he says, to “ultra-safe cell” to produce at will. “Could ultra-safe cells have a strong impact on human health,” said George Church, a geneticist at Harvard Medical School and one of four members of the Leadership Group GP write, in a statement. GP-write will be a working meeting on Tuesday in Boston. “There are very strong reasons to believe that we are able to produce cells that would be completely resistant to all known viruses,” Jef Boeke, director of the Institute for Genetics systems at NYU Langone Medical Center and one of the leading GP write STAT said, “it should also be possible to build other properties, including resistance to prion and cancer” even more: the first phase of the ambitious objective of the project How Gene Editing could save coral reefs recoding the human genome is to make virus resistant – making every genome, including the human genome, in a laboratory. The effort has won a boost with a new partner, a biopharmaceutical company Cellectis, the church laboratory with its virus-targeting technology will make the provision TALEN based on genome-editing tool, which is very precise changes to DNA. The group plans to create the genes of the virus-resistant re-encoding DNA. In essence, it is a way to confuse viruses so that they do not read the human genome and to use that mimic the human genes help virus. Human DNA is read ‘in groups of three letters (DNA consisting of A, C, G and T) is known as codon and each codon encoding an amino acid. Strings of amino acids make up proteins. There is redundancy in the system so different three-letter codons may encode the same amino acid. Human genome recoding to eliminate this redundancy, so that only one codon encoding an amino acid, in particular the virus strains and prevents reproduction. Already Church has shown this approach by testing the genetic changes in bacteria E. coli is possible; after making 321 changes to the genome of the bacteria, the microbes were resistant to certain viruses. The creation of such a resistance in human cells, however, be a lot more difficult. “Each protein in the human genome recoding … 400,000 require changes,” Church said in the statement. Several institutions are to participate in the project plan, could have a significant impact on health. In the statement, the researchers cite the fact that viruses can often contaminate drugs while they are made to be, resulting in large financial losses for pharmaceutical companies. “The ultra-safe cells could therefore safer drugs, cheaper and more reliable to do,” says Church. GP write leaders say they hope that their project completed within 10 years.
