DNA Modification Through Bacteria

Advances in computer science supporting scientists to make new breakthroughs. This time, scientists managed to find a way to change human DNA using bacteria.

This finding does not rule out the possibility that in the future, people can have the ability to "extraordinary" related immune system and healing in medicine. As reported by the Examiner, the mechanisms used in connection with bacterial defense system which uses enzymes to make changes to the cell's DNA. 

Researchers then reprogram this enzyme and DNA testing in mammals. Researchers then compared the bacterial system called CRISPR, and randomly insert genes that have been modified. Researchers found that the bacterial system showed good results tebih significantly.

Although this is still applied in a limited capacity. However, this is an important step in harnessing the ability to alter DNA. The website ArsTechnica reported, these findings could be useful to support the study of mutations in genes with a more natural structure of the protein. Of course this is a long-term study is expected to be used for the treatment of genetic disorders. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | EXAMINER | RIF | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 14022013]
