Two news about DNA structure.

1. Juanita Escobar Martínez
Medicine Student
“DNA is like a computer program but far, far more
advanced than any software ever created.”
― Bill Gates, The Road Ahead

4. DNA: genetic information.
Importance of manipulating
genes for new studies.
Genetic Therapy.
Complex structure: 3 components
with 3 characteristics.

5. “New approach to
identify genes poised
to respond in asthma
patients”
Science Daily
(July 8, 2014)
“Genetic code is a divine writing.”
― Toba Beta, Betelgeuse Incident

6. “New approach to identify genes poised to respond

Genomic neighborhoods
The division of the genome by
regions, facilitates the gene
production because we can have
markers that reproduced one in
his “neighborhood” instead of
doing it in other parts of the
genome, evitating some
mutations.

7. “New approach to identify genes poised to respond

Protective memory cells
In asthma is very important the
inmunogenic cells because some
of them has memory and with
the gene manipulation you can
inducce turning on an answer
that you have done sometime.

8. “New approach to identify genes poised to respond
in asthma patients”
Asthma causes
With the «neighborhoods»
technique, there will be easier
to find cells that carry the
disease, in this case asthma. In
the future, scientists could use
this technique to find cures for
other diseases.

9. Asthma disease
This kind of findings are very important for the evolution of cell’s
knowledge, because day by day scientist are clustering cell’s parts
for watching how they interact for a possible cure for a disease.

10. “New technique maps
life's effects on our
DNA: Powerful single-
cell technique to
study environmental
effects on DNA”
Science Daily
(July 20, 2014)
“Volumes of history written in the ancient alphabet of G and C, A and T.”
― Sy Montgomery, Search for the Golden Moon Bear: Science and
Adventure in Southeast Asia

11. “New technique maps life's effects on our DNA: Powerful
single-cell technique to study environmental effects on
DNA”
DNA methylation
We born with one specific
genome but as we grow up, our
genes get exposed to
enviromental effects and that
modifies it. Studying this
changes is usefull for therapies.

12. “New technique maps life's effects on our DNA: Powerful
single-cell technique to study environmental effects on
DNA”
Single cell study
There are some markers that
indicates where the epigenitc
modification is, and amplifying
it and reading it, we can
localizate the damage and
repair it. It will be usefull more
tecnological equipement for
facilitated this techniques.

13. “New technique maps life's effects on our DNA: Powerful
single-cell technique to study environmental effects on
DNA”
DNA mapping
This new techniques make us
able to analize how the genes
change with the pass of the
years and conclude that this
modifications occur in controled
genes.

14. Cancer cells
This new method improves the way of analizing epigenetic marks,
because they use one specific cell that might be the one who will
be the cause of a future disease.

15. “The greatest single achievement of nature to date was surely
the invention of the molecule DNA.”
― Lewis Thomas.

16. “New approach to identify genes poised to respond
in asthma patients”
Nowadays, we don’t simply study genes, we modified it. This allows
us having new targets for cure of diseases like cancer and asthma.
However with the time, this kind of techniques will help us to find
the therapy for other diseases. Making our genome more protective
and giving us a better quality of life.

17. “New technique maps life's effects on our DNA: Powerful single-cell
technique to study environmental effects on DNA”
If we have this techniques that allow us localizate genome markers,
we could repaired our genes and make cells more resistant to
enviromental effects and cure genetical diseases since early
development, so we could live more.

18. In the past, scientists searched for cures that came from outside of
human body, now they realized that more effective ones come from
inside us: our DNA it’s the best cure. Working with DNA, help us curing
many diseases since the early development, like cancer or asthma,
diseases that came from our parents: genetic diseases. But working
with it, also help us curing diseases caused by the environment and
bringing the opportunity to start a family, with fertility treatments.
However, it is important to continue with the investigations about this
discovery, so we can improve the cures and our quality of life.
