genes with relatively little useless DNA in the way.
While no one had yet
sequenced the
full complement of human
genes, researchers knew a thing or two about how
genes could go awry.
Targeted
gene therapies, however, had to wait for (1) the identification of the
genes to target, (2) the cloning and / or
sequencing of the relevant
genes and in some cases, the specific disease - causing variant, (3) a
full understanding of the normal
gene function and regulation, and (4) the development of efficient ways to deliver
genes to the relevant tissues at therapeutic levels.
The advent of RNA - seq technology, in conjunction with
full genome
sequencing, provides a method for the unbiased characterization of
genes regulated by infection in almost any species that can be manipulated in the laboratory.

sequencing platform.
Future studies, including data from larger sample sizes of wild - born and geographically well - defined individuals, and
