Gene information told the researchers which microbe species were present in each layer, how closely they were related to each other and what they could potentially be doing.
It is called the bacterial equivalent of sex, because it is usually used to
exchange gene information between Gram negative bacteria.
The data are already being used to
improve gene information and expression on VectorBase, a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases resource center for the scientific community.
But
associating gene information with related genomic results is a constant challenge, especially when the data are appearing faster than we can manage them.
Their findings, reported online in Nature Neuroscience, demonstrate that ALS patients show abnormalities in levels and processing of ribonucleic acids (RNA), biological molecules that determine
what gene information is used to guide protein synthesis.
Mahlon Hoagland, who contributed two seminal discoveries to the field
of gene information flow, died on Sept. 18, 2009, at his home in Thetford, Vt., three weeks before his 88th birthday.
It teaches how you can turn your good genes on and your bad genes off via a healthy mix of science and
gene information, together with simple assessment tools and powerful lifestyle changes.
