The next phase of study involving the newly discovered gene mutations will investigate their function
using human blood samples at the molecular level.
They have been found consistently in wildlife and
in human blood samples during biomonitoring tests including those conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
We report unbiased metagenomic detection of chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Ebola virus (EBOV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) from four
human blood samples by MinION nanopore sequencing coupled to a newly developed, web - based pipeline for real - time bioinformatics analysis on a computational server or laptop (MetaPORE).
Last year, Szyf and researchers from Yale University published another study
of human blood samples, comparing 14 children raised in Russian orphanages with 14 other Russian children raised by their biological parents.
Studies of
modified human blood samples showed that a component of the innate immune system called the complement system is pivotal to killing ST258.
When this idea was tested
on human blood samples, the researchers found that subjects who suffered from depression had unusually low miR135 levels in their blood.
Researchers in Mathies's group, working with George Sensabaugh, a forensics expert at Berkeley, have shown that the miniaturised process can be used to type DNA
from human blood samples.
Variation in expression levels of these genes was also observed
in human blood samples, though the variation was in opposite phase of the mouse studies.
