They diagnose the disease of a man who died 700 years ago

A group of European researchers has managed to recover the genome of a pathogenic bacterium, 'Brucella melitensis', from a 700-year-old skeleton.

They reduce the human genome to 19,000 genes

A team of researchers led by the National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) has reduced the total figure that makes up the human genome by 1,700 genes, thus obtaining that our genome is finally made up of 19,000 genes. To do this, they carried out state-of-the-art bioinformatics and genetic analyzes, as well as the use of data from seven previous mass spectrometry studies, the most powerful tool for detecting molecules, in this case proteins from more than 50 tissues. humans.
