Second Genome Sponsors American Gut Initiative to Identify Links Between Type 2 Diabetes and the Human Microbiome
Posted: January 7, 2013 at 3:47 pm
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Second Genome announced today an initiative with the American Gut project to explore the connection between the human microbiome and type 2 diabetes. The cooperation will bring together American Gut's broad citizen science network for microbiome sample collection with Second Genome's efforts in identifying microbiome modulators and novel therapeutics. Second Genome has made an undisclosed donation to American Gut to subsidize specimen collection for participants with type 2 diabetes.
It is believed that the human microbiome plays an important role in the maintenance of good health, and that alterations to the balance of these microbial populations may have a negative impact on immunity and metabolism. American Gut has built the world's largest open-source, community driven effort to characterize the microbiomes of everyday people in order to understand the connections between environmental factors and microbiome changes.
"By working with the American Gut project and its preeminent group of microbiome scientists, we have the opportunity to accelerate the clinical impact of this citizen science effort to build the world's leading reference dataset of microbiomes," said Peter DiLaura, President and CEO of Second Genome. "Second Genome is focusing on patients with type 2 diabetes as one part of its effort to translate microbiome science into the discovery and development of microbiome modulators with therapeutic potential."
"Second Genome brings a special focus on tackling specific clinical questions, including the impact that changes in the human microbiome have in patients with type 2 diabetes," said Dr. Rob Knight, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at University of Colorado - Boulder and project lead for American Gut. "We are pleased to partner in this way with Second Genome and look forward to exciting new discoveries from this research."
About Second Genome
Second Genome brings microbiome science to the discovery and development of therapeutic products. The company has established a pipeline of microbiome modulators that impact infection, immunity and metabolic diseases. Second Genome's development pipeline is fueled by novel technologies for identifying, screening and scientifically validating product candidates and microbial biomarkers. Second Genome's technologies have been rigorously validated through partnerships with leading pharmaceutical and nutrition companies, as well as academic and governmental research institutions.

Editing genome with high precision: New method to insert multiple genes in specific locations, delete defective genes
Posted: at 2:42 am
Jan. 3, 2013 Researchers at MIT, the Broad Institute and Rockefeller University have developed a new technique for precisely altering the genomes of living cells by adding or deleting genes. The researchers say the technology could offer an easy-to-use, less-expensive way to engineer organisms that produce biofuels; to design animal models to study human disease; and to develop new therapies, among other potential applications.
To create their new genome-editing technique, the researchers modified a set of bacterial proteins that normally defend against viral invaders. Using this system, scientists can alter several genome sites simultaneously and can achieve much greater control over where new genes are inserted, says Feng Zhang, an assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT and leader of the research team.
"Anything that requires engineering of an organism to put in new genes or to modify what's in the genome will be able to benefit from this," says Zhang, who is a core member of the Broad Institute and MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research.
Zhang and his colleagues describe the new technique in the Jan. 3 online edition of Science. Lead authors of the paper are graduate students Le Cong and Ann Ran.
Early efforts
The first genetically altered mice were created in the 1980s by adding small pieces of DNA to mouse embryonic cells. This method is now widely used to create transgenic mice for the study of human disease, but, because it inserts DNA randomly in the genome, researchers can't target the newly delivered genes to replace existing ones.
In recent years, scientists have sought more precise ways to edit the genome. One such method, known as homologous recombination, involves delivering a piece of DNA that includes the gene of interest flanked by sequences that match the genome region where the gene is to be inserted. However, this technique's success rate is very low because the natural recombination process is rare in normal cells.
More recently, biologists discovered that they could improve the efficiency of this process by adding enzymes called nucleases, which can cut DNA. Zinc fingers are commonly used to deliver the nuclease to a specific location, but zinc finger arrays can't target every possible sequence of DNA, limiting their usefulness. Furthermore, assembling the proteins is a labor-intensive and expensive process.
Complexes known as transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) can also cut the genome in specific locations, but these complexes can also be expensive and difficult to assemble.
Precise targeting

The Plan to Redesign the Human Genome
The pieces of the puzzle are coming together: the rise of social media, the Human Genome Project, DNA as an antenna for receiving/transmitting electromagnetic frequencies, genetically modified organisms (Monsanto), HAARP (High frequency Aurora Active Research Project), the worldwide spraying of chemtrails (aluminum, barium, nanoparticles), and the discovery that nanoparticles can act as transmitters.
