Using 3D skin model, a proof-of-concept study demonstrates how #bacteria on skin surface leads to significant changes of thousands of genes, secretion of cytokines and growth factors. The model gained first insights on the microbiome’s influence on skin #xenobiotic#metabolism and #olfactory receptor expression.

A secondary analysis from the ChooseWell 365 randomized trial byHassan S. Dashti,Marie-France Hivert, Douglas E. Levy, Jessica L. McCurley, Richa Saxena, Anne N. Thorndike It is well known that #genetics plays a role in the development of #obesity, yet the influence of #genetic risk for obesity on #food choice behaviors is not well understood. Real-time assessment of workplace cafeteria purchasing data demonstrates that the highest quartile of a #genome-wide #polygenic score for #BMI (highest...

Another study funded by Genomics EnglandIllumina has received £28 million (US $34.4 million) in funding to sequence whole #genomes of 20,000 people with #covid2019 who need intensive care treatment and 15,000 people with the disease who exhibit more mild symptoms. Analyzing whole genomes may identify variations and specific genes that affect response to #sarscov2 , and enable #drugdiscovery and #drugrepurposing. The study will inform strategic planning for future waves of #covid19 or even other #pandemics. #coronavirus#coronavirusoutbreak#research#DNA#genetics#sequencing Source ...
