Gene Editing, Microbiome and Neoantigens

Genome editing is a technique for altering the DNA of a wide range of organisms, including plants, bacteria, and animals. To achieve so, scientists employ a variety of technologies. Genome editing tools allow scientists to alter DNA, resulting in changes in physical characteristics such as eye color and illness risk.

The genome of all symbiotic and harmful bacteria living in and on all vertebrates is referred to as the microbiome. Microbiota boost immunity, break down potentially harmful food molecules, and create vitamins and amino acids. Environment, Microbiome, and Host are the three main topics of microbiome study.

Neoantigens are newly produced antigens that the immune system has not previously identified. Neoantigens can be produced from altered tumor proteins or viral proteins as a result of tumour mutations. Because neoantigens are not found in normal tissues, they are highly immunogenic.
