Health / Scientists 'delete' HIV Virusfrom Human DNA For The Firsttime by nicko92: 1:24pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
By Ellie Zolfagharifard 12:35 22 Jul 2014, updated 16:59 22 Jul 2014 Scientists used a DNA-snipping enzyme called Cas9 to cut out the virus The cell's gene repair machinery then takes over, soldering the loose ends of the genome back together – resulting in a virus-free cell Process could also be a cure for other latent infections, researchers say 'It's an exciting discovery, but not ready to go into the clinic,' said Dr Khalili Once HIV conquers a human cell, it will stay there forever. It inserts its deadly genome permanently into its victims' DNA, forcing them to require medical treatment for the rest of their life. But now, for the first time, researchers in Philadelphia have found a way to completely delete HIV from human cells by ‘snipping’ them out. The team of Temple University School of Medicine said the breakthrough marks the first successful attempt to eliminate latent HIV-1 virus from human cells – and could be a cure for other latent infections.

Just ONE bad night's sleep can have a dramatic effect on your memory, researchers warn ‘This is one important step on the path toward a permanent cure for AIDS,' said Kamel Khalili, PhD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at Temple. 'It's an exciting discovery, but it's not yet ready to go into the clinic. It's a proof of concept that we're moving in the right direction,' he added, Temple University makes promising steps towards cure for HIV In a study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr Khalili and colleagues detail how they created molecular tools to delete the HIV-1 proviral DNA. HOW THE PROCESS WORKS Researchers based the two-part HIV-1 editor on a system that evolved as a bacterial defence mechanism to protect against infection. When deployed, a combination of a DNA-snipping enzyme called a nuclease and a targeting strand of RNA called a guide RNA (gRNA) hunt down the viral genome and remove the HIV-1 DNA. Dr Khalili's lab engineered a 20-nucleotide strand of gRNA to target the HIV-1 DNA and paired it with a DNA-sniping enzyme called Cas9 and used to edit the human genome. From there, the cell's gene repair machinery takes over, soldering the loose ends of the genome back together – resulting in virus-free cells.

From there, the cell's gene repair machinery takes over, soldering the loose ends of the genome back together – resulting in virus-free cells. 'Since HIV-1 is never cleared by the immune system, removal of the virus is required in order to cure the disease,' explained Dr Khalili. These molecular tools also hold promise as a therapeutic vaccine; cells armed with the nuclease-RNA combination proved impervious to HIV infection. Worldwide, more than 33 million people have HIV, including more than 1 million in the United States. Every year, another 50,000 Americans contract the virus, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the UK, around 100,000 people were living with HIV in the UK in 2013. That’s around one person in 665. Although highly active antiretroviral therapy (Haart) has controlled HIV-1 for infected people in the developed world over the last 15 years, the virus can rage again with any interruption in treatment. 'The low level replication of HIV-1 makes patients more likely to suffer from diseases usually associated with ageing,' Dr Khalili said. These include cardiomyopathy – a weakening of the heart muscle – bone disease, kidney disease, and neurocognitive disorders. 'These problems are often exacerbated by the toxic drugs that must be taken to control the virus,' Dr Khalili added. Researchers based the two-part HIV-1 editor on a system that evolved as a bacterial defence mechanism to protect against infection. Dr Khalili's lab engineered a 20-nucleotide strand of gRNA to target the HIV-1 DNA and paired it with a DNA-sniping enzyme called Cas9 and used to edit the human genome. 'We are working on a number of strategies so we can take the construct into preclinical studies,' Dr Khalili said. 'We want to eradicate every single copy of HIV-1 from the patient. That will cure AIDS. I think this technology is the way we can do it. |

Career / 10 Skills You Need To Get A $100,000 Engineering Job At Google by nicko92: 5:09am On Dec 21, 2014 |
Google is among the most sought after employers in the world. Engineers are the rock stars at Google — and they're paid like one. Interns start at $70,000 to $90,000 salaries, while software engineers pull in $118,000 and senior software engineers make an average of $152,985. But one does not simply walk into the Googleplex. The company receives upwards of 2.5 million job applications a year, but only hires about 4,000 people. For would-be Googlers, the Google in Education team has released a list of skills that they want to see in potential engineers. "Having a solid foundation in computer science is important in being a successful software engineer," the company says. "This guide is a suggested path for university students to develop their technical skills academically and non-academically through self- paced, hands-on learning." Here are the skills Google wants its tech talent to master, complete with online resources to get you started... Learn to code in at least one object-oriented programming language, like C++, Java, or Python. Consult MIT or Udacity. Read More : Hack Facebook User Account (Premium) 1. Learn To Code It’s not just important to know how to code. You shoul also be able to test code, because Google wants you to be able to 'catch bugs, create tests, and break your software.' 2. Test Your Code It is important to have some background in abstract math, like logical reasoning and discrete math, which lots of computer science draws on. 3. Have Some Background In Abstract Math Get to know operating systems, for they'll be where you do much of your work. 4. Get To Know Operating Systems Become familiar with artificial intelligence. Google love robots. 5. Become Familiar With Artificial Intelligence Google wants you to learn about fundamental data types like stacks, queues and bags as well as grasp sorting algorithms like quicksort, mergesort and heapsort. 6. Understand Algorithms And Data Structures Learn cryptography. Remember, cybersecurity is crucial. 7. Learn Cryptography Stanford says that when you do that, 'you will learn how a program written in a high-level language designed fo humans is systematically translated into a program written in low-level assembly more suited to machines 8. Learn How To Build Compilers Add Java Script, CSS, Ruby and HTML to your skillset. W3school and CodeAcademy are there to help. 9. Learn Other Programming Languages Also, learn parallel programming because being able to carry out tons of computations at the same time is powerful. 10. Learn Parrallel programming 2 Likes |
