Why Are More Men Than Women Dying Of COVID-19? – FiveThirtyEight

The novel coronavirus seems to be killing more men than women.

The trend was first noticed in China, experts say, and the higher COVID-19 death rate for men has since been documented in 33 countries, including Germany, Spain and South Korea. But experts dont know whats causing the gap. Is it biological, some quirk of cells and hormones? Is it the result of gendered behaviors that have more to do with sociology than sex chromosomes? Lets break down whats going on, because experts say mens risk level depends on what risks (and which men) youre talking about.

While men account for the majority of COVID-19 cases in some countries but a minority of cases in others, they consistently make up the majority of deaths. Out of 35 countries that have reported their COVID deaths in ways that break out victims by sex, 33 had a male-female death ratio greater than 1, meaning men who were confirmed to have the disease were more likely to die than women who were confirmed to have it, according to data compiled by Global Health 50/50, a independent health equity research organization based at University College London. So far, the mortality disadvantage for men is quite large, said Jennifer Dowd, a professor of demography and population health at the University of Oxford.

Share of COVID-19 patients who died, by gender

Numbers in this table come from different dates, depending on the country and how frequently it updates its publicly available data. Most of the data is dated to April 26-29, though a few countries numbers are from earlier in April. Chinas data is from Feb. 28 and Irans is from March 17.

Source: Global Health 50/50

This dynamic isnt new to medicine. Women have stronger adaptive immune responses and die less of infectious disease their entire lives, starting from infant mortality, Dowd said. In general, womens bodies kick out bacterial and viral invaders faster than mens do, and vaccines work better for women than for men.

To see why, look to hormones and genetics, said Sabra Klein, professor of microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins University. Sex hormones appear to play a role determining how well human bodies can fight off disease. In general, estrogens amp up the immune system, while androgens (like testosterone) and progesterone suppress it. Hormones have to interact with cells to do their jobs, Klein said, so cells have a lock and hormones have the key to get in. And, turns out, every immune cell in your body has these kinds of lock-and-key receptors.

Sex chromosomes also play a role. The X chromosome, for example, has 60 genes associated with immune function. Most biological males are born with one X chromosome, but those immune-boosting genes tend to be expressed more frequently in women, who generally have two X chromosomes, Klein said.

But if youre tempted to think those sex differences boil down to men are more likely to die from infectious disease, Klein cautioned that the generalization is not true across the board. Sex differentiation in influenza has been pretty well studied, she told me, and, in that case, womens more aggressive immune systems dont give us an advantage. Having too much of an inflammatory immune response to the flu can actually increase your risk of complications including acute respiratory distress syndrome, when the lungs tiny air sacs, called alveoli, are damaged and fill with fluid. Reproductive-age women do worse, not better, Klein said.

But while researchers know a decent amount about sex differences in influenza, the novel coronavirus is, yes, novel. Any research on it is a work in progress, proceeding without full data. That starts with basic documentation.

On April 28th, the United States had reported 57,318 deaths from the novel coronavirus, but only 31,586 of those deaths had been reported in ways that allowed Global Health 50/50 to break them down by sex. None of the researchers I spoke with knew why that data isnt getting reported. But without it, theyre left to a lot of guesswork and speculation. Its safe to assume that deaths in the U.S. are probably following the patterns seen in many other countries but we dont know for sure that thats true.

Then theres the fact that the variations in how this virus affects people probably isnt just about whats in their chromosomes or hormones. Its also about sociological gender the attitudes, stereotypes and norms that shape the ways people behave and the choices they make.

For example, a 2016 meta-analysis showed that women are about 50 percent more likely than men to start using non-pharmaceutical protective behaviors during a pandemic things like wearing face masks or avoiding public transit. Men, meanwhile, were about 12 percent more likely than women to sign up for vaccines, take antiviral medication, or use other pharmaceutical interventions. Those differences in behavior arent determined by biology, but they could help create variations in how a virus affects men and women.

Rosemary Morgan, a scientist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who studies how gender and sex interact with public health, thinks these kinds of effects are happening with COVID-19. But how and to what extent thats unknown. It also probably differs from country to country, thanks to the way gender norms also arent consistent everywhere you go.

Case in point: When data on sex disparities in COVID-19 deaths first began to come in from China, it wasnt clear that the differences in death rates there would mean other counties were going to experience the same thing. Thats because China has particularly gendered smoking habits, Dowd told me. In a 2010 study, 54 percent of Chinese men surveyed were current smokers. In contrast, the same study found that less than 3 percent of Chinese women currently smoked. Although sex differences in COVID-19 death rates have cropped up again in other countries, its likely that this gender disparity in smoking plays a role in why 64 percent of Chinas COVID-19 deaths have been among men even though men account for right around half of Chinas confirmed cases.

Gender norms may also influence the niches where women are getting the disease more than men, despite mens higher death rates. When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked at the characteristics of health care workers who have contracted COVID-19, it found that 73 percent were women. Why are female health care workers getting infected at much higher rates? Part of it likely has to do with their higher odds of exposure.

Nurses jobs put them in close physical contact with patients who have COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, and more than 70 percent of nurses are women. Meanwhile, the personal protective equipment meant to help keep medical workers safe often isnt designed with women in mind. Gloves can be too large. Masks dont always fit womens faces with a tight seal. Gender dynamics could be putting a largely female workforce in harms way.

In the end, regardless of your sex or your gender the risks you face from COVID-19 are probably somewhat unique to you. But if we want to figure out just what, exactly, those risks are, were going to need more data.

Genetic testing helps find cancer possibilities: Waco nurse dealt with breast cancer caused by mutation – Waco Tribune-Herald

Shawnna Latino had few concerns as she awaited the results of her biopsy for breast cancer in 2015. After all, she was a registered nurse who understood the ramifications of the disease, and she had done all the right things regular self-examinations and never-missed yearly mammograms.

So when a mammogram detected calcifications in one of her breasts, she thought they were simple benign calcium deposits.

When the results came back from the biopsy, I was shocked, she said. She had tested positive for breast cancer.

The diagnosis was particularly troubling because of Shawnnas family medical history, which is fraught with cancer. Her mother at age 70 had been diagnosed with breast cancer just eight months before her daughters test results.

At the same time, Shawnnas brother was battling aggressive prostate cancer, which eventually took his life. Their maternal grandmother had died of cancer, as had the grandmothers five sisters. A maternal aunt had died of pancreatic cancer, and her daughter, Shawnnas cousin, was diagnosed with the same disease soon afterward.

Shawnna Latino with her mom, Dietra Dede Lucas (left), and her daughter, Bailee Norris, during Shawnnas chemo and radiation treatment.

When Shawnna consulted with her oncologist, Dr. Thomas J. Harris at Texas Oncology in Waco, he wanted to conduct genetic testing, something that is done as needed at the oncology clinic.

She thought it unlikely that she might have a gene mutation, which can indicate a high risk of breast and ovarian cancer as well as other cancers. The mutation affects only a small percentage of the population.

However, once more, Shawnna found herself with a positive test result, this time for mutation of the BRCA-2 gene.

I never imagined it would be positive, she said.

They then tested her mother and discovered the same genetic problem. The women found out later that Shawnnas maternal cousin was in the same boat. She has the exact mutation that my mom and I have, she said.

Mutation

BRCA 1 & 2 are tumor suppressor genes that prevent uncontrolled cell growth and help keep normal cells from becoming cancerous. If either is mutated, a woman will have a 40-70% risk of having breast cancer and 27-44% chance of ovarian cancer during her lifetime.

In men, such mutations can result in male breast cancer (6% risk) or prostate cancer (20%). Both genders are also at risk for melanoma and pancreatic cancer.

Just as troubling, if not more so, is the fact that people of either gender with the mutation have a 50% chance of passing it to their children, which keeps the cancer cycle going throughout generations.

The last thing you want to do is pass it on to your child, Shawnna said. Her biggest fear was that her daughter, Bailee Norris, may have inherited the mutation. However, genetic testing showed that Bailee had not, a great relief to her mother.

Dr. Carlos Encarnacin, breast cancer and genetics specialist at Texas Oncology, said, Cancer is a genetic disease, but it is not always inherited.

Most cancers are sporadic, he said, caused by lifestyle choices like smoking or other unknown factors, but some develop through a mutated gene (like BRCA) inherited from either parent.

Dr. Carlos Encarnacin, a breast cancer and genetics specialist at Texas Oncology, says genetic testing has become an integral part of oncology.

The doctors at Texas Oncology treat all types of cancer using radiation and drugs, but they also work to identify cancer risks in a timely manner.

Our focus is early detection and prevention, Encarnacin said.

A person considered at high probability because of family history or other factors should have a risk assessment, starting with an interview and an estimation of risk. If testing is deemed necessary, a blood or saliva test can be done to see if theres a mutation. The price of testing has gone down dramatically, and insurance often covers the cost or at least part of it.

Importance

Is genetic counseling important for much of the population?

Absolutely, Encarnacin said. If a patient had cancer or has family history of cancer, he or she should have a risk evaluation and maybe genetic testing.

He suggests that people discuss this with their family doctor and be referred to a specialist if necessary. Its important that the counseling and testing be administered by those who are specifically trained for it.

Genetics has become an integral part of oncology, and it will keep changing over time, he said. Researchers found the first cancer-related gene, BRCA-1, in the mid-1990s, but new genes related to various types of cancer are being identified regularly.

Reduction of cancer risk in BRCA carriers can be achieved in a couple of ways, including hormone blocker pills or preventative mastectomies.

However, he said of the mastectomy, Not everyone with a BRCA mutation has to choose that. They may prefer an enhanced cancer surveillance program.

Women with BRCA mutations who do not intend to have more children should strongly consider having their ovaries removed to lessen their chance of a deadly ovarian cancer, Encarnacin said.

Decisions

For Shawnna, when she learned of her breast cancer and gene mutation, the choice was clear. Though the cancer was only in one breast, she said, I decided to have both removed and be done with it.

After surgery for the removal and reconstruction, she went through chemo and radiation treatments, continuing to work as a nurse every day except for Wednesdays, her treatment days.

I think that had a lot to do with my well-being, she said.

Genetic testing showed that Shawnna Latinos mom Dietra Dede Lucas also has a gene mutation, but her daughter Bailee Norris does not.

Later that year, she had a complete hysterectomy to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.

Because she has the BRCA mutation, she is screened each year for pancreatic cancer and also must be seen by a dermatologist once a year to check for melanoma.

In the meantime, Shawnna and her husband, dentist Chad Latino, and children Bailee, Aidan and Tristan are moving on with life by enjoying every day to the fullest. And, along with friends and business partners Scott and Michelle Irwin, they have begun a new enterprise.

The four of them will be keeping their current jobs but are planning to open a hatchet-throwing business whenever the current pandemic subsides. Stumpys Hatchet House, which is in a Waco historic building at 924 Austin Ave., was due to open before the coronavirus hit.

With a laugh, she says of the venture, It was kind of a coincidental thing. Sure, we said. We all have full-time jobs. Lets start a business!

Shawnna has a joyful attitude that is apparent. Of her cancer experiences, she said, There were so many blessings in that journey. I never asked why me? It was always why not me?

She considers genetic testing essential.

Its so important to know your health history and your family history, she said. It can save your life. Knowledge is power, and its very empowering to know about yourself.

As Shawnna found out, sharing your medical history with family is also highly important to alert others to possible inherited genetic mutations.

Fighting the COVID-19 fire with molecular diagnostics innovations – Cambridge Network

Dr Luyun Jiang, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx, recently published this article following the release of the new IDTechEx report, "COVID-19 Diagnostics".

Viruses were once known as "contagious living fluids", strange infectious substances capable of slipping through the finest of filters unnoticed. SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic is indeed slipping through every layer of society, leaving behind severe public health and economic crises. Unlike in the influenza pandemic in 1918, today we are better equipped to identify the elusive bug, with the toolbox of molecular diagnostics and lateral flow assays.

Since the full genome sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2, many national laboratories have identified, in record time, regions of the genome amenable for genetic testing. The golden standard adopted by national laboratories around the world following the WHO protocol to detect the virus in individuals, is based on detecting genetic material specific to SARS-CoV-2 viruses in a person's nasopharyngeal secretions. The main tool for such genetic tests is the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Primer strands that hybridise specifically to the SARS-CoV-2 genome, together with fluorescent probes, help amplify and detect the viral load present in a patient. RT-PCR, normally performed in a real-time quantitative qRT-PCR machine for live fluorescent read-out, constitutes the core element of the testing effort being deployed at the moment across the globe. Clinical laboratories with the necessary equipment and technical know-how to perform RT-PCR are leading this diagnosis effort.

However, not all countries are prepared, neither logistically or with enough equipment and capacity to perform mass testing. An important bottleneck is the short supply of certain ancillary reagents needed to prepare samples for RT-PCR test. RNA extraction kits, for example, are needed for extracting the viral RNA from the sample. The shortage of such supplies, the long processing time and the need to become self-sufficient, has led to many laboratories to try to circumvent some steps in the protocol and to come up with new approaches to reach the testing targets that have been set by policymakers and healthcare officials.

The need for universal and massive testing across the population has led to a race for technology innovations for COVID-19 diagnostics. The newly launched IDTechEx report, "COVID-19 Diagnostics", surveys the technology landscape, with an in-depth analysis of the technology innovations that are enabling a quick access to COVID-19 diagnosis in response to the global pandemic.

Point-of-care molecular diagnostics (POC MDx) are portable devices that perform molecular diagnosis away from central labs. Microfluidics is the key technology behind POC MDx, which controls the motion of small amounts of fluids in microchannels. Microfludic cartridges enable the miniaturisation of devices and introduces automation in the sample handling and detection processes. Some POC MDx devices use isothermal amplification of nucleic acid as an alternative to PCR devices. Isothermal amplifaction bypasses the need of thermal cycling and reduces the detection time from around 2 hours to just 5 min (Abbott ID Now system). Various isothermal amplifaction methods have been adopted for COVID-19 diagnostics. Complex design and unspecific amplification hinder the widespread use of this method. "COVID-19 Diagnostics" provides a deep insight and comparison into the technologies, innovations and current progress on POC MDx and isothermal amplification.

Apart from the time consuming thermal cycling, real-time fluorescent detection is another limitation for low-cost and portable diagnosis tools. Lateral flow assays (both fluorescent or colorimetric), electrochemical detection and microbead-based arrays are integrated with thermal cyclers (PCR reaction) to detect the amplified genetic products. These hybrid systems enable faster, cheaper and palm-size devices for COVID-19 detection at the expense of sensitivity and specificity. More recently, CRISPR-Cas (gene-editing tool based on specific gene recognition) and DNA sequencing techniques show the potential for highly sensitive and selective hybrid systems, as highlighted in "COVID-19 Diagnostics".

Resonating with the message of the WHO director general: "test, test and test", these innovations offer the tools to stop the current outbreak, as well as to prevent future outbreaks, by effective diagnostics and surveillance testing.

Coronavirus in NSW: Penrith residents urged to get tested as COVID-19 strain behind deadly outbreak spreads – 7NEWS.com.au

An urgent warning has been issued to people living in a western Sydney local government area after health authorities identified a strain of COVID-19 responsible for more than a dozen deaths.

People in the Penrith LGA have been asked to come forward for testing after the strain was identified to have been associated with known COVID-19 clusters.

The strain of the virus is the same one thats been identified at the Newmarch House in Caddens, where 59 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and 13 people have died.

Were uring people in the Penrith local government area to be a focus for increased testing, NSW Chief Medical Officer Dr Kerry Chant said on Friday.

In the video below: NSW Premier confirms nine new coronavirus cases

We are aware that our genetic testing of the virus has indicated there has been a virus strain of COIVD-19 circulating in that broader community and we have seen it enter, for instance, the Newmarch house, but also its been associated with other clusters in that area.

So anyone in the Penrith LGA, I particularly urge you, if youve got respiratory symptoms, come forth and get tested.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she wants at least 8,000 people to come forward for testing every day across the state and she doesnt want to see a dip on the weekend.

Our goal is to have as many people tested every day of the week as possible and we want to get close to that 8000 number and even exceed it, she told reporters on Friday.

So please come forward even if you have the mildest symptoms.

More on 7NEWS.com.au

You dont need to wait until Monday. You could be unintentionally passing on the disease without knowing you have it.

Nine new cases of coronavirus were announced on Friday, bringing the states total number of cases to 3,025.

Of the new cases, three are from a known cluster or source, one was acquired overseas and another one remains under investigation.

The Treatments Carried Out With CRISPR Have Been Proved To Be Safe For People – Somag News

The first manned experiments were carried out in China with CRISPR gene editing technology. In a study with cancer patients, the treatment was shown to be safe and permanent.

Scientists and researchers continue to work on CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), a gene editing technology. The first manned experiments with this gene editing technology were completed.

In these first experiments using CRISPR technology, quite promising developments took place. In the experiment, it was revealed by the researchers that the treatment was safe and permanent.

Cancer treatment with CRISPR:A team led by You Lu from West China Hospital applied CRISPR to take the immune cells of people with lung cancer to neutralize a gene called PD-1. The PD-1 protein usually sends signals to the immune cells to hold the attacks from the bodys own tissues, but the active PD-1 also extends the gates to spread the cancer.

The team then injected each participant with a modified version of their own immune cells. The participants experienced quite mild side effects. In addition, potentially dangerous gene mutations from gene regulation, the greatest fear of researchers, were very limited.

These cells, regulated by CRISPR, remained in the blood for at least four weeks, and this also showed that the effects of the strategy could be permanent, but this experiment in China was conducted with only 12 people with cancer. The authors of the article called for more comprehensive studies with newer gene editing systems. Many CRISPR based experiments guided this study, some of which have already been reported.

ETF of the Week: ARK Genomic Revolution Multi-Sector Fund (ARKG) – ETF Trends

ETF Trends CEO Tom Lydon discussed the ARK Genomic Revolution Multi-Sector Fund (ARKG)on this weeks ETF of the Week podcast with Chuck Jaffe on the MoneyLife Show.

The ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (ARKG) is an actively-managed fund from the team at ARK Invest that tries to pick the companies best positioned to profit from advancements in energy, automation, manufacturing, materials, and transportation.

ARKG is an outperforming biotech ETF. As far as 1-month performances: ARKG is +43.7% versus the benchmark Nasdaq Biotechnology Index at +26.4%. Year-to-date, ARKG is +15.7% versus Nasdaq Biotechnology Index at +2.4%.

Concerning today, there is short-term support from the hope of a viable COVID-19 drug. For example, Pluristem (PSTI) surged on news that it had treated seven severely ill patients with COVID-19 in Israel with its allogeneic placental expanded (PLX) cells, with a survival rate of 100%, and It has treated at least one patient in the United States as well.

ARKG capitalizes on innovative, specialized drugs that are being developed by many overlooked names. Iovance (IOVA) climbed after it announced it would present data on its Phase 1 Study Combining Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) and Nivolumab in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Compugen (CGEN) jumped on news that the company will present potentially positive updates on its ongoing Phase 1 immuno-oncology clinical trial evaluating COM701.

Looking at the long-term outlook, ARKG includes companies that merge healthcare with technology and capitalize on the revolution in genomic sequencing. These companies try to understand better how biological information is collected, processed, and applied by reducing guesswork and enhancing precision, restructuring health care, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and improving our quality of life.

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Next Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) and CRISPR gene-editing has the potential to boost the efficiency of drug development radically. Breakthroughs in genomic science can present new treatments to help patients recover from what were once believed to be incurable afflictions.

For the record, the global genomics market was worth $851.96 million in 2019. It is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.71% and reach $1.5 billion by 2023. Rising government funds for research on genomics drives the growth of the single-cell genomics market. The government funding focuses on efforts to resolve the complexity of the human genome, the genomic basis of human health and disease, and ensure that genomics is used safely to enhance patient care and benefit society through government, public and private institutions.

Related:ETF of the Week: ProShares Long Online/Short Stores ETF (CLIX)

Scientists have identified more than 50,000 genetic diseases caused by single-gene mutations, many of which are likely to be treated through genomic approaches, including several methods that have already begun to receive FDA approval. Looking ahead, CRISPR-based innovations to accelerate given the technologys ease of use, cost-efficacy, a growing body of research surrounding its safety and AI-powered CRISPR nuclease selection tools. CRISPR could also be utilized to address some of the most prominent healthcare problems, which opens up a significant investment opportunity in monogenic diseases.

Bolstering the case for ARKG over the long-term is the importance of genomics in an array of clinical trials. Drug development companies are making clinical trials more efficient by using NGS to find and enroll patients likely to respond. Half of the clinical trials and 80% of oncology trials now collect genetic information. ARK believes that clinical trials using genetic diagnostics will result in fewer failed drugs and will increase capital efficiency.

Yield10 Bioscience Obtains Positive Response from USDA-APHIS on Regulatory Status of its CRISPR Genome-Edited C3007 Trait in Camelina, Paving the Way…

WOBURN, Mass., April 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN), an agricultural bioscience company, today announced that it has obtained a positive response from USDA-APHISs Biotechnology Regulatory Services (BRS) for its CRISPR genome-edited C3007 trait in Camelina sativa plant lines designed to increase oil content. Yield10s submission along with the USDA-APHIS BRS response is posted on theUSDAs website.

In January 2020, Yield10 submitted an Am I Regulated? letter to the BRS, requesting confirmation of the regulatory status for Camelina plant lines containing the Companys novel, CRISPR genome-edited C3007 trait. The positive USDA-APHIS response came in the form of a published letter indicating that the plant lines do not meet the definition of a regulated article under 7 CFR Part 340.

This clarification of the regulatory status under USDA-APHIS guidelines accelerates the path for Yield10 to conduct field trials of the CRISPR genome-edited C3007 plants in the United States in the 2020 growing season. The plant lines may still be subject to regulation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Receiving a positive response from USDA-APHIS for our CRISPR genome-edited C3007 lines is a critical milestone within our development program and facilitates the transition of lines with this trait to field testing this year, said Dr. Kristi Snell, Ph.D., Chief Science Officer of Yield10 Bioscience. Initial studies with C3007 have demonstrated potential for increased oil content, and the next step of testing this trait under field conditions will help us to characterize its performance and role in boosting oil content in Camelina and other oilseed crops.

The ability to increase oil content in specialty oilseed crops like Camelina has the potential to make a significant impact in the supply of omega fatty acid containing oils, to human nutrition and aquaculture feed markets. Further, the continued analysis of C3007 and its role as a key regulator of oil content in Camelina may also enable this trait to be used to increase production of edible oils in other major oilseed crops such as soybean and canola.

Once again, we appreciate both the speed and the transparency in which USDA-APHIS reviewed our letter and the data we provided, which has enabled us to plan our first field trials with this trait in 2020, said Dr. Oliver Peoples, Chief Executive Officer of Yield10 Bioscience. It is this sound, science-based regulatory framework that we believe is so important to the successful development and commercialization of new technologies for agriculture to increase crop performance, as well as other efforts to address sustainable global food security.

Yield10 licensed C3007 from the University of Missouri (MU) in 2018. The protein encoded by C3007, also known as BADC, is a novel regulator of the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), the key enzyme for producing fatty acids for oil biosynthesis. In pilot studies conducted by MU researchers, reducing activity of the protein encoded by C3007 resulted in significantly increased oil content in seeds.Yield10 researchers have successfully used CRISPR to inactivate a number of the C3007 gene copies in Camelina and have seen clear evidence of increased oil content in some lines in laboratory studies. The use of CRISPR to deploy the trait may enable an expedited timeline for development and commercialization within the U.S. market.

The CRISPR genome-edited C3007 trait could deliver significant economic value by changing the value equation for the commercialization of identity preserved, specialty oilseed crops where the key value-driver is oil content with improved nutritional profiles for human consumption or for aquaculture feed or industrial markets. These traits may also be used to increase production of edible oils in major oilseed crops such as soybean and canola.

AboutYield10 Bioscience

Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. is an agricultural bioscience company developing crop innovations to improve crop yields and enhance sustainable global food security. The Company utilizes its proprietary GRAIN (Gene Ranking Artificial Intelligence Network) gene discovery platform to identify gene targets to improve yield performance and value in major commercial food and feed crops.

Tinkering with brain proteins may add insulation back to damaged nerve cells – Massive Science

Scientists are trying to tackle the lack of diversity seen in genomics research, but even ambitious efforts, like the NIHs All of Us program, often fall short, especially when it comes to the inclusion of Indigenous communities. This is one of the reasons why the Decolonize DNA Day conference is taking place on April 24th, one day before the National DNA Day.

Traditionally, National DNA Day is an annual celebration of the discovery of DNA's double helix structure (1953) and the completion of the Human Genome Project (2003).

I was having conversations with colleagues on what would it mean to decolonize DNA, says Krystal Tsosie, an Indigenous (Din/Navajo) PhD student at Vanderbilt University. As an Indigenous academic, we always talk about what it means to Indigenize and re-Indigenize different disciplines of academia that have been historically more white-centred or white-dominated... and what it would mean to remove the colonial lens.

In collaboration with Latrice Landry and Jerome de Groot, Tsosie co-organized the Decolonize DNA Day Twitter conference to help re-frame narratives around DNA. Each speaker will have an hour to tweet out their "talk" and lead conversations on various topics, including how DNA ancestry testing fuels anti-Indigeneity and how to utilize emerging technologies to decolonize precision medicine.

There is a divide between people who are doing the science or the academic work, and the people who we want to inform, says Tsosie. Twitter is a great way to bridge that divide.

The Decolonize DNA Day conference is simply one effort to Indigenize genomics. Tsosie is also a co-founder of the Native BioData Consortium, a non-profit organization consisting of researchers and Indigenous members of tribal communities, focused on increasing the understanding of Native American genomic issues.

We dont really see a heavy amount of Indigenous engagement in genetic studies, which then means that as precision medicine advances as a whole [] those innovations are not going to be applied to Indigenous people, says Tsosie. How do we get more Indigenous people engaged?

Some of the answers can be found in a recent Nature Reviews Genetics perspective, penned by Indigenous scientists and communities, including those from the Native BioData Consortium. The piece highlights the actions that genomics researchers can take to address issues of trust, accountability, and equity. Recommended actions include the need for early consultations, developing benefit-sharing agreements, and appropriately crediting community support in any academic publications.

By switching power dynamics, were hoping to get genomic researchers to work with us, instead of against us, says Tsosie.

Free DNA Test Claims to Warn Whether COVID Is Likely to Kill You – Futurism

You know that file you got from Ancestry or 23andMe that contains a digital copy of your entire genetic code? Imagine that you upload it to a site, and five minutes later it spits out a report. Bad news it says your risk from the coronavirus is a glaring red HIGHER, meaning that according to a potpourri of genetic markers, youre more likely to have a severe, potentially deadly case of COVID-19.

Thats the idea behind a free genetic analysis offered by Sequencing.com, a genetic testing company thats offering personalized, DNA-based coronavirus warnings.

A person who looks to be low risk on a non-genetic level or seems like they could be pretty okay if they get COVID-19, we know that their genes are putting them on the path to a more severe disease, Sequencing CEO and clinical geneticist Brandon Colby told Futurism.

One of the major challenges of the coronavirus pandemic has been identifying whos at a greater risk for a disease that remains difficult to treat. At first, the outbreak seemed to be most dangerous for the elderly or people with underlying health conditions. But over time, more reports emerged of younger, healthier people coming down with severe and sometimes fatal cases.

Colbys goal is to personalize coronavirus testing by providing reports catered specifically to a individuals genetic code. With that, the screenings could bring to light warnings signs that might have previously flown under the radar for patients who otherwise seem healthy.

Colby told Futurism that he hopes the reports will convince people with high genetic risk factors to exercise greater caution. And if they do start to feel sick, he says, the report could spur them to seek treatment immediately.

That person may have genes that put them at high risk, and thats really the power of this report, Colby told Futurism. Without this report, that would have been a major question.

While clinical trials about how to best treat COVID-19 are only beginning to emerge, geneticists have already learned much about the structure, genetic code, and biological mechanisms of the virus that causes it, SARS-CoV-2. Colby and his team used that research to develop their predictive reports.

Because SARS-CoV-2 is so genetically similar to SARS-CoV-1, the coronavirus that causes SARS, the Sequencing team also pulled from the far more expansive body of research on that virus as well, since the same genes seem to be linked to a greater risk of infection and more severe symptoms of both diseases.

This research is still preliminary and this analysis is based on preliminary genetic associations, Colby said. If the pandemic was not such a crisis, then this would be something that we would want more research to come out upon. We would probably put this up there in a beta format, and that would be very clear.

But due to the crisis, the urgency, we are utilizing these preliminary studies and making sure that people understand that these are preliminary, he added. Were utilizing what information we currently have available to make it useful at a time when its needed.

Supplementing their research with existing studies on the SARS virus may make for a more robust tool, but genetic experts werent entirely convinced by the idea of an online genetic test for COVID risk.

I think the key here is that there are both genetic and environmental factors that contribute to an individuals personal susceptibility, Boston University geneticist Shoumita Dasgupta, whos unaffiliated with Sequencing, told Futurism. We know this from other pathogens as well. Neither one alone will be enough to be completely protective, but the combination of public health measures and biomedical research on genetic risk factors can together help us navigate our way out of this situation.

Genetics rarely gives you a 100 percent foolproof predictive ability, Dasgupta added.

Certainly, comparative genomics can give insight from how genes work in other systems, but since viruses evolve quickly, its possible that those components may work together slightly differently in the novel coronavirus, Dasgupta added.

Because genes cant possibly tell the whole story, Sequencings report also weighs non-genetic risk factors, like age, smoking habits, and existing medical conditions, which Dasgupta described as a good start. Colby told Futurism that even more environmental factors, like stress, will be included in a major update to the reports expected to go live on Friday.

Colby said that his team will add new findings as they encounter them, making the reports more accurate and robust. Anyone who got a genetic profile from Sequencing might get a notification in the future that their report has changed as new research comes in, especially after that new update.

Even with the knowledge that these reports are based on preliminary findings and could change just as the pandemic continues to change and surprise us, Colby hopes that the personalized reports and warnings will inspire people to better protect themselves.

If you dont know that youre at very high risk, you think, Hey Im 30 years old, I dont have any health problems, I dont smoke, Im gonna go shopping today. Im gonna go outside and potentially expose myself, that decision may be altered once you go and see these reports, Colby said.

Are Grizzly Tracks Near Grangeville From Same Bear Seen Nearby Last Year? – bigcountrynewsconnection.com

Idaho Department of Fish and Game recently confirmed that tracks near Grangeville came from a grizzly bear, a species not common in that part of the state, according to an agency news release.

The tracks were spotted April 18 about seven miles south of Grangeville in the Fish Creek Meadows area, officials said. A hair sample was collected near the tracks and sent to a lab for genetic testing, but results won't be available for several months.

"We don't know if it's going to stay," said Jon Rachael, state wildlife manager for Fish and Game, in a phone interview. "We don't know if it's still there now." According to Fish and Game, it's not the first instance of a bear in the region. A hair sample was collected near White Bird Creek, southwest of Grangeville, in spring of 2019. DNA testing of the sample showed that animal was a young male grizzly that had been radio-collared as a yearling near Idaho's border with Canada in 2017. The bear's collar had fallen off in 2018, so no tracking data was available last year.

"If confirmed as the same bear, this bear is now 4 years old, and it has traveled several hundred miles through Idaho and Montana without any known conflict with people," Fish and Game said in the news release.

Experts say grizzly bears, considered an endangered species in the Lower 48 of the United States, have been expanding their territory in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana for the last decade. Last summer, a male grizzly wearing a tracking collar headed south into the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area, where grizzlies hadn't been seen in nearly a century.

"We don't have a lot of indication of grizzly bears in that area," Rachael said.

Last fall, a hunter captured images on a game camera of what he believes is a grizzly bear in the Newsome Creek area west of Elk City. That's only about 21 miles from Fish Creek Meadows, where Fish and Game found grizzly tracks last weekend. Fish and Game took DNA samples from bear scat in the area, but the results came back positive for a black bear. Rachael said it's possible the animal in the photo was a grizzly and the scat tested belonged to a different animal. He said it's also possible the bear in the photo is the same one that left tracks near Grangeville.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maps from 2018 show grizzly bears are known to be in eastern Idaho near the border of Wyoming, where they sometimes roam from Yellowstone National Park. The bears are also known to be in far North Idaho near the Canadian border.
