make the DNA sequence

This is a new man and fighting bacteria. New edition of the American "Science" magazine published an article reported scientists around the world work together to meet new challenges. Beijing Genomics Institute to immediately open a new pathogen genome data available to researchers; researchers through the wiki, blog and other modern communication tools online distribution of the latest research findings, Hamburg - Aipu Dov University School of Medicine microbiologist Holger * Lord said: "Progress so fast, I was surprised, impressed me."

June 10, German national Centers for Disease Control announced that the Robert Koch Institute confirm the bean sprouts and other sprouts are in northern Germany in May caused a fatal outbreak of EHEC source .

German authorities also said that raw cucumber, tomato and lettuce is safe.

Genome sequences to identify new pathogens

In mid-May, when the number of patients with EHEC increased the beginning, Hamburg, Germany - Aipu Dov University School of Medicine, Clinical Division, been severely tested by medical experts, patients with micro-organisms are surrounded by the sample need to be inspected. "Science" magazine, one from China, Denmark proposed a postdoctoral researcher with the Beijing Genomics Institute Shenzhen, China to cooperate to detect the deadly pathogen genome sequences, the Chinese researchers have been through an exchange program in Hamburg - University Medical Center Aipu Dov worked.

May 25, Hamburg - Aipu Dov Clinical Division, University Medical Center will be equipped with a small test tube DNA purified virus sent to Beijing Genomics Institute; May 27, Beijing Genomics Institute arrived in a small test tube, then sequencing start.

June 2, Chinese scientists announced that all of this pathogen measured 5.2 million base pair genome sequence, researchers can immediately download and make the DNA sequence. Scientists from around the world to read the data, assembling these fragments into a coherent sequence the genome; then the genome of E. coli and other bacterial reference genomes were compared.
