			Whole-genome sequencing could transform salmonella detection Salmonella is among the most common organisms responsible for symptomatic and serious food poisoning. Methods to detect this have evolved from crude microscopic identification to serotype detection.

			Unique genetic history of Finnish people offers clues to disease A new study harnessed the unique genetic history of the people of Finland to identify variations in DNA that might predispose certain individuals to disease, whether or not they are Finnish themselves.

	Genetics may influence the composition of the microbiome more than environmental factors Researchers studying mice at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have found that the microbiome is influenced by genetics much more than it is by the maternal birth environment.Vaginal birth, which involves the transfer of microbiota from mother to newborn, did not have any long-lasting impact on the microbiome of the offspring.

	First ever American gene-editing treatment using CRISPR for genetic disease In a pathbreaking experiment, a 34-year-old mother of four from Mississippi is in the limelight for volunteering to be the subject of CRISPR-mediated gene editing in the hope of achieving a cure for the painful sickle cell anemia with which she has suffered all her life.

	Genetically tweaking gut bacteria reduces risk of colorectal cancer in mice finds study Researchers have found that editing of the genes of the bacteria present in the guts of mice could help reduce the inflammation and associated risk of colorectal cancers. The research from the UT Southwestern scientists has been published this week in the latest issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

	Largest ever study looks at genetic sequences of people with epilepsy Researchers and patients from Austin Health and the University of Melbourne have been involved in the largest ever study looking at the genetic sequences of people with epilepsy. The international research, published this week in the American Journal of Human Genetics, involved almost 18,000 people worldwide and identified rare genetic variations that are associated with a higher risk of epilepsy.

	Scientists discover rare genetic variants associated with epilepsy in large-scale study For the first time, scientists have mapped out the genes associated with epilepsy. The study is one of the largest of its kind to look into the genetic make-up of people with epilepsy. The research, which was conducted by scientists from Austin Health and the University of Melbourne was published in the latest issue of the journal American Journal of Human Genetics.

	Genome editing strategy opens new perspectives in the treatment of cystic fibrosis The approach adopted by the team of the University of Trento, led by Anna Cereseto, opens new perspectives in the treatment of cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease for which no cure is currently available.

	Potential genomics methods discover gene signature predicting type 1 diabetes Using cutting-edge genomics methods a gene signature predicting type 1 diabetes was discovered. This signature is detectable already before the appearance of type 1 diabetes associated autoantibodies.

	Individual differences in pleasure are due to genetic variation, research suggests Differences in how our brains respond when we're anticipating a financial reward are due, in part, to genetic differences, according to research with identical and fraternal twins published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
