neo / thalio......good article - did that come across on WebMD or Sciencist.com (it had several releases - alot of coverage). There's been so much to read lately but thanks to the internet - now there's even more.
How did I get along without the internet - the pre-internet days (=dark ages).
When does Dr. Yin Chen's article in Biochemistry come out? (I want to say next month but sounds too soon). Can you imagine various Bacteriologist reading that - 100% knockout rate of gene necessary for bacterial replication.
It can't be coming too soon for medicine. There's a hideous problem in so many hospitals of post-operative infections - high percentage of clean surgeries going septic and it's culture / sensitivity time and back to the 3rd or 4th generation pencillin antibiotics and hope for the best. Meanwhile the Stayh. aureus mutations handed out before one gets their bill are laughing as migrate thur their victims. Mortality rates for spesis can approach 60%.
It's time for something new - something that if there is further mutation in bacteria - adjustments are simply made to catch up immediately.
Medical community is excited about a compd to inhibit transcription in E. coli but don't get too excited - might be still in the dark ages - compared to Dr. Chen's ssDNA molecule.
Thalio, myself and the entire site here at CYGX canbe very excited when Dr. Chen's paper is published and this medical earth shattering method of controling bacterial is
exposed to the medical community worldwide.
There's alot to look forward too.

100% knockout rate? WOW!!

That's pretty astonishing! No wonder the attendees at the conference were so attentive, thalio!

And yet all our company said in its PR was: ". . . the company's proprietary ssDNA technology is effective in preventing the growth of bacteria such as the strains that cause sepsis and other potentially fatal diseases."

So I'd hope that when Chen's article comes out -- which the 11/13 PR says will be "in the next few weeks" -- it'll create the same kind of stir the article about the new class of antibiotics did when it was published in Science.

It really is funny how far ahead we are isn't it? As more and more people learn what we have done, things will change. This actually can be used for many different types of bacteria's. Imagine being able to leave meat out unrefridgerated for weeks? How about leaving the jar lid not on that tight? No trouble either way, we have it covered, literally. Real wild stuff you never would think of is going to come out of this. One of them is going to be how high our share priced is after splits, I'm ready are you?
