Information from CDC on mRNA vaccines against .

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a piece of a protein to trigger an immune response and build immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19. mRNA does not affect or interact with a person’s DNA, and the cell breaks down and gets rid of the mRNA as soon as it is finished using these instructions.

Congenital Hydrocephalus Exome Study Reveals Mutations in Early Brain Development Genes 10/19/2020

Exome study at Yale on patients with congenital hydrocephalus revealed de novo mutations in twelve genes affecting brain development and uncovered what appears to be two new Mendelian syndromes (associated with the TRIM71 & SMARCC1 genes).

Congenital Hydrocephalus Exome Study Reveals Mutations in Early Brain Development Genes Researchers uncovered rare, damaging mutations in genes involved in early brain development among 22 percent of 381 sporadic congenital hydrocephalus cases.

Here’s how genes from covid-19 survivors could help you 06/23/2020

DNA-encoded antibodies might help fight the next pandemic. How? Genes encoding for specific antibodies are delivered directly into muscle cells, which then translate the DNA into protective immunoglobulins.

Here’s how genes from covid-19 survivors could help you Potential weapons against covid-19 include manufactured antibodies, serum transfusions from survivors, antivirals, steroids, and more than 100 vaccine candidates, some now advancing toward decisive tests in volunteers. But there’s another approach to battling the virus—one that hasn’t won much...
