The document provides an overview of the human gut microbiome and its role in immunity. It discusses how the gut microbiome interacts with and helps train the immune system. The gut microbiome contains nearly 10 times more microbial cells than human cells, and plays important roles like producing compounds that regulate immune cells and preventing pathogenic organisms from taking hold. The document also summarizes methods that scientists use to study the human microbiome, such as 16S rRNA sequencing and multi-omic computational analyses.

This document describes research into using metagenomic data to search for novel lineages in the tree of life. The researchers developed methods to search for deeply branching small subunit rRNA genes in Global Ocean Sampling data, but were unable to robustly identify any novel lineages due to difficulties aligning short, distantly related sequences. They had more success identifying novel branches in the RecA and RpoB gene families. Some novel sequences likely come from unknown viruses or ancient paralogs, while others may represent truly novel cellular lineages not previously characterized. Metagenomic analysis offers potential for discovering major undiscovered branches in the tree of life.

Human Gut Microbiomes
This study investigated the use of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to inhibit the growth of Babesia bovis, an intracellular parasite. Target sequences from six essential B. bovis genes were amplified by PCR and transcribed in vitro to produce dsRNAs. These dsRNAs were then tested for their ability to inhibit B. bovis growth in culture. The dsRNAs targeting gyrase A, gyrase B, rpo B1, rpo B2, and L11 each significantly inhibited B. bovis growth at concentrations of 10 and 50 μg/ml. A mixture of gyrase A and gyrase B dsRNAs had an even stronger inhibitory effect, as did a mixture of rpo B1 and r
Metagenomics
This document discusses metagenomics, which is the study of microbial communities directly in their natural environments without isolating individual species. It outlines some key aspects of metagenomics including that most prokaryotes cannot be cultured, the use of metagenomics to study viral communities, and approaches such as functional screening and sequence-based screening. Limitations and future directions are also mentioned. Metagenomics provides insights into microbial interactions, metabolism, and genomics that were previously unknown.
Bacterial taxonomy, pixel copy (2)
This document discusses taxonomy and classification of organisms. It describes how taxonomy involves classifying organisms into groups based on similarities and evolutionary relationships. There are three domains of life - Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells that are classified based on characteristics like cell structure, staining properties, shape, and biochemical reactions. Proper classification and naming of bacteria according to taxonomic rules is important for effective communication among microbiologists and organizing biological knowledge.

Biology Lab Report
This biology lab report investigates genetic variation in a population of students in a Foundations of Biology class. The report analyzes variation at two loci - the TAS2R38 gene, which determines the ability to taste bitterness, and the LCT gene, which encodes the lactase enzyme. DNA was extracted from students and PCR/restriction enzyme digestion was used to determine genotypes. The results found that neither locus was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, supporting the hypothesis that the population violates conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg principle like random mating.
Toxicity study
Toxicology testing, also known as safety assessment, or toxicity testing, is conducted to determine the degree to which a substance can damage a living or non-living organism. It is often conducted by researchers using standard test procedures to comply with governing regulations, for example for medicines and pesticides. Much toxicology is considered to be part of the field of preclinical development. Stages of in vitro and in vivo research are conducted to determine safe doses of exposure in humans before a first-in-man study. Toxicology testing may be conducted by the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology companies or contract research organizations.
Drug development is a high-risk enterprise. The typical new drug takes 10-12 years to get to market and costs up to $500 million. Pharmaceutical companies face continually increasing challenges in drug development— shorter product life cycles, global competition, as well as daunting technical and regulatory hurdles. Meanwhile, as a result of the Human Genome Project and high throughput drug development methods, there are many more drug candidates to test. Thus, there is growing pressure on pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies.

how forensic scientists take advantage of genomic variations in noncoding regions of DNA • the techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gel electrophoresis Introduction
Bio
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that uses computational tools and techniques to analyze and interpret biological data. It plays a key role in areas like agriculture and healthcare. Some major areas of bioinformatics research include gene finding, protein structure prediction, and drug design. All organisms possess genetic material DNA that controls cell functioning and is the basis for inheritance. Understanding genomes, genes, and how genetic information is expressed presents many challenges. Comparative genomics through genome projects of different organisms can provide insights into evolution and aid in drug development.

Human Gut Microbiomes
This study investigated the use of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to inhibit the growth of Babesia bovis, an intracellular parasite. Target sequences from six essential B. bovis genes were amplified by PCR and transcribed in vitro to produce dsRNAs. These dsRNAs were then tested for their ability to inhibit B. bovis growth in culture. The dsRNAs targeting gyrase A, gyrase B, rpo B1, rpo B2, and L11 each significantly inhibited B. bovis growth at concentrations of 10 and 50 μg/ml. A mixture of gyrase A and gyrase B dsRNAs had an even stronger inhibitory effect, as did a mixture of rpo B1 and r
Metagenomics
This document discusses metagenomics, which is the study of microbial communities directly in their natural environments without isolating individual species. It outlines some key aspects of metagenomics including that most prokaryotes cannot be cultured, the use of metagenomics to study viral communities, and approaches such as functional screening and sequence-based screening. Limitations and future directions are also mentioned. Metagenomics provides insights into microbial interactions, metabolism, and genomics that were previously unknown.
Bacterial taxonomy, pixel copy (2)
This document discusses taxonomy and classification of organisms. It describes how taxonomy involves classifying organisms into groups based on similarities and evolutionary relationships. There are three domains of life - Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells that are classified based on characteristics like cell structure, staining properties, shape, and biochemical reactions. Proper classification and naming of bacteria according to taxonomic rules is important for effective communication among microbiologists and organizing biological knowledge.

Biology Lab Report
This biology lab report investigates genetic variation in a population of students in a Foundations of Biology class. The report analyzes variation at two loci - the TAS2R38 gene, which determines the ability to taste bitterness, and the LCT gene, which encodes the lactase enzyme. DNA was extracted from students and PCR/restriction enzyme digestion was used to determine genotypes. The results found that neither locus was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, supporting the hypothesis that the population violates conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg principle like random mating.
Toxicity study
Toxicology testing, also known as safety assessment, or toxicity testing, is conducted to determine the degree to which a substance can damage a living or non-living organism. It is often conducted by researchers using standard test procedures to comply with governing regulations, for example for medicines and pesticides. Much toxicology is considered to be part of the field of preclinical development. Stages of in vitro and in vivo research are conducted to determine safe doses of exposure in humans before a first-in-man study. Toxicology testing may be conducted by the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology companies or contract research organizations.
Drug development is a high-risk enterprise. The typical new drug takes 10-12 years to get to market and costs up to $500 million. Pharmaceutical companies face continually increasing challenges in drug development— shorter product life cycles, global competition, as well as daunting technical and regulatory hurdles. Meanwhile, as a result of the Human Genome Project and high throughput drug development methods, there are many more drug candidates to test. Thus, there is growing pressure on pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies.

What Continuous Improvement Is (and How to Use It)
Ben Mulholland
April 6, 2018
Business Processes, Processes, Productivity
No process is perfect; there’s always room to improve. Unfortunately, many teams have no way to identify, test, and deploy the changes they make, meaning each tweak is a roll of the dice.
The savings can be massive, but you need a continuous improvement program to make sure that the changes you make won’t make your operations a whole lot harder.
“1 in 10 improvements save money… [each saving, on average,] $31,043 in its first year of implementation.
1 in 4 improvements save time… [each saving, on average,] 270 hours in its first year of implementation.” – KaiNexus, The ROI of Continuous Improvement
Most successful changes will also make your employee’s jobs easier (or more pleasant) to perform. You’ll be saving time and money, but you’ll also be getting far better value out of your current efforts and operations.
However, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start from the top.What is continuous improvement?
Ever corrected a spelling mistake in your processes or manuals? How about adding a new step to qualify a task that wasn’t recorded before? What about updating your method to take advantage of better tools or software?
All of these and more are examples of continuous improvement.
Continuous improvement is a method to make sure that your processes, methods, and practices are as efficient, accurate, and effective as possible. This is done (surprise, surprise) by periodically examining and improving your processes to smash bottlenecks, use the best software, and take advantage of the most efficient methods.
If you’ve ever heard of lean, kaizen, Six Sigma, or DMAIC then this will sound familiar, as continuous improvement is based on similar principles and forms a key part of both of those practices. This is because the primary objective of any changes is to reduce waste and streamline your work.
While there are many different methods for achieving continuous improvement (such as process innovation and the Deming cycle), all can be classified into one of two groups; incremental or breakthrough improvements.
Incremental vs breakthrough improvements
Continuous improvement is largely practiced using two disciplines; incremental and breakthrough improvements. These can be used interchangeably, but the best way to deploy a thorough continuous improvement program is to combine the two. By doing this you can quickly deal with smaller issues while giving larger items the care and attention they deserve.Incremental continuous improvement
Incremental continuous improvement is all about making small tweaks to a process, method, or practice to improve it as problems are found. This usually costs less and can be done much faster than using the breakthrough method, but there are a few risks and downsides to doing so.
Imagine that you’re working through a regular document.
