‘HIV genome’s makeup is decoded’—Scientist says

As we all know that HIV-1 is the main cause behind AIDS. AIDS is till date a non curable disease just because the genetic structure of HIV virus is very complicated, hence it took time and brain to reveal this mystery. Now the drugs and treatments can be generated with an ease with this discovery.

The US research, in print in Nature, possibly will allow scientists the likelihood to come across at the information covered inside.

HIV, AIDS causing virus, like the viruses which gives rise to diseases like hepatitis C, influenza, and polio, take its inherited information not as double-stranded DNA, but it carries as single-stranded RNA.

The information which is together with this in DNA is programmed in a comparatively simple way, although in RNA this is more complicated.

RNA is capable to fold up into complex patterns and structures. As a result decoding a complete genome unfasten up genetic information that was beforehand not accessible, and answers that why the virus take steps as it does.

The panel from the North Carolina University at Chapel Hill alleged that they intended to make use of the information to observe if they could formulate minute changes to the virus.

Till now it is clandestine that how crucial this information for making of drugs and treatments, but still this is very significant information for treating AIDS in the coming future.

Till then keep reading health news for latest updates!
