Identify Reasons Genomes Describe Scientists Analyse Pathogens Analysing

This flashcard describes four reasons why scientists may want to analyze pathogen genomes: to find the source of infection, identify antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, track the progress of an outbreak, and identify targets for new drugs and vaccines.

Este flashcard descreve quatro motivos pelos quais os cientistas podem querer analisar os genomas dos patógenos: descobrir a origem da infeção, identificar estirpes de bactérias resistentes a antibióticos, rastrear o progresso de um surto e encontrar alvos para novos medicamentos e vacinas.

Front Describe 4 reasons why scientists may want to analyse the genomes of pathogens.
Back Reasons for analysing genomes of pathogens:
  • Find out source of infection
  • Identify antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria
  • Track progress of an outbreak
  • Identify regions in genome of pathogens that may be useful targets in development of new drugs & to identify genetic markers for vaccines
