Exploring the Intricacies of Microbial Genetics and Human Biology

Microbes are single-celled organisms, like bacteria, viruses, archaea, and fungi, with bacteria being the most common in the human body. Bacteria can have approximately 3,000 genes, some of which can be beneficial like manufacturing short-chain fatty acids while others like lipopolysaccharides may cause inflammation. Understanding the microbiology basics is crucial before delving into bioinformatics and AI. Human biology involves eukaryotic organisms with DNA translating into RNA, then proteins, and metabolites. By intercepting gene expression changes before they impact protein and metabolite generation, we aim to address health issues like diabetes.
