India successfully outlines the map of tuberculosis genomes

Indian scientists have successfully outlined the map of tuberculosis genomes. This result is important to help research new drugs to treat tuberculosis.

Chairman of the Indian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Bulamuha Charlie announced on April 12 the results.

Hundreds of scientists from all over India have been involved in mapping the tuberculosis genome map from about 4,000 different genes.

Mr. Charlie said, treating tuberculosis is an urgent task in the field of public health, but the investment capital for this work is now seriously lacking, especially the capital for research of all kinds. new medicine.

Therefore, it is very welcome for all individuals or health agencies to take advantage of information from the tuberculosis genome to research and develop new drugs to treat this disease.

TB is a chronic infectious disease, caused by TB germs, the most common of which is tuberculosis. Currently, around 1.7 million people die from tuberculosis globally./.
