{"title":"Uncovering the Genetic Adaptability of Tuberculosis","description":"<p>The Institute for Systems Biology and Seattle BioMed have collaborated to reconstruct the gene regulatory network of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Finely tuned gene regulation has allowed Mycobacterium tuberculosis to survive unnoticed in an apparently healthy host for decades; understanding those subtleties is critical for advancing treatment. The identification of co-regulated sets of genes and their regulatory influences offers validated predictions that will help guide future research into Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenicity.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/www.systemsbiology.org\/research\/uncovering-the-genetic-adaptability-of-tuberculosis\/"}
