-Even your behavior can change your gene expression
-Anything from the amount of calories to everyday habits
-Even the amount of calories you consume can affect your life span

Biofilms are layers of slime (made of a loose clump of cells) that develop naturally when bacteria congregate on surfaces like stone, metal, wood

*Bioluminescense: the ability for biofilms to glow

-Break up gangs of microbes.
-Biofilms are layers of slime that develop naturally when bacteria builds up on surfaces like stone, metal, or wood.
-Sometimes helpful: cleansing of wastewater.
-Also harmful: Contributes to a wide range of serious health problems including cholera, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, and food poisoning.

Why do different medicines work better for some but not others?

# data[].attributes.body
Because of the difference in everyone's genes, not all medicines work on every person the same. This depends on how proteins take and process drugs.

# data[].attributes.body
-Powerful tool used to identify differences that might be promising targets for new drugs.
-Comparing genetic sequences in organisms that are resistant and non resistant to drugs.
-Can reveal new approaches to fighting resistance.

Researchers are beginning to use knowledge learned from genome sequencing research to figure out how being healthy and being sick are different at the levels of molecules (Ex: Cancer)

A unique combination of genetic and environmental factors, which interact in a way that is very hard to predict, determines what each person is like.

Medicine isn't ever a cure-all
-DNA affects how the body responds to it
-Because of this, every person responds differently, if only slightly differently, to medicines
-This is why if you go to a doctor, for a medical condition, you can have them sample your DNA to find which medicines will work best for you

all of the genetic material that an individual or a species has

# data[].attributes.body
-The use of genetic info to predict how people will respond to medicines.
-Customized treatments based on an individuals genes.
-Advancing quickly
-Pharmacogenetic scientists study the effects on patients responses to drugs used to treat AIDS, allergies, infections, asthma, etc.
-Eventually, each person can get a specific array of drugs that can combat issues without causing side effects
