It is one of the most common genetic disorders of the sensory organs and affects [...] research team therefore uses lentiviral vectors (LV), which can carry a large amount of genetic material without losing it on the way. "We have already developed such an LV system in the iHEAR project [...] treatment are ideal in order to achieve the most comprehensive cure with the least amount of genetic material. If everything works, the gene therapy will be tested in clinical trials on humans at the end of

"The respective secretion samples contained only a few billionths of a gram of genetic material and about 90 per cent of that came from the children and only ten per cent from the microorganism [...] analysis, MHH bioinformaticians developed a so-called metagenome pipeline, read out the entire genetic material of the microbiome with the help of a sequencing machine and then reassigned the huge disordered
