A team led by Michael Starnbach has identified a novel protein from Chlamydia, a family of bugs that causes the most widespread bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the developed world. The protein is active in the infected cell's cytoplasm, stimulating an immune response from killer T cells. So the molecule might make a good antigen candidate for a future Chlamydia vaccine.

To appreciate the diversity of human genetic instructions, scientists need to continue their sequencing and analysis with a much broader range of subjects.
