There's a little, a little bit you can.
So over a millennia of evolution, that gene has persisted in most mammalian species and avian species.
I think even in turtles and you can track,
how the gene evolved by the differences between each species.
So one of the things we do when we're looking at sort of the risk of transmission is where those changes have occurred in the sequence, we can look at whether that would prohibit
the two prions binding.
So if a sequence has changed too much, you know, it's like a jigsaw puzzle.
It's just not going to fit.
So, so we can look at that a little bit and there is quite a lot of work going on in the field to try and look at those structures to determine whether there is a risk of particularly a given strain, maybe moving across, um, rather than.
Understood.
Yeah.
Yes, it's not crazy.
This mostly comes from the genetics again.
So within our own genes, you can have what's called a polymorphism, which can just be a single change in the gene.
It doesn't cause disease.
It's there.
It's normal for everyone.
It's just inherited.
But those little changes can change your susceptibility to disease.
In the world of scrapie, they found that there's a specific set of these polymorphisms, like I think it's three for the scrapie resistance.
