Disease prevention and mapmaking have been inextricably intertwined since 1854, when an English physician named John Snow plotted a cholera outbreak on a grid to locate–and shut down–a bacteria-tainted water pump, inventing the modern science of epidemiology along the way. In 2010 geneticist Eric Schadt, then the chief scientific officer at DNA sequencer maker Pacific Biosciences, had a brainstorm as to how to update Snow’s breakthrough for the modern age. The germs that infect us–everything from influenza to measles to bubonic plague–wind up in our waste. Why not look for them by using DNA technology to sequence raw sewage? Snippets of DNA in wastewater could then be matched to known pathogens–and specific physical locations. Public health officials would no longer have to wait for someone to spike a fever to know that Ebola virus was in Manhattan–they would be alerted by the sequences coming from the sewers, and they would know within a few blocks where it was. Schadt tried the project out using samples from the San Francisco sewers, but bringing sewage back to PacBio’s expensive, heavy sequencers was impractical at best. Christopher Mason, a Weill Cornell Medical College professor, has picked up a simpler version of the idea, applying swabs to surfaces all over New York City to create a “Pathomap” of germs that will be unveiled early next year. But Schadt, who now heads a sweeping Carl Icahn-funded genomics effort at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Manhattan, still wants a more detailed map produced automatically from sewage. Possible? One new DNA sequencer, made by Oxford Nanopore, is a thumb drive that can take sequences on the spot. Who knows what another generation of innovation could bring? Says Mason: “It’s futuristic, but not unrealistic.” Via Integrated DNA Technologies, Dr. Stefan Gruenwald

You're probably aware that heart disease and cancer are far and away the leading causes of death in America. But globally the picture is more complicated: The above map shows the leading cause of lost years of life by country (click to see a larger version). The data comes from the Global Burden of Disease study, whose 2013 installment was released just a few weeks ago. It's worth stressing that "cause of lost years of life" and "cause of death" aren't identical. For example, deaths from preterm births may cause more lost years of life in a country than deaths from heart disease even if heart disease is the leading cause of death. Deaths from preterm births amount to many decades of lost life, whereas heart disease tends to develop much later on. But that makes the fact that heart disease is the leading cause of lost life in so many countries all the more striking, and indicative of those countries' successes in reducing childhood mortality. By contrast, in many lower-income countries, the leading cause is something like malaria, diarrhea, preterm birth, HIV/AIDS, or violence, which all typically afflict people earlier in life than heart disease or stroke. We've made considerable progress in fighting childhood mortality across the globe in recent decades, but there's still much work left to be done. Via Dr. Stefan Gruenwald
