The genomic research processes were focused on limited data, until recently. In the last few decades, advances in genomic sequencing have facilitated the research processes with plethora of evolutionary data. In the arena of human genomics, it has fundamentally challengedthe way diagnosis and medici ...

What’s Your Risk for COVID-19 Infection?The headline on every news channel, the topic of every dinner-table conversation, the current state of global health and economics is exclusively revolved around the COVID-19 pandemic. The world as we know has been demarcated by the ‘Pre-COVID Era’ and ...

A healthy human body is composed of thousands of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, collectively known as the microbiome. Recent studies have made significant progress in characterizing gut microbiome structure, which has paved the way for its influence on our health.  The microbiome is essential fo ...

ACTN3 is just one among more than 20,000 genes in the human body. But it’s a special gene all the same for its link with athletic abilities. The R variant of ACTN3 instructs the body to produce a protein, alpha-actinin-3, found specifically in fast-twitch muscles. Those muscles are suited for spee ...

Analysis predicts that the global genetic industry is going to grow at a CAGR of 9.65% from  2014-2019. Some of the major segments like pharmacogenomics, diagnostic testing, and personal genomics are expected to make the most contributions to the revenue of the overall market in the upcoming years. ...

“Rice is bad for weight!”  But have you wondered that many rice eater communities, in fact, have leaner frames? Why is that? I hear you say, “It is in their genes”. Yes, it is how their genes react to the rice. So basically, rice is not the problem, but there is Nutrigenomics at play h ...

2611 BC – Ancient Egypt:  As Imoteph laid on the Ancient Operation Slab, fatigued from his disease symptoms, a ‘Healer’ handed him a mixture of bloodstone, red grain, and carob, cooked in oil. “Take it in the next 4 mornings with honey”, said the Doctor. Another healer walked up to Imo ...
