Indian doctor duo make DNA horoscopes at birth

A doctor duo from Trivandrum have
developed a technique to map the DNA
sequencing of human beings so as to
predict their future tendencies and
also help fight diseases.
Ajit Kumar and Arun Kumar, both
genetic experts from the city's main
state-run hospitals, have developed
the "Nano Geneseq Chip", which
analyses the entire future genetic
proposition of a human at birth
itself. In layman terms the computer
can, to almost 100 percent accuracy,
predict how a child will grow-right
from its height, colour and other
physical attributes to his eating
habits and even romantic tendencies.
Named 'NANOGENESEQ', the chip
analyses the DNA samples of newborns,
taken either from blood, spinal cord
or saliva, effectively making a
'genetic horoscope' of the baby.
"This chip is a great miracle and it
will be a miracle for medical
science, in fact in every areas like
HIV, genetic areas and cancer. Our
main aim is to bring out a genital
gene card. By birth of a baby, one
can analyse the DNA and sort out
diseases that may occur during
lifespan," Ajit Kumar, the man behind
the miracle discovery, said. Needless
to say, the medical world is excited
about the young doctors' findings
which will revolutionise the very
concept of health care in the world.
Doctors say with the genetic layout
at their disposal, they would be able
to predict and treat a range of
disorders, most importanty HIV/AIDS
and cancer.
"It will be highly useful in
diagnosing critical DNA segments
which can be amplified so that it is
useful to develop noval drugs used to
treat diseases like HIV, cancer and
other genetic disorders,"
Lohithananda Swami, Director of
Ramakrishna hospital, said.
Kumar and Swami's invention has
received praise from all over the
world including the U.S.
President George W.Bush, had sent
them a letter of felicitation.
The young doctors have also secured
the patent rights for their discovery
and the product will be ready for
commercialization in another two to
three months after slight fine-
tuning.
The duo are in advanced negotiations
with U.S-based nano-tech majors to
globally commercialize the product
through a multi-million dollar
invested collaborative research and
development centre and to start a
nano tech training institute,
possibly the first of its kind in
South East Asia. Nanogeneseq chip is
also used in computer chip
industries, holographic movie camera,
industries, cell phones etc. It is
about 200 times more powerful than
the current analyzer. It has longer
life span and power consumption is
reduced to a minimum.(ANI)

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not so send peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
- Matthew 10:34-36.
