As we recieve news of multiple heart attacks this Navratri, the latest being 10 deaths in 24 hrs of individuals ranging from preteens to seniors post Garba - we should realize the importance of research on the disproportionate incidence of heart disease among South Asians

Exciting news from Orchid! Today, we're announcing the world's first whole genome embryo reports. This is a massive upgrade – 100x the amount of data – and a major leap in reproductive tech. And the best part, it's now available at IVF centers across the nation.

Who said that the inactive X (Xi) is inactive ? Xi and Y affect the expression of thousands of autosomal genes. Their effects are similar and due to a pair of TFs.

Another organ transplant frontier broken: mind-blowing that the donor kidneys showed successful integration with the host fetus' blood vessels and no transplant rejection even after birth nature.com/articles/d4158…

It shocked me when I learnt that >75% of #GWAS exclude the X chr, and~99% the Y -- partly because the higher freq of repetitive regions makes profiling them difficult, but mostly because sex-specific analyses are increasingly nuanced + time-consuming nature.com/immersive/sex-…

Do bakers daydream about leaving their job to do a PhD in molecular biology?

There are few that can evoke a rollercoaster of emotions with their writing, their prose true art. And Maria Popova's The Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings) still takes me on a whirlwind emotional journey every Wednesday, 10+ years since I discovered it themarginalian.org/2022/05/17/bee…

Epigenetic age clocks was one of the first new areas of research topics I was introduced to when I started my PhD. These molecular age clocks still amaze me, and as I got to know recently through BioTwin, my biological age = chronological age 🙆🏽‍♀️ nature.com/articles/d4158…
