Every time you sit for a Puja, the poojari asks you for your GOTRA. why?

Gotra is simply the science of Genetics aka Gene Mapping

What is the Gotra system?

Why do we have this system of Gotras?

Why do we consider the knowledge of one's Gotra to be so important to decide marriages?

Why should only Sons carry the Gotra of father, why not Daughters?

How / Why does Gotra of a Daughter change after she gets married? What is the logic?
(3/10) This is an amazing & ancient genetic science followed in Sanatana Dharma for centuries!

The word GOTRA is formed from two Sanskrit words, GAU (meaning, Cow) and TRAHI (meaning, Shed).

GOTRA means Cow-shed. GOTRA is like a cowshed protecting a particular male lineage.

#RareDiseaseDay
Over a third of people living with a #RareCondition
will wait for more than five years to obtain a
definitive #diagnosis, often receiving a number of
#misdiagnoses along the way

The ‘diagnostic odyssey’ is a term used to describe the time taken between a patient first developing #symptoms and receiving a correct #MedicalDiagnosis. This can be a long and eventful journey.

"The promise & peril of the Bio Revolution"

"...the world cheered [] that 3 #gene-based COVID19 #vaccines – 1 developed by German #biotech co. BioNTech in collab. w/ Pfizer, another by [] biotech firm Moderna, & a 3rd by [] AstraZeneca – had proved effective in clinical trials."
"But in October, researchers revealed that off-target effects of the #CRISPR-Cas9 #gene-editing tool used to repair a blindness-causing gene in the early stages of human #embryo development often eliminated an entire #chromosome or a large part of it."

#BioengineeringEconomy
"Our deepening knowledge of #biology#genes, #microbiomes, & neural signals – is making it increasingly possible to "engineer life."... #gene drives applied to infectious-disease vectors [] could save many lives, but we may not be able to control them."

Data Needs A Home:

🧬The population of every DNA word is equivalent to the population of its reverse-complement DNA word in the SINGLE-STRANDED human genome

🧬Population count of 1.4 trillion DNA words

🧬Does anyone want a copy of this data before files are deleted?

#Genomics
Can You Use This #Data?

🧬Demonstrates the inherent inversion symmetry structure for all DNA elements in the single-stranded genome

🧬Demonstrates the absence of analog symmetries between reverse pairs and complement pairs of DNA elements

Do You Know Anyone 🏷 Who Can Use This Data?

🧬The number of times every #DNA element (1-nt to 20-nt) occurs in the single-stranded genome

🧬This inversion symmetry structure is also maintained at the level of each individual #chromosome, except chromosome M (mitochondrial DNA)
