Genome

How is the uniqueness caused ?

The base A should always pair with the base T and the base C should always pair with base G. Sometimes, the bases don’t align properly, instead of a C there is A or instead of T there is a G. This can sometimes be good, and sometimes be bad. Some people have special skin, or beautiful eyes. However, the mutation can sometimes be dangerous. The mutation can cause diseases that are passed down generations. For example if your grandfather suffered from eye disease, then there is every chance that you too may suffer from it.

Difference between normal person and the diseased person

A wonderful opportunity for medicine

The traditional method of medical treatment of human beings has been through the method of trial and error. The trial and error has sometimes caused adverse side effects to many people whose bodies rejected the prescribed medicines outright.

Medical fraternity for long didn’t understand that every individual is unique. The decoding of human genome is going to change it all. Now every patient can carry his report of their genome and doctors will quickly identify which gene is malfunctioning. They will be given treatment accordingly.
