A decade ago, physicians learned to interpret ECGs and CT scans. Today, they must learn to interpret genomes. Genomics in Internal Medicine bridges the gap between genetic reports and clinical decision-making—without requiring a PhD in genetics.

Your genome is the most valuable dataset you own. Most people still have no idea what’s inside it.

Congo’s Bundibugyo Ebola Outbreak May Be Far Larger Than Reported Two independent estimation methods suggest the true outbreak size may be 400–800 cases, with over 1000 possible. Findings indicate substantial under-detection and wider transmission, www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-i...

DNA Forecast: A New Way to Spot Heart Risk Early Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a genetic test that predicts risk for eight major heart-related conditions using a polygenic risk score. By analyzing many DNA variants, it identifies people at high risk www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...

Imagine doing everything “right.” You eat reasonably well, you stay active, you don’t smoke. And yet, your cholesterol stays stubbornly high—sometimes very high. For many people, this isn’t about willpower or lifestyle. It’s about genetics. geknowmics.karkinos.in/2026/01/22/t...

Wellness DNA tests have become incredibly popular. With a simple saliva sample, you can receive reports that claim to reveal everything from your ideal diet to your fitness “type,” vitamin needs, and even some health risks. geknowmics.karkinos.in/2026/01/20/w...

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how your genes affect the way your body responds to medicines. In simple terms, it helps explain why the same drug can work well for one person, cause side effects in another, and do very little for someone else. geknowmics.karkinos.in/2026/01/13/w...

Whole genome sequencing now costs less than a smartphone, reads 3B letters, and flags disease risk years early. Surprise: your DNA is stable—medicine isn’t.

Whole Genome Sequencing benefits everyone. It uncovers genetic risks, predicts treatment responses, and enables evidence-based prevention. More than a test, it is a once-in-a-lifetime resource that can guide truly personalized care across your entire lifespan.

Chemotherapy is a double edged sword and while effective against a number of cancers, and often the first line of therapy in many, can cause significant genetic mutations in healthy cells, and sometimes increased risk of new cancers over a long time. 1/2

Whole-genome sequencing of 2,762 Indians has unravelled the layers of ancestry, high intermixing with Neanderthals and Denisovans. This along with high endogamy in India could potentially result in harmful mutations in some groups. share.google/EzZEcHF47IdT...
