Why are men more likely to be colorblind than women?

The answer is written into our chromosomes.
The genes for red–green color vision sit on the X chromosome. Men have only one X, so if that gene is faulty, colorblindness appears. Women usually have a second X as a backup, reducing the chances.
A small genetic difference—yet it changes how millions of people see the world.

Why can Sherpas climb Everest with ease while others gasp for air? 🏔️

The answer lies deep in our DNA.
Communities like Sherpas and Tibetans have lived at extreme altitudes for thousands of years, allowing their genes to adapt to low-oxygen environments. These genetic changes help their bodies use oxygen more efficiently and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.

Genomics helps us uncover these incredible evolutionary stories and shows us that human evolution is still ongoing.

Some cancers are influenced by inherited changes in our DNA.

Certain genetic variants, such as mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, can increase the risk of cancers like breast and ovarian cancer. Genomic sequencing helps identify these risks early, enabling timely screening and preventive care.

Genomics also supports cancer treatment — by helping doctors match therapies to the specific genetic changes present in a tumor.

It’s not about fear.
It’s about understanding risk, planning ahead, and making informed choices.

Why does the same diet work for some but not for others?

Your genes play a role in how you process food, store fat, and feel hunger. Some genetic variants influence sugar cravings, while others affect how quickly you burn calories. But DNA isn’t destiny. Lifestyle, sleep, stress, and daily habits can switch these tendencies on or off.

That’s why one-size-fits-all diets rarely work. Genomics helps decode your unique biology, so your health choices are informed, personal, and effective.

Speed is part science, part sweat.

Genes like ACTN3 can influence muscle power and fast-twitch fibers—but champions aren’t built by DNA alone.

Training, nutrition, discipline, and mindset turn potential into performance.
Genomics helps explain why some bodies respond better to certain sports.
