Attempts at dividing India: Study claims Malayali DNA similar to caucasian

[darkinsky]

Sequencing of a Malayali genome reveals similarities with Caucasians



At a recent conference on Next Generation Sequencing at Thiruvananthapuram, it was revealed that preliminary analysis (unpublished data) of the Malayali genome shows great similarity with Caucasian genome (white race) as against Chinese or African genomes. Additionally, several novel variations in the genome have been identified which may help in understanding predisposition to certain diseases.

The sequencing effort was led by Dr. Ravi Gupta and his team at the Kochi-based SciGenomics Labs in close collaboration with Dr. Stephan Suschter’s laboratory at Pennsylvania State University, USA.

Since first human genome was sequenced in 2001, we are trying to understand how humans have evolved and what makes us different from other species. Such studies show how different races might be closer rather than otherwise thought.

Moreover, the use of genomic information is important for developing drugs targeted for specific genetic disorders or rare diseases. Even though the gap between basic research and clinical applications based on genome sequencing is still huge due to complexity of the biological interactions which goes beyond simple DNA base pairing, it is undoubtedly the first crucial step towards better understanding of evolution as well as beginning of personalized medicine for human kind.

you guys know you complex, that you guys are not as fair as white guys, i understand how it feels, but thats the reality, the skin complexion doesnt matter,the day you guys become richer then white skinned europe, the day the white guys will try to test scientific ways to relate their race to your race, the time you guys become more advanced and civilised then them and doesnt really mean copying them, pakistan also has share of dark people but we dont like to copy westerns in our media,you guys do

Kerala never had to face the ugly partition fallout. They were always in "favor" of the "empire". After the rest of us won the freedom for them, they decided to tag along. It has always kept itself insulted from the rest of India. To date, there is a dogged determination in Kerala to resist learning hindi. Instead, they favor English and Malayalam......they also have no qualms about consuming beef.

Hindi is taught even in state school syllabus from lower primary schools... your verbal diarrhea is funny though.

And beef, well all meat is allowed in this state.

you guys know you complex,

we guys know what complex? That shopping complex next to that Cinemas?

that you guys are not as fair as white guys,

If we are fair as white guys , we will also be white guys..lets try other colors like purple,magenta, dark grey.

i understand how it feels,

oh dear.

but thats the reality, the skin complexion doesnt matter,the day you guys become richer then white skinned europe, the day the white guys will try to test scientific ways to relate their race to your race, the time you guys become more advanced and civilised then them and doesnt really mean copying them, pakistan also has share of dark people but we dont like to copy westerns in our media,you guys do

i will decipher whats written in a day or two. Im good in cryptography.

Even in this forum Malayalis and remaining Indians don't look eye to eye. They already consider themselves "different" due to their "high HDI"..." "95 % literacy"...etc. I know this is a minor news item and doesn't necessarily imply much. But still, the motives for conducting such studies are questionable.

This http://www.defence.pk/forums/indian-defence/166419-kerala-model-probably-right-way-forward.html

- thread is proof enough.

Malayalees are proud of their achievement, but that does not mean we dont see eye to eye with remaining Indians. Malayalees are settled in every nook and corner of the country and have successfully mingled with the society.

Pls don't apply Kerala standards to other states. Kerala never had to face brunt of the atrocities, invasions and colonizations that states like UP,MP etc bore through the centuries.

so Vasco Da Gama and Tipu Sultan tried to peck you on the cheek,is it?

Thats not true, they all learn hindi and it is not too hard.They are survivors and they survive anywhere and everywhere.They are represented bigtime in Central Government and other white collar places.

Beef,yeah but i know many mallus who dont even eat mutton in restaurants because it could be mixed with beef.

Most of these funded-studies are having political motivations and whenever race is mentioned, there's always a stench of outsiders trying to pollute our fabric with their skin-color-oriented concepts.

Do you mean the people who invented 'Varna'

That's right. Both Chinese and Indians are closer to Africans than we are to each other.

Absolutely wrong! There is more genetic variation among native Africans than among people of all other races. That's because all of are descendents of this small African tribe that all of a sudden decided the world is theirs!

Nowadays, I also hear that Australoids evolved from another group of Africans that left the continent earlier.

Their acts are negligible infront of what Islamic invaders did in North India. Timur sacked Delhi and killed all its inhabitants so much so that its said that Yamuna turned red with blood of the victims. Somnath temple was destroyed six times. Then there there was the incident during Akbar's time (forgot its name) when all Rajput men died fighting the Mogul Army and all their women committed Sati at the same time. Kerala or in that case TN never had to face such type of brutal acts. Also during the colonial era, I believe our Kings was an effective buffer b/n them and the local people and the Kings cared for the welfare of the people which explains the gold cache found at the Thiruvananthapuram temple.

This article is from some ignorant Phd instructed in some science out of this world.
first of all, there is the human genome, and there is no such thing outside of it. this confirms my belief based on scientific proofs that there is only one human race and specie. The differences in colours, forms and shapes of the human body is the result of human interaction/adaptation with/to geography; Black African people have large nooses, enabling them to inhale more oxygen in the heat of Africa, and Nordic people have small noses to protect their lungs from the sub zero temperature air they have to breath.
The same goes for the relationship between the skin colour and the amount of solar rays it has to absorb, dark colours absorb less light while white colours absorb more. It all about the adaptation for survival.
This shows again how God is great and why we Muslims say "In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate". in recognition of his grace an compassion for all his creatures.

I understand what you mean but it is a little bit too much exagerated; how can someone destroy something 6 times over!

 

[ApparentRaceTraitor]

Silly topic. In any case, what purpose does research like this serve?

I understand what you mean but it is a little bit too much exagerated; how can someone destroy something 6 times over!

The Somnath Temple (Gujarati: સોમનાથ મંદિર Sanskrit: सोमनाथ मन्दि&#2352 located in the Prabhas Kshetra near Veraval in Saurashtra, on the western coast of Gujarat, India, is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of the God Shiva. Somnath means "The Protector of (the) Moon God". The Somnath Temple is known as "the Shrine Eternal", having been destroyed six times and rebuilt six times

the only person who knows a thing or 2 about genetics. absolutely correct! the entire world population has a similar genome and this can be traced to a small african genetic sample. africans however have the most variation in their genomes among each other and are more genetically diverse than EVERY other race/population.

ALL of our genomes (pakistani, indian, chinese etc.) excluding Africans are NOT very different from each other. but the phenotypes (appearances) are very diverse.

LOL, didn't you see the diagram in my post?

It clearly shows that humans originated in Africa, so I have no idea what you are arguing about.

You are saying that I am wrong, yet you are agreeing with what is shown in the diagram, and what is being said in my posts.
