"Indian doctor duo make DNA horoscopes at birth.  doctor duo from Trivandrum
have developed a technique to map the DNA sequencing of human beings so as
to predict their future tendencies and also help fight diseases. Ajit Kumar
and Arun Kumar, both genetic experts from the city's main state-run
hospitals, have developed the "Nano Geneseq Chip", which analyses the entire
future genetic proposition of a human at birth itself. In layman terms the
computer can, to almost 100 percent accuracy, predict how a child will
grow-right from its height, color and other physical attributes to his
eating habits and even romantic tendencies. Named 'NANOGENESEQ', the chip
analyses the DNA samples of newborns, taken either from blood, spinal cord
or saliva, effectively making a 'genetic horoscope' of the baby. (WebIndia
