About us
About us
Interestingly all humans are more than 99% similar in their genetic make-up. From the remaining 1% variants in the DNA bases contribute to the appearance, character, behaviour and habit of an individual. A small fraction of these variants contributes to the genetic disorder of a human.
GeneAura, very meticulously and robustly identifies and curates these very minute changes which may be the reason behind the disease causing potential of a gene. This is achieved by interactive brainstorming sessions between experts from the field of medicine, genetics, computers and research.
We believe everyone should have access to their genetic information to enable them and their physician to make informed decisions about a treatment protocol. This helps in personalizing their treatment regimen by matching an individual’s aura to their gene’s aura.
