Molecular Medicine Made Easy In Poetry

Rating: 5.0


This is the era of molecular medicine
If you are not in it, you are out of fashion
Every disease now has genetic notion
From colo-rectal cancers to disturbed emotion

Everyone is talking about DNA
Which could be obtained from victim or prey
Policemen, judges, fear we allay
We will get the culprit who is astray

Who have not heard of Jurassic Park?
The famous movie which scored a high mark
Mosquitoes, elephants, man or macaque
We can get your DNA in daylight or dark!

Molecular medicine is the in-thing
The terms used are sometimes confusing
Consensus sequences and alternative splicing
Exons, introns are just the beginning

LOH, SSCP, and gene rearrangement
Upstream, downstream and cellular disjunction
When the offspring get it, is germline mutation
When the bases are deleted is frameshift mutation

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

It has taken thousands of years for a particular virus, SIV to get mutated to find the right host in the human body. It attacked all cells, couldn't have done much harm, but the CD4 cell respond to the mutated virus, which is called as 'HIV1', because this HIV1 reentered into the primitives and emerged as the HIV2. Nice to read your poem about molecular biology..
