The days between Christmas and New Year feel oddly disconnected, like time has lost its structure. That feeling has a biological basis. Your circadian rhythm relies on light exposure, routine, meal timing and sleep consistency. When those cues disappear, your internal clock drifts. #DIPLOMICS
Cream, custard, chocolate, milk, festive food leans heavily on dairy.
But being able to digest milk as an adult is not the biological default.
Most humans stop producing lactase after childhood. Only people with a specific genetic mutation continue digesting lactose into adulthood.

Today is World Breast Cancer Research Day, highlighting the vital role of science in saving lives. Omics research is changing our understanding of breast cancer by uncovering mutations, mapping tumour evolution, and identifying biomarkers for early detection and treatment. #CancerResearch #DIPLOMICS
Not all facts in science are common knowledge.
Some make you sit up, pause… and pull on the thread.
These lesser-known truths from the world of omics won’t just surprise you, they might just change how you see life on Earth.

It’s true, humans share around 60% of their DNA with bananas. That doesn’t mean we’re fruit, but it does show how all life on Earth is genetically connected.
At DIPLOMICS, we explore these shared codes to unlock discoveries across species, from plants to people.

What if your DNA held clues about how long you’ll live?
Genomics is revealing fascinating links between our genes and how we age, but it’s not the whole story. Here’s what science can (and can’t) tell you about your future.

Did you know we can sequence the DNA of species that went extinct thousands of years ago? From Neanderthals to mammoths, ancient DNA reveals how these species lived, adapted, and evolved, and even how their legacy lives on in us.

From the quiet rhythm of your heartbeat to the colour of a coral reef, DNA holds the blueprint for life as we know it. Across every genome sequenced, every mutation mapped, and every ecosystem explored, lies a chance to decode the past and design a more informed, equitable future. #DNAday #DIPLOMICS
Last week, DIPLOMICS and NRF-SAIAB officially launched the newest EAGR lab at Walter Sisulu University as part of our ongoing mission to expand genomics infrastructure and training access through spatial transformation.
