Less than a month ago, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) when it affected more than 100,000 people in 114 countries. As of today, April 7, there are over 1,000,000  cases in close to 200 countries. An unprecedented explosion in the number of cases in as little as 20 days is nothing short of terrifying. 

Ever since its outbreak in December 2019, scientists have been racing to understand the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, also called nCoV19). While we know this is the deadliest pandemic the world has seen since the Spanish influenza of 1918, what we don’t really know is just how dangerous this virus is. It appears there are more questions than there are answers. For example: How did the virus make the jump from animals to humans? How does it spread undetected without causing any symptoms right away? Why does it prematurely end the lives of some, but not the others? These are some of the questions keeping virologists occupied presently. 

The basics: How viruses work

As a string of RNA molecules packed tightly in a protein coat, all viruses function the same. Enter a host cell, hijack its internal machinery, repurpose it to produce viral components, replicate, and once new viruses are made with the host’s help, release to infect other cells. Most viruses work as simple as that. 

Coronaviruses, belonging to the complex ‘coronaviridae’ family, are known for their proteins that stick out from the outer lipid layer. These ‘spike’ proteins are considered critical as they help the virus anchor to the host’s cell. Particularly, the spikes interact with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) of the host to gain access to the cell, and for this, it gets the help of a host cell protein, the transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2). On entering the cell, nCoV19 works like other viruses to produce new infectious particles.  

Why infections from animals pose a huge problem

Infections that affect animals are generally harmless to humans. However, some viruses do cross the species barrier and cause ‘zoonotic diseases’. COVID-19 is one perfect example. Such zoonotic infections are deadly because we lack pre-existing immunity to them and are unable to fight it off as efficiently. Most such infections that come from animals rarely spread from one person to the next. However, nCoV19 seems to be better evolved and adapted at this and spread between individuals. 

Genetics of nCoV19: Just how threatening is it?

As the cases started growing rapidly, researchers in China sequenced the genome of nCoV19 and labs around the world got to work. The genome of the virus, made of RNA and not DNA, carries 15 genes in 30,000 bases. It was found to be similar (~80%) to its sister virus that caused the SARS outbreak in 2003. Both viruses seemed to have jumped from bats (96% similarity to bat coronavirus). Genome analysis suggests that this is a one-time jump, as the genome appears stable and not mutating further. The nCoV19 poses a huge problem because it reproduces so quickly without evoking an immune response from the host. This makes containing the spread of the virus unimaginably difficult.  

Thanks to advancements in genomics, we now know a lot about nCoV19 in a short span of a few weeks. For example, genome comparison studies suggest that the novel coronavirus is a chimera of two pre-existing viruses. Such recombination is not unheard of. But it would occur only if the two different viruses affect a host simultaneously under a set of unique conditions. Owing to the rare occurrence, labs are now trying to confirm the preliminary findings.

The reason for bias: Why the severity of symptoms differ

The majority of COVID-19 cases develop flu-like symptoms and a little over 70% of the people recover on their own. However, 1 in 6 people develop shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. In yet some cases, healthy people with no symptoms are diagnosed with COVID-19.  This selective nature of nCoV19 has left virologists perplexed and they are turning to genetics for an answer. 

1. Genetic variations: Does yours protect you?

As of today, theories favor the differences in the genetic makeup of individuals that make them more or less susceptible to being infected by nCoV19. For instance, certain variants of the ACE2 gene may alter the receptor to which the spike proteins bind. This may render it difficult for the virus to gain entry into the host cells. This theory is plausible because an example of such effects could be seen in the case of HIV. A variation in the CCR5 gene profoundly affected the entry of HIV and made the individuals carrying the variation resilient to infection. Another example stems from variations in the HBB gene. This gene encodes a subunit of a protein that’ll be a part of hemoglobin (the oxygen carrying component of our red blood cells). Particular variants of HBB make individuals carrying them less susceptible to infection by malaria-causing parasites.

Considering these examples, scientists are also wondering if variations in genes that influence immune responses might have a part to play in the difference. 

Presently, all of this remains a conjecture. Efforts are now underway to pool genetic data from across the globe, ranging from DNA of individuals in severely hit places to those with mild infections of COVID-19 to better understand the role of genetics in the uncharacteristic behavior of coronavirus.

A Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) by 23andMe

To understand if the severity of the disease reflects variations in the genome, 23andMe is actively recruiting hundreds of thousands of its customers across the United States. The researchers at 23andMe are planning an online survey followed by a GWAS. This will help analyze the key genetic variants associated with the differences in the severity of the symptoms. While they are optimistic, they forewarn that identifying the role of genetics in symptom-severity is not assured. 

2. Is it all in the viral exposure?

Other researchers support the concept of ‘viral load’ i.e. the dose of the virus at the time of exposure. A higher viral load would translate to a severe case, while a lower dose can be easily fought off by the immune system and does not cause severe symptoms. However, emerging evidence suggests that the relationship between the infection and severity may not be so simple either. This makes COVID-19 stand out from other such viruses. Minimizing exposure to the virus still helps as our immune system is efficient to take down lower loads of nCoV19. 

Death rate: Do we have an answer yet?

Despite performing reams of research and analyzing a spell of data from different countries, we still don’t have an answer. The estimates are wide, with mortality ranging from as low as 1 in 1000 to as threatening as 1 in 30. There appears to be no defined answer, with the fatality rate different in each country. Italy has a death rate of 12% while in Germany, it’s 1%. The difference in the rate could be attributed to the age group of the population affected. The first few cases affected in Italy were the older people, while in Germany most cases affected were under the age of 40.

However, the statistics don’t give us a general estimate of how many infected people will lose their lives to the infection. One important question to ask in this scenario is – how many people are left undiagnosed because they show no, or if at all, mild symptoms? When antibody tests are approved, we may be able to estimate the missed cases. But for now, we don’t know just how fatal COVID-19 is. 

Strike two: Getting COVID-19 the second time

Thousands of people have recovered from coronavirus. Does that mean they are immune for life? Or can they catch the disease again? Several reports in China and Japan have identified second positives for nCoV19. This caused panic among people, as it meant that unless a vaccine is in place, we may all be subjected to nCoV19 multiple times. To study this, a group of scientists tried to reinfect four rhesus macaque after their first infection. Surprisingly, they were immune the second time around. This gave hope as immunity could be established against nCoV19. However, there’s not been enough time to analyze the immunity to nCoV19. Scientists are not certain for how long the immune responses clad us with protection against COVID-19.  

Alcohol use and COVID-19: A major concern?

Ever since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, the sale of alcohol has been on the constant rise. As the stressful time has made most people fragile, many psychologists are worried about the overuse of alcohol and the toll it could take on the immune system. Along with the risk of mental health issues, alcohol would also make people more susceptible to infection by nCoV19, by compromising their immunity. In fact, it has become so much of a concern that WHO has issued a warning against the excessive use of alcohol, especially during the pandemic.

COVID-19: Does it wane as season changes?

Winters generally see the peak in flu cases for a few reasons. First, viruses love the cold, dry weather. Second, the immune system is not at it’s best due to minimal sunlight exposure. Could this be the case with COVID-19? The evidence is conflicting but the WHO warns that the virus is capable of spreading in hot and humid weather. A study conducted in China which agrees with WHO identified that nCoV19 is suited to spread in warm temperatures. However, a large-scale study of cases till February 29 found a lower incidence of disease onset in regions that have a higher temperature. Scientists believe that an accurate prediction of seasonality is possible only by keeping track of the number of cases as the season changes. 

Vaccines: When can we expect them?

Like all viruses, nCoV19 requires hosts’ living cells to survive. The main strategy with the vaccines is to nudge the body and alert the presence of a pathogen and letting our immune system take care of the rest. Alternatively, interfering with any step of the viral replication will be helpful too. So then, if we know how a virus can be stopped, why is it taking so long? It is because there is so much more that we’re not sure of. More importantly, we have to keep the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in mind. In the words of a scientist at Mayo Clinic, ‘We’re building the plane as we’re flying’. 

Usually, developing a vaccine takes years. Thanks to the scientists working at breakneck speed in the labs around the world, we may be able to get a vaccine in as short as 12-18 months. 

We now have several vaccine candidates, all of which are currently under trial. To date, there is no one vaccine to treat/stop the spread of the virus. Therefore, it has become all the more important to have good immunity to be able to fight off the incoming pathogen. Taking care of your immune system, the resilient force of your body is the way to go especially in the face of threats like the COVID-19.

Xcode Life COVID-19 Gene Report Walkthrough

With the vague sound of audience’s cheering in the background, the athlete races forward, running, trying to make it first to the finish line. He has blocked every sound, every sense, and is only focused on his feet pushing the ground hard and propelling him forward. To take down the ribbon at the end of the line before anyone else reaches it. While others would normally feel exhaustion – physically and mentally, the athlete moves on and pushes forward, racing towards the finish line. What made him press on and remain active in the ground when his muscles were aching with pain? Endurance. Now, while he is relentless about his pursuit, some runners stop at hydration stations for energy drinks. Why is that? Do these drinks really give them more energy and boost their performance in the race? Let’s find out. 

What’s all the buzz about endurance and electrolytes? 

Endurance is the ability to exert oneself and withstand the challenge for a long time. It is a key factor in many sports. Marathon is a good test of endurance. It not only trains you to run faster but also extends the amount of time you can run at your optimal speed. Having a better endurance response implies that your muscles are designed for repetitive work, to withstand the challenge for a longer period of time.

Endurance athletes reach for sports drinks after their time on the field, to stay hydrated and to replenish electrolytes lost. You may have heard of electrolytes mentioned before, particularly if you’re into fitness. So, what are they? What’s the fuss all about?

Electrolytes are important minerals that help your body maintain a stable internal environment. Particularly, they are essential for the proper functioning of your muscles and nerves. There are many different electrolytes, but the most important ones are sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. They are crucial for the proper functioning of the body and any imbalance in the electrolyte level can have serious consequences. 

Sports drinks vs energy drinks

One-third of adolescents in the United States consume sports drinks and 15% consume energy drinks on a weekly basis, shows a study conducted in 2014.  

Sports drinks:

These contain carbohydrates, electrolytes, sugars, and some vitamins. The primary cause of concern lies in the flavoring and coloring agents used, because these are known to cause cancer among several other illness. The side effects of too much sports drinks are discussed in the following sections. Sports drinks generally contain two-thirds of the calories present in sodas. They were initially developed for athletes to replace electrolytes lost after an intense workout in the field. But, many individuals who consume these are not athletes and this is another cause for concern that is addressed later. 

Energy drinks:

Energy drinks contain stimulants like caffeine, taurine, and guarana where the real harm lies. Also, most energy drinks contain thrice the amount of caffeine that is normally present in sodas. Kids, teens, and young adults under 25 contribute close to $5 billion of the total $10 billion of the market. This has raised so much of an alarm, that a separate code was assigned by the American Association of Poison Control to track overdose incidents caused by energy drinks. The side effects of the overdose are shocking; it ranges from liver damage and seizures to even death. 

Do sports drinks help endurance?

When racing on the ground, athletes lose fluids and electrolytes, whose levels the body is so carefully trying to balance. When electrolytes are lost, muscle contraction is no longer smooth. Too much of electrolyte imbalance can put the health at risk. To keep a good momentum and race towards the finish line, athletes have been known to take electrolytes and sports drinks. Electrolytes are important for a fluent muscle contraction that athletes will need when on the ground. But, do sports drink actually minimize the electrolyte levels lost? A study doesn’t think so. 

Research shows that while taking electrolyte supplements and sports drinks help in replacing the essential electrolytes lost during workouts, they actually do very little to boost the performance or preclude an impending illness. A Stanford University study conducted on 266 ultramarathoners shows that electrolyte supplements are exaggerated in their claims about giving energy the athletes need for the race. The study was conducted on the rough terrains of South America where ultramarathoners ran in extreme weather conditions for 155 miles over a 7-day period. The blood work and physical stature measurement of the athletes were taken prior to the race along with information about the electrolyte supplements use. 

Over 95% of ultramarathoners take electrolyte supplements before the race begins, and 90% of them reach for sports drinks. 

The researchers checked the electrolyte levels of the ultramarathoners after 50 miles. One group had taken the electrolyte supplement before the race, while the other group did not. The marathoners who took electrolyte supplements showed a fall in their electrolyte levels, almost similar to those who did not take the supplements. Surprisingly, some marathoners had an increased sodium level in their body due to dehydration coupled with electrolyte supplementation, while others had a drop in their sodium levels. The electrolyte supplements had little to no influence to replenish the lost levels. 

The authors of the study indicated that staying hydrated and having a balanced nutritious diet with a pinch of extra salt (rich in sodium) will help balance the electrolytes. Drinking a glass of milk after workouts will give you the sodium, exactly the same amount that some sports drinks give. 

Another downside is that most sports drinks are taken by individuals who are not athletes. Drinking too much can cause tooth decay in young adults. They are also the cause of obesity, especially in children, shows a study. Additionally, sports drinks use food dyes like Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5. These are known to cause cancer, among other ill effects on health. Isn’t the price a little too high to pay? Especially when the benefits, that the sports drinks claim to offer, can be achieved from other safe options? Like coconut water and salty snacks. 

How can you improve endurance? 

What has genetics got to say? 

“I’ve worked hard throughout my entire life, but I don’t think all the hard work could have produced the same results without all the genetics I was given”

– Odell Beckham, Jr.

This quote by the famous American football player powerfully captures the importance of genes for athletic performance. Understanding the genetic architecture of athletic performance is an important step for an optimal training regimen. The capacity to perform endurance exercise is influenced by a number of factors, many relating to cellular metabolism and cardiovascular function. 

A 2015 study revealed at least 77 genetic markers associated with endurance. Some of these variants result in a better endurance response and make your muscles more suitable for repetitive work like high repetition weight training or longer duration cardio sessions. These genes influence endurance aspects such as the type of fuel used by the cells for energy production, the percentage distribution of muscle fibers (slow twitch and fast twitch), and the adaptability of the blood vessels to carry more oxygen. Some variants help you withstand challenges and make your better at endurance-based activities, while other variants are not very favorable for endurance. For example:

ACE gene

Angiotensin I converting enzyme, also called ACE gene, is important for balancing electrolytes and regulating blood pressure in the body. One particular variant of this gene, rs4343, causes a G>A transition. A change to the A allele increased the effects of ACE gene activity, thereby improving the regulation of blood pressure and electrolytes which are key for maintaining endurance.

ACTN3 gene

This gene encodes the Actinin Alpha 3 protein and is primarily expressed in the skeletal muscles. Variants of this gene influence athletic performance. One variant of this gene rs1815739, causes a transition from T>C allele. This variant, however, influences contraction and interferes with muscular endurance, causing performance to suffer.

Let’s take a look at the lifestyle aspects

Long-distance running is a sport that requires muscular endurance. During a race, a marathon runner’s body performs the same movement and stride, over and over again. With each stride, the quads and calf muscles undergo ‘eccentric’ contractions: momentum forces the muscles to lengthen, even as you try to shorten them to push off again. Low endurance levels can result in a steady accumulation of microscopic damage to the muscle fibers. 

The following tips can help in building endurance:

Summary

Sports drinks help in hydration and replenishment of electrolytes, and is therefore the go-to drink before and after a workout. Athletes can drink plenty of water and eat salty snacks before a race, instead of sports drinks, to help balance their electrolyte levels. If, however, they do prefer sports drinks, taking them only after an intense session is a good option. For individuals who are not athletes, it’s best not to reach out for such sports/energy drinks often as their ill effects far outweigh the benefits. Coconut water, or even plain water, is the best option when it comes to staying hydrated and having balanced electrolyte levels. 

When it comes to endurance, sports drinks don’t offer much benefits. Changes to exercise and diet will help improve endurance. Endurance also brings with it a host of health benefits apart from making you better at sports. Having certain genetic variants will certainly work to your advantage!

Remember the feeling when you first clicked with someone? The instant connection, as if you’ve known them for a long time. It may be with a person you just met or a casual acquaintance. But that was a special feeling, right? What drives this feeling of social bonding? With Feb 14 just around the corner, here’s a little information on how oxytocin influences this true connection with your special someone. 

Introducing the ‘love’ hormone

Does the name Oxytocin ring a bell somewhere in your brain? Or maybe in your heart? Also called the ‘cuddle chemical’, this hormone is the behind-the-scenes superhero in regulating social behaviors including empathy, optimism, friendliness. 

Who’s influencing whom?

No choice of yours goes uninfluenced by genes. Relationship and dating preferences are no exception. Presenting to you, the OXTR gene, a master regulator of the oxytocin hormone. We call it the master regulator because this gene produces the receptor, on to which the hormone binds and functions. Any changes to the efficiency of the receptor will affect your sensitivity to the hormone.

The good guy and the bad guy

Nothing is ever perfect, right? No person is. No gene is. There are variations in the OXTR gene that either promote or decrease your feelings of bonding, empathy, optimism, forgiveness, and other traits that influence your relationship big time. One widely studied and important variation is the A to G transition. This means you may have AA, AG, or GG genotype. Now, the GG variant of the OXTR gene is the good guy here, because it makes you more sensitive to oxytocin resulting in increased empathy and friendliness. This translates to a stronger and more stable relationship. The other variant AA imparts resilience to the hormone’s effects. 

Men or women; who’s better with apologies?

Here’s the good news, ladies! Men with the GG genotype of the OXTR gene are more sensitive to oxytocin than women with the same genotype. They are more forgiving, empathetic and take steps to end a conflict sooner. They remain positive and calm even in the face of disagreements. 

There’s more

Which variant have you got? Check your results for empathy, social bonding, and optimism traits in the personality report. Even if it is AA or AG, there’s nothing to worry about. Don’t believe us after we’ve praised the good GG guy? Hold tight, because we’ve got evidence! Surveys have found that when GG genotype is present in at least one person in a relationship, couples still report a successful and secure relationship. So, it’s not all just in your genes; it’s in your partner’s too! Which variant have they got? Give them the gift of their genes’ story by buying them a report this Feb 14.

Creativity is not restricted to producing a ground-breaking master art piece. Even a small gesture of creative act in the daily life counts. Nevertheless, being creative is nothing short of a grand gesture. Everyone we ever meet is creative – some more than others. But, does creativity have a dark side that is not much known? Are the famous artists and creative experts as happy as they could’ve been?

Creativity: A socially valuable trait

Simply put, an act of creativity is turning a novel idea in your head to reality. It happens when we think ‘outside-the-box’. It doesn’t mean starting something from scratch. Rather, it’s about making connections to previously existing but totally unrelated concepts and identifying hidden patterns. Creativity is a talent that is inherent for most, but it is also something that can be cultivated.

The road to being creative

In the early 1940, John Webb Young wrote a book called ‘A technique for producing ideas’. According to the book, there are 5 steps involved in the process of creativity.

1. Learning stage

Stage 1 involves reading. As much as you can. On topics long and short. It first starts as a general reading, familiarising with many concepts and identifying a source of fascination. Then, like a funnel, the reading narrows – to topics of interest. Especially, the ones related to the task in mind.

2. Consolidate and make connections

This step is an important part of the creative process. The ideas and concepts learned in stage 1 are looked at from different angles. New combinations of ideas are given a shot. A mix-and-match happens during the second stage.

3. Take a break, really

The third stage is as important as stages 1 and 2. It involves stepping away from the topic and letting your mind wander. Doing something relaxing helps. Even if you let your mind in a diffused state, your subconscious continues work. So, practically, you’ll still be twisting and turning ideas without your conscious mind realizing!

4. The Aha! moment

When you take a break, as your subconscious still works, the new idea comes to you in sort of an Aha! moment. The flash of insight accompanied by a burst of energy are usually the tell-off signs.

5. Get feedback

Let the world know. Wait for the feedback. And when you do get it, be humble and learn from the criticism. Shape your ideas and make changes.

Here’s 5 more bonus tips

Apart from the tips mentioned above, the following 5 bonus tips will help you be more creative!

Naturally creative? Ask your DNA!

Being creative is often seen as a natural ‘talent’. While it is not exactly a misconception, it is solely not the only base of creativity. Studies have shown that about 22% of genetic variants contribute to creativity. Of the several genes involved, the widely studied ones are NGR1 and COMT.

NGR1 gene

Neuregulin 1 (NGR1) gene is located on chromosome 8. There are several different isoforms of this gene, meaning they produce proteins that are functionally similar, but structurally different. The main function of this gene is to induce the growth and differentiation of brain cells. Variants of this gene have been implicated in creativity. A particular variation, the T allele, makes the individual highly creative, than the natural C allele. Dysregulation of this gene has also been linked to conditions like schizophrenia.

COMT gene

The catechol-O-methyltransferase gene, also called COMT, is located on the small chromosome 22. Their main role in the brain is to breakdown neurotransmitters, especially dopamine and norepinephrine. They ensure the balance of these chemical messengers. By doing so, they influence the transfer of information from one neuron to the next. A G to A transition in this gene is highly associated with creativity. The variation regulates the concentration of dopamine in the brain’s prefrontal cortex.

The dark side of creativity

Many studies conducted in recent years have tried to identify how creativity interrelates to the dark side. A study conducted showed that creativity and narcissism are closely interlinked. Moreover, it also made the person less honest and lose their humility. But that’s not all. Studies also show that creative experts, such as artists and musicians, are more prone to depression.

A research from a university in Iceland also provided evidence that people in creative professions are 25% at more risk for carrying variants involved in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Compared to individuals with CC genotype in NGR1 gene, those with a TT genotype had a lower white matter density in the frontal brain. This increased their risk of schizophrenia.

Summary

Creativity is neither entirely negative nor totally positive. It’s not all black and white regions. They’re co-dependent on one another, and one may not exist without the other. It’s all a big grey shaded area. In the words of a neuropsychologist, ‘there is, after all, no light without the dark’.
