Abstract

A little genomic literacy like “G to C” and “A to 
T” with orthodox “U” RNA signature is the future 
ABC for everyone. Since the kick start, Watson and 
Crick's model of DNA and Emmanuelle Charpentier 
and Jenifer Doudna’s invention of CRISPR/Cas gene 
editing technology thus confirmed our lead to novel 
molecular and genomic sciences.1 While the genomic 
tracks are being beaten in labs, there is an even 
exigence to expand the broadcast to early learners. 
There is a feeling of absolute resoluteness in 
developing a trickle-down tsunami-like ripple effect 
for policy-level document creation with governmental 
oversight to prevail “genomic literacy” in early 
learning. A non-biologist learner must decipher at least 
their “Genome” and the tremendous powers it shelters 
for them for guardianship, ethical use and medical
