Researcher Sophie Zaaijer uses the MinION, a portable DNA sequencer, to get a quick genetic readout of a sample of cells.


In the science-fiction movie Gattaca, visitors only clear security if a blood test and readout of their genetic profile matches the sample on file. Now, cheap DNA sequencers and custom software could make real-time DNA-authentication a reality.


Researchers at Columbia University and the New York Genome Center have developed a method to quickly and accurately identify people and cell lines from their DNA. The technology could have multiple applications, from identifying victims in a mass disaster to analyzing crime scenes. But its most immediate use could be to flag mislabeled or contaminated cell lines in cancer experiments, a major reason that studies are later invalidated. The discovery is described in the latest issue of eLife.
"Our method opens up new ways to use off-the-shelf technology to benefit society," said the study's senior author Yaniv Erlich, a computer science professor at Columbia Engineering, an adjunct core member at NYGC, and a member of Columbia's Data Science Institute. "We're especially excited about the potential to improve cell-authentication in cancer research and potentially speed up the discovery of new treatments."


The software is designed to run on the MinION, an instrument the size of a credit card that pulls in strands of DNA through its microscopic pores and reads out sequences of nucleotides, or the DNA letters A, T, C, G. The device has made it possible for researchers to study bacteria and viruses in the field, but its high error-rate and large sequencing gaps have, until now, limited its use on human cells with their billions of nucleotides.


In an innovative two-step process, the researchers outline a new way to use the $1,000 MinION and the abundance of human genetic data now online to validate the identity of people and cells by their DNA with near-perfect accuracy. First, they use the MinION to sequence random strings of DNA, from which they select individual variants, which are nucleotides that vary from person to person and make them unique. Then, they use a Bayesian algorithm to randomly compare this mix of variants with corresponding variants in other genetic profiles on file. With each cross-check, the algorithm updates the likelihood of finding a match, rapidly narrowing the search.


Tests show the method can validate an individual's identity after cross-checking between 60 and 300 variants, the researchers report. Within minutes, it verified the identity of the study's lead author, Sophie Zaaijer, a former member of NYGC and now a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell Tech.
To do this, the MinION matched the readout of Zaaijer's genome, gleaned from a sample of cheek cells, with a reference profile stored among 31,000 other genomes on the public database, DNA.land. Erlich's identity was verified the same way, with initial sequencing done by Columbia students in the Ubiquitous Genomics class he and Zaaijer taught in 2015.


They call their re-identification technique 'MinION sketching' which Zaaijer compares to the brain's ability to make out a bird from a few telling features in an abstract Picasso line-drawing. The MinION's genetic 'sketch' of a cell-sample is compared to a growing database of sketches -- similarly incomplete genetic profiles produced by at-home DNA-test kits like 23andMe and donated to science by consumers.


"Using our method, one needs only a few DNA reads to infer a match to an individual in the database," says Zaaijer.


The most promising use for 'MinION sketching' may be as a cheap cell-authentication tool in experimental research, say scientists familiar with its capabilities. In the study, researchers quickly matched a strain of leukemic cells sequenced by the MinION against a reference file in the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia database, they report. When they tried contaminating the cells with other cultures, it correctly rejected a match if contamination levels climbed above 25 percent.


The use of misidentified or contaminated cell lines in medical research is blamed for as much as a third of the estimated $28 billion spent each year on studies that can't be replicated, according to one recent study. In a 2014 essay in Science, the director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, Jon Lorsch, called for new policies and technologies to address the problem.


Lacking the expensive machinery needed to validate cell lines on their own, most researchers either skip validation or ship their cultures to specialized labs which can delay important findings and treatments. If an easier alternative were available, most researchers would use it, says Neville Sanjana, a core faculty member at NYGC and assistant professor at NYU's Department of Biology who works on skin and lung cancer cell lines and was not involved in the study.


"No one wants to waste time and reagents working on the wrong cells," he says. "At the right price, every lab will adopt this.

People attend a ceremony in honour of the victims and survivors of Lamia flight 2933 on the first anniversary of the plane crash in Colombia that wiped out Brazilian football club Chapecoense, at the Arena Conda stadium, in Chapeco, Santa Catarina, Brazil on November 28, 2017.


The plane was flying Chapecoense to Medellin to take on Atletico Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana finals — the biggest and most unexpected game in the Brazilian team’s history.


When the plane ran out of fuel and went down in inhospitable mountains near its destination, 71 of the 77 aboard died, including 19 players.


Two army helicopters scattered flower petals over a town square Tuesday as part of sad tributes to the upstart Brazilian football team Chapecoense, most of whose players died in a plane crash exactly a year ago.


La Union, the town closest to the site of the accident on a mountainside near Medellin, Colombia, hosted a commemorative ceremony.


The names of the late players and team staff — members of a modest squad that was about to play in a championship game — were read aloud in the town plaza.


The crash killed 71 of the 76 people aboard the plane operated by the Bolivian carrier LaMia. The team lost most of its players and coaches. Only three players survived.

A probe into the crash determined the plane ran out of fuel and was overloaded.


“Glory was close,” said Andres Botero, president of Atletico Nacional, the Colombian team that Chapecoense was going to play in the final of the Copa Sudamericana tournament last year.


“Tragedy crushed their dream,” Botero added.


A memorial plaque was unveiled in the town square as part of the remembrance activities, which were also to feature two Masses and flyover of the crash site by a Colombian air force jet.


A separate memorial ceremony was planned for just after midnight in the town of Chapeco itself.
The plane crash took place a year ago Tuesday Colombia time, early Wednesday Brazil time.


An outpouring of tributes came from towering figures in the world of football.


“Today my heart is in Chapeco,” Brazilian legend Pele wrote on Twitter. “It is a day to remember and pray for those who went to heaven too soon.”


Current Brazilian star Neymar told Spanish TV, “All of us Brazilians carry them in our hearts.”


On the road leading to the hill where the plane crashed — known now as Mount Chapeco — a farmer named Luis Albeiro Valencia has set up a monument erected to those killed in the tragedy.


It is a wooden replica of a plane beside two brick columns. One holds tires from the landing gear of the airliner that went down, the other a deflated football.


He said he was given the items in appreciation for helping with rescue operations that horrible night.


Of the monument, Albeiro Valencia said: “It is to remember. So people will not forget them, because with time everyone will probably forget this hill.”

2. Charly Boy

His strange lifestyle also contributed to his gay rumors. The images of the kiss with Denrele rumors also increased. He was quoted as saying he is gay and the leader of the Illuminati in Nigeria.

But later, he denied and threatened to sue the newspaper that carried the news.


1. Denrele Edun

Denrele is the most affected by this gay rumor. His strange lifestyle may be necessary this rumor. Once talked about the gay rumors that went on in an interview. Excerpt below:

Is Derenle Gay?

But many people believe that you are. And to give them reason, a picture of you, Charley Boy, went viral on the Internet recently …

“I don’t read the news, I make the news.The thing is people tend to look for loopholes when they see you doing well. And since people feel I am feminine in nature, then they think I’m gay. But the truth is I don’t really care about what people say because I’m not fashioned according to what the society expects. And also I think for my personality, if I weregay, the news would have grown from speculations and would have been in people’s face.On the part of Charley Boy and me, I was not expecting the paparazzi that came with the picture.

So what was the picture about then?

I really don’t want to go into details, but it could have been a controversial agenda, it could have a been a publicity stunt, it could have been the real deal and it could have been photoshopped, but whatever it was, people should just go ahead and make their conclusions.

So why is Denrele still single?

I’m a hustler and I’m still trying to get myself together. When the time comes, I’ll get married definitely, but there’s no one in the picture for now. I am single.

Who is your ideal woman?

I like someone who would not try to change me and who would understandthe complexity that I am. I want someone simple and absolutely free and not intimidated by what I represent.(Culled from Nigerian Tribune)

6 IK Ogbonna


He was called homosexual by people, but he denied it severely.


IK Ogbonna was invited to the Pulse TV studio where he refuted the homosexuals associated with his name. The actor met his beautiful Colombian girlfriend described the ridiculous rumors that he said he likes women with beautiful curves.


When asked
“What has been the most ridiculous rumour you ever heard about yourself?” He said:

“They say IK Ogbonna is gay, Jesus Christ!!!, does this guy look gay to you? (takes off hissunglasses). When I heard that one, I couldn’t stop laughing, I am still laughing.«First and foremost, I have a foundation that won’t let me do certain things,I was reading a partof the bible with some people theother day – Leviticus 18 : 22, and God calls it an abomination.

«I am not even attracted to my own self,I love myself as a person but I cant imagine to get (makes sound). Besides, my love for women is out of this horoscope, I love to feel it”

He also told the NETNG in an interview where he debunked the accusations
On reports that he is gay:

“I disgust it even the bible does. My love for women is even so much that you must be extremely feminine for me to love you.”


5. Phyno

The popular Nigerian rapper and producer Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike popularly known as the Phyno sank the rumors surrounding a supposed photo of him kissing a guy in a club some time ago, and we did not paraphrase what he said at all. Speaking to the Tribune, he said:

“The only thing that was in my head when I saw the picture was where did this happen. I said back then that a gangstar like me could not have been involved in something like that. The fact is that, I am not a gangstar and I don’t want people to see me in that light. I think I am too serious and cool for that kind of thing. People say I am gay. Tha’s laughable because these same people reported soem time ago that I impregnated a girl. So you can see that these things don’t work together. My life is all about entertainment, as long as the people are happy about what they read, I am happy too”.


4. Uti Nwachukwu


UTI is considered gay by so much. They claimed that Alexx Ekubo, his former friend, who shared an apartment with him, was his gay partner. They have always traveled and also participated in events together, which fueled the rumors. However, Uti has led social media, facebook and twitter and seriously threatens all those who spread false rumors about his sexuality.

He said: “I am going to say this just once. All false gossip mongers about my se-uality are hereby warned. A scape goat will be chosen verysoon. This is no threat. ”WHO GOD HAS BLESSED/ELEVATED, NO MAN CAN CURSE/BRING DOWN! ONCE THERE’S WONDERFUL NEWS ABOUT ME, THE DEVIL’S AGENTS TRY TO INTERRUPT BUT THEY ALWAYS FAIL CAUSE THEY USE LIES…CONGRATS TO THE FALSE RUMOUR MONGERS. I’LL SAY IT ONCE ..BE WARNED. VERY VERY SOON A SCAPE GOAT SHALL BE FOUND. I PRAY NONE OF MY CURRENT OR FORMER FRIENDS ARE INVOLVED CAUSE THE WRATH OF THE ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH LORD GOD OF ISRAEL WILL SPARE NO ONE…THE EGYPTIAN PLAGUE SHALL BE CHILD’S PLAY COMPARED TO WHAT IS COMING.THEY SHALL KNOW I SERVE A LIVING GOD. SAME GOD THAT HAS CROWNED ME. BABA GOD NOOONIII!! TO YOU BE ALL THE GLORY HONOUR WORSHIP ADORATION AND PRAISE FOREVER MORE! AMEN…I LOVE YOU UFC..REMAIN BLESSED”



3 Benson Okonkwo

Benson actually rumored to be gay. The rumor began after playing a gay character in a movie. Benson had a very serious homosexual scandal a few years ago. It’s a story for another day.

10. D’Banj


Yes, amazingly for some of you, the Koko Master was also accused of being part of the Rainbow Confederation. Forget the various stories D’banj had homosexual rumors about him once this boring story of him engulfed in Illuminati emerged and, like others on the list, his body is well built.


So they have the rumors were caused by something that he did or did or is it an attack of the Pot Bellied Men Association of Nigeria?

9. Banky W



The Nigerian R & B singer, Banky W answered rumors about his s-exuality. The singer said in an interview that he gave Y! magazine saying.


‘It’s hilarious to me and completely false. I’m not. Maybe it’s because I’m not married, and I practice safe se-x and thus have no children yet.


8. Flavour

It all started with the self, exhibiting these semi-written selfies on Instagram. In case you have not noticed that Nigerian men with flat stomach, are quick to call well muscled men who flaunt what they’ve got as gay and unfortunately they left Flavour and Iyanya to fall into this trap.


We knew Flavour was rumour gay partner with Peter Okoye last year when they were seen together.

If you want to know why they would be tagged as homosexuals just by going out and sneaking around with the same sex.


7. KCee


Kcee Colorful wears and combined with stunning color combination, however, has attracted rumors that he is gay. He was constantly hitting on Twitter to be gay because of his choice of eye wear.

14 Alexx Ekubo
Gays and Lesbians: For years, these celebrities have struggled so hard to refute the gay rumours that they drag them seriously. Despite their efforts, the rumours continue to rise. The media and blogs are full of homosexual rumours about these celebrities. In fact, none of the people who carry rumours has any concrete evidence that any of these celebrities are really gay.



It is said that he had left Uti Nwachukwu. He’s rumoured to be dating IK Ogbonna currently.Alexx addressed his rumoured gay affair with Uti then:

Your relationship with him has been tagged a romantic one on several occasions with people insinuating that you are gay partners. How do you feel about this?
“It’s hilarious! Back in the days, when you have a friend who you go out with often, it was cool, people called him your best friend. Now, when they see two guys together, people begin to have weird thoughts.You see, in this business of entertainment, what you need is someone that believes in you to grow. Uti is big, and he helped me a lot prior to now that I’m beginning to gather my momentum. He is a ‘BigBrother Africa All Stars’ Winner. You can hate him but you can’t take that away from him. A lot of these local celebrities, outside Victoria Island nobody knows them. Uti is someone who grandmothers and pepper sellers know. We were in Ghana recently and the President of Ghana saw Uti at the Airport and recognized him. You can’t hate on success.”


Where do you think the rumours originated from?
I don’t care and I am not bothered. Nigerians have what I call the crab mentality. Have you seen a bunch of crabs in a bucket? When one is trying to come out, the others pull it down. If these insinuations were true, by now there should be a picture to prove it. Look at most successful Nigerian entertainers, they were either tagged gay or Illuminati which I find weird. You see some girls acting their lives away on TV and people tag them as “runs girls”. Almost every young, successful entertainer has a negative tag and it is disheartening.


The word on the streets is that you both live together. Is that true?

Yes we do. But is it anybody’s problem who I live with or who Uti lives with? We all know how expensive it is to live in a highbrow area in Lagos. If you have a friend who youare getting along with and you want to live with each other, is that anybody’s problem?


How does this rumour affect your career?

It doesn’t affect my career because to me, I am just living my life. I’ve never come out to refute anything because I don’t owe anybody any explanation. It’s my life.”



13. Iyabo Ojo


Yoruba actress, Iyabo Ojo was called lesbian because of her foundation called “S-exy Pink Ladies”. But Iyabo vehemently denied it. She then changed the name of her foundation because of these insinuations.

12. Susan Peters


She once reacted against rumours of her being a lesbian:
‘’I am not a lesbian. I have never practised lesbianism. People who know me know that Susan Peters is not a lesbian. Maybe, the speculation was because of my masculine structure. I am masculine because I used to participate in games a lot before.I played basketball, ran, played golf but I stopped at some point because I was developing muscles. If I go back into the gym now, I will develop those muscles but I am not gay.People should stop tagging me as gay.I love the other sex, I don’t like gay. I have female friends but I have more of male friends. I have a boyfriend mind you, not boyfriends.


But I have male friends because I prefer male friends to female friends because they are more comfortable to be with. I am not saying I don’t like my female friends. I have female friends but I love more of male friends. So, people should stop saying I am gay, I am a full-fledged straight woman.’’

11. Genevieve Nnaji


The story of the Beninese actress/musician, Ella Martins and Nollywood star, Genevieve Nnaji, lesbians were actually broken by an online magazine last year and this has created a big buzz.


Although Ella Martins and Genevieve would have reacted quickly to smash everything, it seems that the echoes are still heard while Ella recently announced to Vanguard that the rumour had affected her.You became popular in Nigeria after the allegation of lesbianism between you and Genevieve.

How does this little scandal affect you and your career?
Yes, it has affected my emotional life, because everybody now believes I am in a relationship with Genny and my family is not happy about it. It has really affected my career and image at home.Have you had any similar issue back home before then?I have never been tagged that before. It is something that is completely new to me. There has never been a time Iwas accused of being a lesbian. One little thinghappened about me and Genevieve Nnaji and everyone now believes I am a lesbian. It is very touching and depressing.


What actually happened between you and Genny that sparked the allegation?
Hmm, you know I speak more of French than English,so, it is a little hard for me to express myself fully. What happened is that Genny and I were in a club in Lagos and her phone got missing. Later, I think a paparazzi or someone got hold of it and started sharing some contents about me and Genny online. I don’t see anything abnormal in the pictures but people started talking that we must be lesbians and all.


What kind of pictures are you talking about?
As normal persons and friends, we do take normal pictures at home and in other places but I don’t know why the online magazine showed Genevieve and I kissing, I am surprised and don’t know where they got those pictures from.


So, you and Genevieve were never kissing each other in any pictures you took together?
“We kissed, but it was nothing extraordinary, it was normal kiss between girls. I mean girls do kiss each other normally, even guys do too. When I was dating Fally Ipupa we used to kiss and now that we are separated and are good friends we still continue kissing like we used to. My fear is I receive strange calls saying that in a few days’ time they will be releasing more pictures about us.”

The plant okra and its seed pods are also called the “lady`s fingers”. People in the US, the UK, and the Philippines call it okra with other pronunciation in Nigeria and Caribbean English of okro.


One glass of fresh okra contains 30 calories, 2 grams of proteins, 3 grams of dietary fiber, 0.1 grams of fat, 7.6 grams of carbohydrates, about 80 micrograms of folate, 21 milligrams of vitamin C, and 60 milligrams of magnesium. Due to these substances, the okra is an amazing plant which is highly beneficial for human`s health


You can enjoy the health benefits of this plant in different forms- stewed, boiled, pickled, fried, at any period of the year.


Okra is able to relieve asthma symptoms, boost the immunity, reduce the levels of cholesterol, fight against diabetes, prevent kidney disease, and so on. In addition, it has been considered an effective ingredient in reducing the quantity of glucose consumed by food through your gastrointestinal tract.

Buhari will conquered the all North in 2019 including Adamawa where Atiku hailed from and also the South West because of Osinbanjo and Tinubu.

Buhari will be reelected in 2019 either by people vote or passive vote and after that A Yoruba man will also take over from 2023 to 2031 so tell me when Atiku will rule Nigeria

Buhari all the way to 2023.

God bless sai baba

God bless Nigeria.
