Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

    Main Results:

    • Weaving communities actively innovate technologies, designs, markets, and social structures.
    • These innovations often occur organically, without explicit labeling.
    • The study reveals a dynamic, adaptive system rather than a static tradition.

    Conclusions:

    • Handloom weaving is a constantly evolving socio-technical system.
    • Recognizing and supporting community-led innovation is crucial for the sustainability of handloom.
    • The findings contest the need for mechanization or museumification, advocating for the preservation and enhancement of living traditions.
