Show me your DNA and I’ll tell you who you are.
You may not know how your great grandfather looked, but you may find out what kind of genetic material he passed on to you.
Wouldn’t you like to be aware of your predisposition to certain ailments and illnesses? Bay Area company “23andMe” will help you to do just that. For $999 you will get a report, based on the scan of your DNA, which will reveal clues to the questions you might have.
All prospective customers need to do, is “sign up online at 23andme.com and receive a saliva test kit in the mail to send back.
Four to six weeks later, they can access their private report on the company Web site. It will show how their genes might raise or lower their risk of heart attacks, cancer, diabetes and other illnesses. The personal genetic profiles also can be compared with those of relatives to create a family tree, and might indicate, for example, which grandparent passed down a tendency to stay up all night or fumble a football.”
