23andme is a new service that can check for over 100 common genetic medical conditions such as a predisposition to Parkinson’s or to breast cancer. Even more amazing, it can also find your genetic relatives, including the ability, with the permission of you and the other person, to link you up with distant relatives who have also used the service. It’s sort of like social networking with genes!
If you’d like to find out more about 23andMe, watch Anne Wojcicki talk about it in this video.
DNA Day is officially Sunday, but today only you can get your DNA checked at 23andme for your genetic ancestry and common genetic health issues for only $99 instead of the normal $499.
