spit parties

Hi Guys,
I thought the “23andme” web site might relate to last weeks lecture and Bryoni’s discussion comment on the father who had his daughter tested for the fast gene, (and what to do with that knowledge).

This American company offers online gene testing kits for $399 (there is a mother’s day sale if u buy 2 kits though…). Once your kit is delivered to your home you just have to spit into the tube and send it back to the lab. The DNA is then analysed in the lab and within 6-8 weeks you can view your genome from your online account. This is so you can explore your ancestry, health, and traits and is becoming popular in the States with many taking the test at the increasing “spit parties”, where friends are getting together to spit together.
