How can GenePlanet genotype my genome?
The company Gene Planet uses the most contemporary scientific results in the area of functional genomics. The magazine Science announced that genetic differences amongst people was the breakthrough for 2008, which can be mostly attributed to the project Human HapMap and the company Gene Planet expects to gather more information after finishing the project One Thousand Genomes, which it started this year. For genotypisation we need a sample of your DNA, which is found in the core of every somatic cell – even in the cells of the mouth membranes, which are found in the saliva. In our laboratories we isolate the DNA from these cells and multiply them with the PCR method. This is how we divide up the multiplied DNA and transfer them to biochips. With biochip readers we then define the gene variant characteristic of your genome.
