What are the new genome scans that recently appeared on the market?
A. In recent years, scientists identified almost all of the genes in humans and the most common variations in many of them. This has proven to be a valuable tool for research. Some companies are using this new information to market genome scans directly to consumers, which anyone can buy without a doctor’s advice. Clients send their saliva to the company, and the company examines the saliva for variations in the clients’ genes. The company tells the client what gene variations he or she has, and offers to analyze the results or to allow the client to analyze the results on an interactive Web site.
