Epigenetics – Information beyond the genetic code
Epigenetics determines the activity genes in the human genome. It does not change the DNA sequence but is passed on during cell division.
Science
Genome – The code of life inside all living organisms
The genome is the entire genetic material of an organism. It exists as chromosomes, DNA, or RNA in the case of RNA viruses.
Science
Is Erythritol the healthiest sugar? A look at the science behind sweetness.
Erythritol belongs to the family of natural sweeteners known as sugar alcohols or ‘polyols’, and are found in many fruits and vegetables.
Science
Ashwagandha – What you should know before taking it
Ashwagandha is a plant used in traditional medicine practices. It may be useful in fighting inflammation and tumor growth.
Science
Mitosis – When a cell divides in two
Mitosis is the division of a single cell nucleus that results in two daughter nuclei with the same, duplicated genetic information.
Science
messenger RNA (mRNA) – The messengers of the genome
The messenger RNA or mRNA is single-stranded ribonucleic acid that is produced from DNA and encodes instructions for proteins.
Reports

Upload your DNA data, explore genetic variants linked to parental lifespan (Timmers, 2020), and discover your polygenic score.
Science
DNA Sequencing – Technologies to read the code of life
DNA sequencing describes methods of determining the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. It has revolutionized the study of genomics.
Science
Genetic genealogy – Revealing ancestry and family relations using DNA
Genetic genealogy is the application of genetics to genealogy whereby DNA is analyzed to estimate the degree of kinship between individuals.
Science
What is a gene?
A gene is a functional unit of DNA that contains basic information for the development of characteristics of an individual.
Science
DNA polymerases – The mighty writers of the genome
DNA polymerases are enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of DNA from deoxyribonucleotides during thereby enabling DNA replication.
Science
