To most people, genes and genetics have a
negative connotation. This is because the genetic factors in disease have been
what most scientists focus on. Biotechnology research concentrates on
identifying genetic factors in disease causation to find new drugs and
therapies.
However, most of our 30,000 genes are not
related to disease but to natural biochemical, physiologic processes and to
formation of the body. In other words, most of our genes are “normal” for all
practical purposes.
AlphaGenics is the first company to use and
package normal genetic information into practical products that people can use
everyday. MyGene™ uses information about normal, non-disease genes so that people can understand their genetic potential for things like dance, art, music, sports and social interaction.
SkyGene™
Description
MyGene™ was created to let people understand their genetic tendencies and strengths. By learning more about the "nature" part of the nature/nurture equation, each person gains more control over his or her life. MyGene™ provides a personalized
view of a person’s normal genes. span>
Examples of such genes include musical ability, spirituality, taste and smell,
athletic ability, mental ability, and personality. There are shopping genes, genes for romance, empathy and forgiveness.
Genetic differences are involved in musical rhythm, cooking,
wine tasting, desires to have children, night vision, creativity, perseverance, adventure seeking, tongue curling, toe wriggling, dance creativity, and the ability to accurately hear musical tones.
These are all part of a person’s normal
makeup. Some are fun; others are more serious, depending on who you are. What
MyGene™ does is let people understand useful information in a
positive way.
