Genetic testing is to determine your destiny?

● Gene detection in theory you can obtain a personal password of "life", but require future gene function continues to crack, to interpret this password

● Child talent from a variety of factors, genetic testing is currently not able to give your children the gift of "judgment"

● Disease susceptibility gene only prompts risk, do not represent a certain disease, diseases more affected by acquired factors

If someone told you that takes several thousand dollars to $ on, get some from kids mouth mucous membrane can predict whether he can become a next Yao or Lang Lang, the early identification of new development directions; or off you squeeze a drop can identify your future xuebian will have what disease for early prevention; or even just like monkey like tear hairs that can help you get a full description of the "life", do you believe? "sounds like a fairy tale, but it is now certain genetic testing company advertising gimmick of the most commonly used.

To this, experts advise that although gene detection in theory you can obtain a personal password of "life", but you want to read the password written "hieroglyphics that specifications testing means not enough, you also need to rely on the future of science to a variety of gene function, and continually cracked enough illustrative sample accumulation to fully read and understand the" hieroglyphics.

Phenomenon

Gene detection gimmick more

Compelling cause anxiety

"Your genome has always been a closed book now for economically allow detection of simple, we can know and your IQ, significant health risks, and many other factors related to the message.

If you have the courage to follow your gene Hello! " — Early last year, the United States the time magazine review of the 2008 "the 50 most important inventions", personal genetic testing services ranked top spot, he was elected as the best invention. While this sensational description, more people over the years is considered a "myth" of gene testing have more imagination.

While at home, in the last two years, some genetic testing company also similar concepts lot of Dubrovnik.

In Guangzhou, and other major cities, similar commercial outgrowth of genetic testing began, the details of the people portrayed more expand imagination — such as, remove root "hairs", throw a SIP or squeeze a drop of blood, spend several thousand dollars to $ do sets of gene testing, we can know that your child has a gift or for your gene reserves certain susceptibility genes, predict the future will be the diseases; more incredible is that some companies have introduced genes, and marriage service throughout the thermal resort of "mine" in the main media.

This story is a bit like a fantasy, but still have a lot of people.

Because, if you know in advance will have some sort of their own, "combat diseases" will be better targeted; and for children, with its small aoshu, piano, martial arts, painting, chess projects dispersed energy "beard eyebrows to try", might as well spend a little money, testing its natural gene, as early as possible to find him what sort of "blue chip" to make more effective the earlier investment; one is eager to discover the "son" or "perfect bride" of young women and men, and also would like to take this find "kindred" the other half.

So the heart were positive action, but certain genetic testing results have made people's consent.

Some people have not yet finished testing, it has continually been some so-called "gene company" lobby to join and help them to develop the following line to get High Commission; some people for the children have finished testing, haven't figured how to plan for the future, will continue to have the body to take to promote a variety of training services; and according to an Insider reveals that gold is actually a marriage gene company for the development of the next line, people want to measure gene get Commission from another gimmick.

"For a while is the susceptibility gene, a gene is growing, and now make a gene mating, just old wine in new bottle, do not know these under the banner of high technology artist next will come up with something new.

"Netizens" Xiang wind de bone, "laments uttered people worry about genetic testing: what, genetic testing is something of a" myth "somewhat true?

Interpretation of the

Easy life password

Not easy to crack the Holy Scriptures

"1990 start of the international human genome project took 10 years to six countries in the world of science to join forces, at a cost of nearly 30 billion US dollars, will be completed in the year 2000 all the human genome sequence.

"Academician, national biochip Standardization Technical Committee Chairman, Tsinghua University, Professor Cheng Beijing told reporters that now only need to spend more than $ 1000, the day will be able to map out a person's genome, access to a specific" life password ", this has become an indisputable fact. But to really crack the "hieroglyphics, have a long way to go.

"Don't take themselves too God, in fact, the first generation of gene product has only just come out.

"Cheng Jing explained that any industrial products have a rule that needs to be with people to promote, from the original to advanced development. Like the first generation phone "cell phones", a simple start function, which is very expensive, limited information, development up to now the X generation, has gradually become economy, universal, precise information. At present, including gene chip, bio-chip is in the development of a starting point, although in the future, but there are a lot of room for improvement.

"Some genetic testing company ongoing publicity is fantastic, some of these tests

Did not achieve sufficient to withstand rigorous scientific validation standards, but this fact does not reduce the interest of consumers and entrepreneurs. "United States Human Genome Research Institute Director Francis · Collins has said.

"Any new things just are disputed, it is not surprising, but not faking it!"

Cheng Jing that acquired the genetic interpretation of the accuracy and related research samples are closely related, if the research sample range is not large enough, it is difficult to guarantee the scientific. While formal molecular level of the epidemiological investigations in addition to technical support, you need to spend a lot of time, financial and human, not overnight. But currently, there are some quick success at home and abroad of genetic testing company is not only the chip quality is poor, and there is no strict statistical basis will stream harmonic chaos on the service, you do have the "blind blind explained" report.
