ConnectMyDNA\u2122 announced today that it has nationally launched its revolutionary new DNA testing product for the consumer market, offering secure and affordable genetic testing to people all over the world. ConnectMyDNA\u2122 is the first DNA testing product which provides results in an engaging visual and social environment. DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC), a world leader in DNA testing, is the parent company of ConnectMyDNA\u2122. <\/p>\n
ConnectMyDNA\u2122 features the Gene Ring\u2122, which is a revolutionary new concept in DNA technology that merges modern art with cutting edge science. Not only is it an eye-catching symbolization of a person\u2019s unique genetic makeup, it's also a scientifically accurate tool that allows a person to visually compare their DNA profile to friends, families and population groups around the world. Using 13 specific markers in a person\u2019s DNA, the same used by forensic sciences for identification purposes, ConnectMyDNA\u2122 matches these markers to DNA of population groups in over 60 countries to determine the ten country populations that a person most closely matches. No two Gene Rings\u2122 are alike, but some are more connected than others and discovering those connections is what ConnectMyDNA\u2122 is all about. <\/p>\n
\u201cConnectMyDNA\u2122 initially launched through HomeRun.com as a test to determine the sustainability of the product and demographics of its users. Within days of launching, ConnectMyDNA\u2122 sold over 1000 units, making it one of the top selling products for HomeRun.com. This is a product which is simple to use, affordable and engaging for everyone. Customers receive an easy-to-use DNA Collection Kit containing the information, instructions, and tools they need to collect a sample of their DNA with a simple cheek swab. The next step is to send the package back to ConnectMyDNA\u2122 in a prepaid envelope and await results. When a customer receives their results, they can securely view their Gene Ring\u2122, a visual illustration of their genetic makeup, online,\u201d said Peter Vitulli, DDC President and CEO. <\/p>\n
Vitulli added, \u201cThe Gene Ring\u2122 doesn\u2019t contain any genetic information regarding the person\u2019s health or genetic predisposition and is generated using a proprietary technology stored in a secure database so that genetic information can\u2019t be decoded. ConnectMyDNA\u2122 is not intended to be an ancestry test or product \u2013 instead it is designed to be a fun, educational product that introduces people to the world of DNA through the Gene Ring\u2122 and population matches. Although the test is based on science, the results can be entertaining as well as enlightening and are an exciting way for people around the world to compare their genetic similarities to their family, friends, and others.\u201d <\/p>\n
There are many social features available through ConnectMyDNA\u2122. Customers receive their results online and are offered a variety of ways to view their genetic data, learn about the people and places that their DNA most closely matches, and share their Gene Ring\u2122 with their friends on their favorite social networks. <\/p>\n
