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<p>    FAIRFIELD, Ohio (PRWEB) February 06, 2012  <\/p>\n<p>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<p>    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&#039;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<p>    \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<p>    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<p>    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<p>    About DNA Diagnostics Center    (DDC), Parent Company of ConnectMyDNA\u2122  <\/p>\n<p>    DDC is one of the largest DNA testing companies in the world.
