Behind the scenes of a real DNA lab

Posted By: Duncan Mackenzie | Mar 23rd, 2006 @ 1:00 PM

Join Tina on a tour of Genelex, a real DNA lab, and learn about that crazy nucleic acid that we all love. While she's there, Tina starts the process of getting tested to learn about her geographical origins and her ancestral lines... all based on her DNA!

Does anyone else have problems with the audio in this video? It's not so bad I can't watch it, but it sounds a bit distorted.

Half sugar, half spice. Was there ever any doubt?
Nice show though. I work for a large healthcare company, pharmaceuticals being one of our sectors. So it was interesting to hear how these types of tests are going to influence Adverse Drug Reactions research and reporting.

Thanks for keeping it interesting.

How come it takes a couple of weeks to get results? It's not like they have to send it out to a lab....

I think it's because there are like millions of lines of DNA code... and there is probably a decent amount of people getting the tests done, and probably only a few places that have the equipment to figure out what the heck is up with your DNA... so it would be reasonable to believe that it could take that long... although pee tests sometimes take just as long, and that's just testing your pee. lol
