Ever wondered how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next? 🤔 It’s all about inheritance! During sexual reproduction, genetic material from two parents combines to form offspring. Each parent contributes half of their genetic material, contained in chromosomes made up of DNA. Through a process called meiosis, reproductive cells with half the usual number of chromosomes are formed. When these cells combine during fertilization, the full set of chromosomes is restored in the offspring. This process ensures genetic diversity among individuals within a population. 🌱

What is Nutrigenomics?

Nutrigenomics is the scientific study that uses modern genomics technology to study the relationship between genes, nutrition and health. It has long been apparent that some people respond differently from others to certain nutritional elements. For example, individuals with methylation deficiencies lack the ability to convert B12 into the bioactive form Methyl B12, while other individuals can convert this nutrient with no problem at all.

Polymorphisms and SNPs: Researchers look for one or more nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS; pronounced "snips"). SNPs are single nucleotide substitutions of one base for another that occur in more than one percent of the general population. Changes in the sequence of nucleotides, the “letters”, that make up our genetic code are called genetic polymorphisms (mutations) or natural variations in our genes. These can cause differences in the character or amount of protein encoded by a given gene.

Our DNA Testing: At GX Sciences our focus is on the carefully targeted 55 genetic variants (polymorphisms or SNP’s), which were found in research to have a significant impact on the body’s metabolic pathways, meaning that they participate in the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, detoxifying mechanisms, functioning of the immune system and a tendency toward certain diseases and health issues.
