MY DNA test results came back this week from the lab of Orig3n, an American consumer genomics firm.
A week earlier at the CES, the annual tech show in Las Vegas, I'd chanced upon a booth that called out for visitors to "grab life by the genes". Curious, I swabbed the insides of my cheeks and handed over my DNA for genotyping (as opposed to sequencing, which is more costly).
