Genewize Pre-Launch Meeting in Orlando
Tonight, Genewize presented some impressive information at their Pre-Lauch meeting in Orlando Florida. Genewize is poised to launch its products nationally on August 1st, 2008. Their message is simple; “Genetic Harmony” – by testing your DNA and identifying 12 key SNPs – Genewize creates personalized (genetically guided) supplements, perfectly tailored for your needs.
What is a SNP? Here is the technical explination
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip), is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide – A, T, C, or G – in the genome (or other shared sequence) differs between members of a species (or between paired chromosomes in an individual). For example, two sequenced DNA fragments from different individuals, AAGCCTA to AAGCTTA, contain a difference in a single nucleotide. In this case we say that there are two alleles : C and T. Almost all common SNPs have only two alleles. For a variation to be considered a SNP, it must occur in at least 1% of the population.
Genewize talk at length about “LifeMap” – the name of the personally engineered DNA Nutrition System
DNA specific nutritional supplement
Imagine if you could tap into the newest technology; utilize your own DNA structure to formulate the perfect nutritional supplements for YOUR body. Sound like the Future, but in fact the future is NOW!! GeneWize, a subsidiary of a publically traded genetic biosciences company (GeneLink, Inc.) is doing just that. Genewize uses YOUR OWN DNA, gathered by doing a simple cotton swap of your cheek, and does an analysis of your actual DNA. Based on the findings, they formulate a nutritional supplement built exactly for you, based on your DNA.
