Our science

Life is a wonderful and mysterious thing, and one of the most fascinating aspects of living things is the genetic code that they carry. All living things, including human beings, carry a unique genetic code known as chromosomal DNA. This code holds the secrets to our physical traits, personality, and even our susceptibility to certain diseases.

While it’s true that all human beings share 99.9 percent of the same genes, the remaining 0.1 percent is what makes us each unique. It is this small but critical fraction of genetic variation that holds important clues about our physical features, personality traits, and predisposition to certain diseases.

At GeneGate, we utilize the latest modern genetic techniques to extract information from the cells in your saliva, which contains DNA that holds the key to unlocking the secrets of your genetic makeup. Through our advanced testing methods, we can extract around 750,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from your DNA. These SNPs represent differences in a single DNA sequence that defines traits such as height, hair texture, eye color, and much more, making up your unique appearance and disposition.

But we don’t stop there. Using top-of-the-line AI technology, we can predict up to 83 million SNPs that are significantly related to your traits. These predictions are then analyzed using ancestry-informed polygenic risk scores based on well-established scientific research, giving you personalized insights into your genetic makeup that you won’t find anywhere else.
