23andMe

A quick rule of thumb, if its on Oprah, it’s usually fresh.  With this, we present the 2008 Time Magazine’s Invention of the Year, the 23andMe genetics kit. What makes this thing fresh is its simplistic procedure that turns into GROUNDBREAKING information.  

You simply order the kit, spit into the provided tube, send the tube into CLIA lab for testing, after 4-6 weeks you can start exploring your own genome online.  Bada bing bada boom. This kit provides information on how your genes influence your health and traits.  It also shows maternal and paternal lineage, ancestry painting, and much more.
