Cells, Microbes & Viruses / meaning of personal dna profile
« on: 05/08/2006 04:14:18 »hi there -- my virgin post. [:I]
i have a friend who just got his genetic profile done gratis, courtesy of another friend of his who apparently is starting up some business just providing the profiles.
my question is: aside from just seeing the visual representation -- which i might add, is way cool -- is this useful to him at all? the first possible application that leapt into my mind was: would it make sense to compare it to his daughter's, who has autism?
i am just so curious about it, and can't find a way to comprehend it in a way meaningful to me, not just forensic applications, etc. (if i'm being too star trek about this, please someone just poke me. []
thanks ~
