What is Genome?
In Greek, the word genome means "I become, I am born, to come
into being". The Oxford English Dictionary suggests the name
to be a blend of the words gene and chromosome.
Your body is made up of about one hundred, million, million cells.
Each of these cells has a complete set of instructions about how
to make your cells, their components and their components' components.
This set of instructions is your genome. Your genome is quite similar
to everyone else's genome, which is why we all turn out to be human
beings. But every other living thing also has a genome. All living
things have genomes. Beetles each have a beetle genome which is
a complete set of instructions for making a beetle. Cabbages have
a cabbage genome and bacteria have a bacteria genome. Extinct species,
such as dinosaurs also had their own genomes.
Personal Genome Scan de CODEme
deCODEme is the world's first service to offer a comprehensive genome
scan and online analysis of your unique DNA profile by scanning
one million variants in your genome. Never before has it been so
easy to learn how scientific knowledge about ancestry, disease risk
and the inheritance of physical traits applies to you and your genome.
The whole genome scan answers all your queries.
Why do Personal Genome Scan?
With 1 million genetic variants tested, you can immediately make
the most of existing scientific knowledge. The deCODEme Complete
Scan also enables you to reap the rewards of new discoveries that
will be made by scientists in coming years. As the months go by,
we will update your profile and you will learn ever more about
your genes and how they can affect your health and get an overall
picture of the following conditions:
