DNA isn\u2019t just about your origins or health. Even the little everyday things you might consider random or \u2018just part of who you are\u2019 often have a genetic basis. That\u2019s why at DNA ERA we\u2019re introducing a brand-new category of results \u2013 Genetic curiosities<\/strong> \u2013 which broadens your understanding of your body and senses with 15 new and fascinating findings<\/strong>. These are traits you\u2019ll notice in everyday life: how you perceive tastes and smells, how your body reacts to light or caffeine, or even what type of earwax you have.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your DNA in everyday life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What these results have in common is their relevance to your everyday life. These aren\u2019t abstract genetic concepts, but little things you\u2019ll recognise in yourself straight away. Traits that make you unique in everyday situations. Have you ever wondered why some people sneeze when they look at the sun? And does coriander really taste like soap to some people? These little things shape the unique way you perceive the world, and it is your DNA that underpins them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The link between genetics and your physical traits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also interesting is the link between genetics and physical traits that you often don\u2019t even realise you have. The shape of your earlobes, the thickness of your hair, the shape of your teeth, or the colour and pattern of your iris aren\u2019t just aesthetic details. They\u2019re the result of subtle genetic variations that have developed over thousands of years. Even how quickly your permanent teeth came through or how pronounced the bridge of your nose is has its own genetic story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the results go even deeper and reveal how your body works. Why can some people manage three coffees a day without any problems, whilst others feel jittery after just one? Or why do some people have a stronger body odour than others? These differences also have a genetic basis, which you can now discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Genetic curiosities category<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new Genetic curiosities category is available as an add-on to your results directly within the DNA ERA web app. <\/strong>Any customer who already has their DNA analysis results can purchase it. If you enjoy discovering everything your DNA reveals about you, even in the smallest details, this add-on will give you a whole new perspective on yourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of us is unique, and some of the answers lie hidden in our DNA. We hope you enjoy discovering all the fascinating details and that you\u2019ll find plenty of surprises as you get to know yourselves better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log in to our app<\/a> and you\u2019ll find a new category available to purchase in the Shop section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
