Consumer Genetics is one of the world's largest genotyping facilities, having genotyped millions of samples for SNP (Single Nucleotide polymorphism) analysis since 2013. SNPs are single base changes in DNA that give rise to genetic variations. These variations can be used for ancestral typing, health and disease risk factors, carrier conditions, and curiosity testing-anything from physical characteristics such as hair and eye color, muscle composition, effects of DNA on diet, and interesting facts such as your body's reactions to environmental stimuli.
