What's your opinion on DNA fitness reports from sites like Genomelink and DNAfit? Is there anything to it or is it more like astrology?
If it is legit what kind of results did you get?

Whole genome testing for health and trait predictors are better because these websites use studies that included multiple genes for a certain trait and you get a polygenic score so it’s pretty accurate. Dna fit and genomelink often use single genes to predict certain traits.


At least that’s how it is with nebula genomics.

Yeah it did seem weird to predict such complex things from just a few genes.

The larger the database and with more time, the more precise they will be able to correlate health conditions with certain genes

And thus gives you a risk-score of likelihood of developping diabetes, high blood pressure, cancers, ... in order for you to take preventive measures

A 23andMe také niečo nemá?

23andMe, myHeritage a Ancestry máš ale na porovnanie najvačšie databázy na svete. A myslím, že ich data sú najdôveryhodnejšie. O tých ostatných spoločnostiach neviem.

Tak jasne na samotny test je dobre si zvolit nieco z velkej Trojky. Ale na tie dnafit genomelink vysledky staci nahrat surove data z Ancestry napriklad.

Genomelink is a crap.

The larger the database of the scanned genes, the better the report will be. I did the Selfdecode athletic report. its pretty solid, sure there are even better than that.
