In the category of unearthly ware pitches , you’re able to now admit the email I got from Intigene . The company ’s rep hint that Father ’s Day would be a good time to remind people that they could buy Identigene ’s home deoxyribonucleic acid paternity tests . At first I opine it was a prank because their website looked so much like something out of one ofmy fantasies about crappy quack desoxyribonucleic acid testsonline . Their number is even 1 - 800 - desoxyribonucleic acid - TYPE , which just reeks of used - cable car sale technique . But no , it was all too genuine .

Apparently , Identigene lay title to being the first home DNA testing kit , which might in fact be true . It ’s only latterly that company like 23andme.com have initiate offering more extensive home deoxyribonucleic acid testing , pop the question to graph your ancestry or identify whether you ’ve get under one’s skin a genetic orientation for depression . The matter that makes me think “ scifi ” when I see the Indentigene site , which you really must control out , is the way it feel like a cheesy ad from 2040 . Just because they address what still seems like cutting - boundary technology as if it were as trashy and round-eyed as a home pregnancy test . Which it is .
This is the consumer biotechnology , future kids : It begins not with a bang but with a cheesy web site and late - nighttime television informercial . Also , I love how the Identigene test make out in a box that face like it ’s for condoms .
