We have two copies of each chromosome. One is from the father and one from the mother. These two equal, but not identical chromosomes together form a chromosome pair. This does not only work with humans, but with many other organisms. These are the so-called diploid organisms. 23 chromosome pairs A human body cell contains […]
Several studies have been conducted into scalp hair, in particular into the cause of the color and thickness, but also baldness. All these properties of the hair are caused by certain genes. Many of those genes work together to express themselves. For example, five different genes are active for the color of the hair, which […]
Strawberries, pollen, chocolate and even a jackhammer, lawnmowers or bumpy bus rides can cause hives, rashes or headaches in some people, leaving them feeling very tired. So these people get an allergic reaction. Omnigen is researching the DNA allergy test. Genes and allergies The cause of the allergic reaction has long been a mystery and appears […]
We at Omnigen are specialized in DNA research and analysis. We are most proud of our personalized DNA analysis and having said that, we are continuing to continue our research and expand our knowledge. One of our interns is currently conducting a study to identify genetic substructures within the Dutch population. A genetic substructure can […]
“Coffee anyone?” is the question that is regularly asked at the Omnigen office. Almost everyone on team Omnigen drinks coffee, but the amount varies quite a bit. One is bouncing after two cups of coffee, the other drinks espresso all day and is still drowsy. Recognizable? The effect of caffeine is different for everyone. Genetic […]
A metabolic disease is not caused by the lack of a gene, but by an increase in a piece of DNA. By researching DNA you can learn a lot about metabolism. How does our metabolism work? Everyone knows that eating gives us energy. When we eat we ingest substances. These substances must be processed or converted […]
A frequently asked question is: Why does a giraffe have a long neck? Does it really have to do with being able to eat the leaves of tall trees? And of course it’s interesting to us what the DNA of this long neck is like. Nice questions. Now read what we’ve already found out. The giraffe’s […]
Most children grow up with grandfathers and grandmothers: the sweet old people you like so much as a child, an easy and cheap babysitter when the parents have to work. This has not always been the case. Originally there were no grandfathers and grandmothers. People were ‘set’, that they died when they had passed the […]
Always wanted to do what scientists can do? Now you can with this trick. All you need are some kitchen supplies and a little saliva. Isolate DNA, how do you do that? How can you isolate DNA? Isolating DNA is also part of our DNA analysis process. Of course we use methods that are a […]
We’ve all heard of DNA, genes, and chromosomes. But how exactly does DNA form the building plan for a human being? And what kind of DNA test can I have done? Interesting questions where we can learn a lot about our hereditary material (DNA). We can do this by analyzing your DNA. With this we can […]
