![]() The ancestry DNA reports, already viral in the west have not yet scratched the surface in the Indian subcontinent. UK- based, The Guardian reported in May this year that the ancestry genetics market is projected to reach 340 million USD in 2022. The popularity of this test can be vouched for- Ancestry DNA sold 1.5 million DNA kits between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and the 23andme ancestry DNA kit was listed as #3 on the Amazon bestselling list. Xcode Life has recently launched the ancestry genetic reports exclusively for the benefit of the South Asian population, a group that is underrepresented in companies with a largely western customer base. In addition to ancestry information users are also able to download their raw genetic information which they can upload to third party tools for as low as $5-$10 and receive insights and tips on nutrition, fitness, health, allergies, skin among others. The cost of these tests range typically between $99 (23andme) to $150 (Genos 2.0 from National Geographic). ![]() You don't need to fall sick sign up for it. This complete abstinence from making customers go through painful needle pricks and to have to physically displace to laboratories for sample collection have added to the popularity of this line of products. The reports are generated from saliva samples collected from at-home self-help DNA kits that are shipped directly to the user after an order is placed online. Companies also offer family finder tools as an offset, uniting estranged and lost families all around the world. ![]() Worldwide there are people who are discovering their roots thousands of miles away from their present spot. ![]() The novel genetic application that uses a computational framework to simulate model population patterns purely based on genetic markers have shattered the illusion of international boundaries. The genetic foundation of these reports gives the customers the trust factor that one looks for in any reports. DNA-based information on ancestry has caught people's fancy and have been making rounds through the decade. While there is a lot of talk about core genomic discoveries- people just wouldn't stop gushing about CRISPR/Cas9- there are parallel applications of DNA information that is already a huge market segment overseas. As the former Secretary of State of the United States of America Alex Ross said, the last trillion dollar company was built on computer codes, the next will be built on the genetic code. What started as obscure experiments conducted by a bright young Austrian monk in the 19th century has now catapulted into the multi-million dollar genomics industry. ![]()
