Improve your lifestyle with an easy DNA test!

In the future, we will all know our genetic makeup. Well that future is here. We wanted the Epicenter team and our members to be ahead of the curve and have an understanding of exponentially advancing technologies. So we hosted a session on how to sequence your own DNA, why it is interesting and useful.

Around 40 curious-minded members gathered on the 24th of August to take part of the future. Epicenter offered all members to use the Athgene platform to sequence their DNA and find out valuable insights about your gene set-up. Most DNA-tests let you know if you’re going to die from a disease, or whom you’re related to, but Athgene lets you find out what exercise form that suits your muscles best, how much coffee you should consume or how careful you should be with alcohol.

After listening to Hannes Sjöblad, Chief Disription Officer at Epicenter, on how we can use digital biology as a platform and how we are increasingly adept at programming biological systems we swabbed ourselves to find out what genetic superpowers we’ve got. We’ll find out in a couple of weeks. Exciting!
