23andMe researchers will recruit 100,000 customers to participate in the first genome-wide association study of behavioral weight loss strategies.

As part of 23andMe’s Education program we sponsored Jonathon Prince on a run from California to New York City where he made stops on campuses across the country to share his DNA story and draw attention to genetics education.

Just in time for Christmas, a 95 year-old adoptee uses 23andMe to connect with biological family meeting her brother and two sisters for the first time.

Every day for 55 years, Ida Pollack thought about her baby, wondering if she’d made a mistake in letting him go.As she’d told the Omaha Herald recently, she always asked...

UC San Diego scientist Abraham Palmer discussing his research on delay discounting and collaborating with 23andMe.

Working with 23andMe, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have found genetic correlations for ‘delay discounting,’ that overlap with several neuropsychiatric conditions, such ADHD, depression, smoking dependency and being overweight.

With phenome-wide association studies scientists are able to take genetic variants and compared them across hundreds of different health-related traits to gather more insight into the biology and potential treatment for diseases.

An international team of researchers led by scientists at the University of Pittsburg have identified dozens of genetic associations for detached earlobes, a seemingly simple trait that is much more complex than once thought and could yield insights into serious genetic conditions.
