I finally bit the bullet, saved up my pennies, and purchased an item that's been on my wish list for the past year — a DNA Testing Kit from 23andMe. This innovative contraption made it onto our February Must Haves list, but let me refresh your memory on the details of the test kit. For $199 (down from their original price tag of $499), 23andMe mails you a kit, which includes detailed Read more
Happily married man Ashton Kutcher is saying goodbye to his Hollywood Hills bachelor pad, selling it through an exclusive Zillow.com listing for $2.6 million. While I've always suspected that Kutcher was a cool guy, his excellent taste in real estate has confirmed my suspicions. He also definitely has his heart in the right place. The exclusive listing will benefit the Demi and Ashton Foundation Read more
You guys were totally into the DNA prints I showed you a while back, but this new twist on the DNA print has a decidedly geeky touch. The DNA Ancestry Portrait ($440) from dna11 still has you swabbing your cheek for your DNA, but then it goes farther than mapping your chromosomes to plot your ancestry. dna11 creates a personalized web page that details your family lineage based off of your Read more
First off, I'd definitely call Haiko super cute, but what breeds do you think make up this pooch? The beloved pet of CasaSugar, she rescued this dog and was told he was Catahoula and Queensland Heeler, since the puppy's owner suspected dad was a heeler.

You might scratch your head when you pass a beauty with a geek (or Paula Abdul with that cartoon cat), but genetics can help to explain the mismatched pairing. A new study claims that people are subconsciously drawn to partners whose DNA is different from their own. Why? The diversification is most likely an evolutionary strategy; offspring tend to turn out better when there's a greater variety Read more
There's a new test in town, and it has me a little worried. Some parents are using a $149 home-analysis test from Atlas Sports Genetics to find out what types of sports their babies may have been born to play. The test involves swabbing the inside of the baby's mouth, and sending the swab to a lab where technicians look for variations of ACTN3, a DNA strand believed by some experts to predict Read more
Weigh in and tell us if you forgive or not forgive this True Confession. "I did a secret DNA test for my son and my husband. Turns out I lied to everyone. I was so sure he wasn't my ex's, but I was wrong. I feel such a strong urge to tell him the truth but it will rip my husband apart. Can I be forgiven for keeping this secret to myself?"

If you've ever blamed a cheating spouse's nether regions for his infidelities, new research has proven that his brain is actually what's to blame. Swedish scientists have found that men who carry a specific gene variant called allele — which is present in two of every five men — are more likely to experience marital problems and divorce than those who lack this particular variant of a gene.

Nope, your browser hasn't crashed back to 1996 — the Boulder, CO, district attorney has just announced that new DNA tests have cleared JonBenet Ramsey's entire family in the killing of the 6-year-old beauty queen, 12 years ago. The tests point to an "unexplained third party" as the culprit in the crime from DNA left behind in skin cells, one who is presumably still at large. It's been Read more
Genetic discrimination is one form of discrimination the US Senate can agree to disagree with. The Senate has unanimously passed a preemptive anti-discrimination bill, which will prevent employers, unions, and health insurance companies from discriminating using genetic information. Only patients and doctors will have access to tests that reveal predisposition to diseases. Besides protecting Read more
