Many of you know that we celebrate DNA Day on April 25th to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of the publication of the Nature article that detailed the structure of DNA. It's a little late to enter ASHG's DNA Day essay contest this year, but you still may want to contemplate your own response to the assigned topic. Read the next paragraph before you guess what my position might be.
A few of you may know that this day has a special significance for the Dowells of Nashville. It will be the 2nd birthday of our 2014 DNA Day miracle. Benjamin was born 9 months AFTER he had part of his DNA screened to select a healthy fertilized egg that did not contain his mother's heritable mutated and potentially deadly Brugada gene.
DNA SALES!!!
To help us celebrate Benjamin's 2nd birthday this weekend, at least two of the big three US DNA labs are having sales from now until April 26th.
1. Last night CeCe Moore spread the word about the DNA Day sale at AncestryDNA
- $79 and free shipping if you use the FREESHIPDNA code -
2. 10 AM Central time today is the kickoff of a big DNA Weekend sale at Family Tree DNA
Ancestry's sale price is for the only product in the company's line of DNA tests. FTDNA's sale includes many but not all of the company's tests -- some of them discounted more than they often are during sales.
I'm going to a 2 year old's birthday party this weekend dressed as -- (did you guess it?) -- a carnival barker.
So come one, come all and let the spitting and swabbing begin!!
