A Unique Holiday Gift Idea Wrapped Up in Your DNA
Travel Back in Time 150,000 Years with the DNA Ancestry Project, an Online CD-ROM Kit That Merges High-Tech with Biotech in the Search for Your Past
November 29 2006 - The perfect gift has just arrived in time for the 2006 holiday season: The DNA Ancestry Project (www.DNAAncestryProject.com) introduces its CD-ROM Participation Kit, a novel way to for people to travel back in time to discover their ancient roots. The Kit, sold as a standard software package, merges high-tech with biotech by using the power of genetics to trace your ancestry.
"It's not your ordinary Christmas present," says Dr. J. Wong of Genetrack. "The package provides an exciting and easy way for ordinary people the unlock the secrets of their ancient past."
Simply putting the CD into your home computer gives you access to a wide array of interactive features that allows you to explore your ancestry, trace your geographical and ethnic origins, discover your links to famous people, and find long lost family members. As a gift, the Kit has exciting and powerful features for everyone.
Also included in the Kit is a simple and painless cheek swab that you send back to Genebase for ancestral testing. "This provides the user with DNA results for participation in the Project," says Dr. Wong. "With that, you can take part in a wide variety of activities. You can trace the ancient migration paths of your ancestors, and discover the roots of your surname. You can even match yourself and other family members to famous people, like Genghis Khan and Marie Antoinette."
A powerful aspect of the Kit is that it links you up with other members of the DNA Ancestry Project. "It links you with growing network of over a quarter-million other participants in the Project from around the world," says Dr. Wong. "You can collaborate with others to explore your family history, from as far as 150,000 years ago to as recent as a few generations."
Perhaps the most engaging aspect of the product is its novelty as a gift for this holiday season. "It's certainly not a simple piece clothing or jewelry," says Dr. Wong. "It's a gift that can be very meaningful -- you can use it to trace your ancestry back to the origins of your ancient roots. It appeals to a wide range of people, and it's suitable for all ages. You can use it to connect with other family members to discover your collective history and share your research online. And it can be ongoing -- you can grow it as your family grows, passing it on to future generations to come."
