The Royal Institution

The use of home DNA testing kits is increasing. You can purchase cheaper accommodation based on your ancestry results and generate a 'unique diet plan' based on your genetics. Criminals from cases over thirty years ago are being caught because of a family member's profile. How did something only really seen on CSI become part of our daily lives? Should corporate companies really be using this data for discounts? What do the DNA results actually show? Join a panel of experts, chaired by Sara Abdulla, as they explore how these kits work, the accuracy results and the ethics behind using your profile for commercials discounts and catching killers.    
Discounted tickets are available to Members of the Ri. <A HREF="http://rigb.org/globals/join-support" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Find out more about how to join our community.</A>
