Genetic Considerations

A Thoughtful Conception

Are you curious how genetics affects children... how it really works, beyond the observation that certain features "run" in families? Do you wonder sometimes whether a family feature, like being skinny or heavy, is in the genes or occurs because "we were raised that way"?

For those who have more than idle curiosity about these important concerns, the staff at Xytex developed "A Thoughtful Conception." It is intended to provide intelligent insight to how genes work (on cellular and molecular levels) and how the environment, such as family life, interacts with genes. It also points the way to further information, personalized to meet your special concerns.

What Colour Eyes Would Your Children Have?

The folks at The Tech Museum of Innovation have developed an eye colour calculator. Visit their site http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html to view the presentation.
