Decoding 100% of your DNA means more analysis, the most accurate interpretation of your genome and even more knowledge as science and research advances. By whole genome sequencing, you test yourself once and benefit your life forever".
Pavol Pavlovič CEO of DNA4FIT
In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson discovered the iconic double helical structure of DNA. It marked a giant leap in the life sciences and less than 70 years later made it possible to decipher our DNA with the Human Genome Project, the first complete sequencing of the human genome. Back in 2001, Celera Corporation and the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium published the first working version of the still incomplete human genome sequence. Another 20 years later, the International Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium (T2T) completed this sequencing and finally completed the missing 8 percent of the human genome in May 2021. It is a monumental achievement and experts will certainly be watching further developments with enthusiasm.
DNA is gradually revealing all its secrets to us, and new discoveries are made every day. While it cost more than $3 billion to first sequence the human genome, today we can do it for a fraction of that price.
The genome represents the entire genetic material of living organisms. As discovered by Crick and Watson, DNA is a ladder-like molecule consisting of two main strands, twisted around each other and connected by pairs of organic bases (nucleotides). There are four of them in DNA and they form pairs: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). The human genome should have 3.055 billion of these base pairs, organized into 23 pairs of chromosomes, each of which contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Scientists estimate that our cells contain approximately 20,000 protein-coding genes. One of the big surprises of previous research into the human genome is how little of our DNA actually codes for proteins—just 1 percent. Genome sequencing is the process of determining the order of nucleotides in your DNA. This sequence is unique to each individual, carrying instructions for our development and functioning. It represents the blueprint for our body.
What makes genetic analysis world class?
1. DNA sequencing method
When companies offer you genetic testing, it is important to know what method they use to analyze your DNA, because each of them has its own specifics and limitations. If you are deciding between tests from different companies, choose the one that provides the method whole genome sequencing.
Whole genome sequencing method (whole genome sequencing / WGS) began to be used to a significant extent only after 2014, so it is one of the most modern tools of genetic science, it is more precise and advanced than other methods.
The WGS method maps 100% of your genome. Mapping the entire genome, more than 6 billion sites in human DNA, makes it possible to detect and analyze a much higher number of relevant genetic variants and to provide the most thorough interpretation of human DNA. No matter where in your genome scientists discover something of value, you already have it mapped. The only thing left is to interpret it and you can use your newly acquired knowledge to your advantage!
In addition to the DNA sequencing method itself, there are several other parameters that you should take into account when choosing a genetic testing company.
2. Quality of laboratories and test panels
testing with the WGS method requires state-of-the-art European laboratories, high-end testing technology and test panels developed in cooperation with international research and development departments,
3. Safety and quality
the highest quality, security and data protection standards such as ISO 27001,
4. Simplicity of the test
especially nowadays, a non-invasive test from the comfort of home based on saliva collection with minimal logistics is the right solution,
5. Interpretation of results and recommendations
despite the fact that these are medical tests, an understandable interpretation of the results and recommendations is important for the customer, without the inevitable need for consultations,
6. Consultations and advice
customer care after receiving the test results in the form of consultations and permanent advice is the key to the correct use of the outputs by the customer,
7. World clinical studies
testing markers/genes only with a scientifically proven effect on specific areas of the body and health, for which there is sufficient reliable evidence and quality scientific research,
8. Credibility
publishing peer-reviewed studies in top scientific and medical journals.
We believe that DNA tests must prioritize quality, reliability, comprehensibility and the possibility to consult the results. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) that we use in DNA4FIT health and sports center, is the process of identifying the highest possible number of relevant genetic variants in an individual's genetic code at once.
Our analyzes are performed in the most modern certified European laboratories in Great Britain, Sweden and Croatia, under the supervision of top experts in medicine, genetics, biotechnology, nutrigenomics, biochemistry and informatics, according to the world's highest quality and safety standards (ISO 27001).
The genes we analyze have a scientifically proven effect on your body and are supported by sufficiently reliable evidence and high-quality scientific research. This means that all our DNA tests are based on world clinical studies.
Peer-reviewed studies are published in top scientific and medical journals such as The Lancet, Nature, Science, JAMA and others, which gives our tests indisputable proof of credibility. Scientific sources and analyzed genes are always listed in the final section of the DNA analysis results.
We provide clients with a choice ofa large selection of tests, test results, understandable recommendations for lifestyle changes, macro-nutrition plans,
