The new science of Epigenetics tells us that we are not stuck with our genes after all! Environment factors, like diet and stress, affect the epigenome and so influence our genes in ways we are only just beginning to understand. The global value for epigenetics-based research, tools, diagnostic kits, and drugs is an estimated $1.7 billion.

23andMe looked at how much Americans know about genetics. While people are starting to understand what they can learn from genetic testing, we still have a long way to go.
