DNA Testing
DNA Testing was created in the 1980s, DNA testing began with the development of DNA fingerprinting by Dr. Alec Jeffreys, which allowed for the identification and comparison of individual DNA profiles, significantly impacting forensic science and paternity testing. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) technique was introduced during this time, marking the first genetic test using DNA. Additionally, the first notable instance of DNA testing for genetic linkage analysis occurred in the U.S. in the mid-1980s, laying the groundwork for modern DNA testing practices. You spit in a tube, send it to a lab, and six weeks later your results come back saying you're 25% Nigerian, 13% Scottish, 7% Indigenous American, and the rest… a mystery soup. You feel excited. Maybe confused. Maybe even validated. But hold on. That DNA test might help you find your relatives, but it's not your cultural passport and it's certainly not the final word on who you are. Analogy 1: DNA for Relatives = GPS Coordinates. DNA for Ethnicity = Weather Forecast When you use a DNA test to find relatives, you're using exact coordinates of measurable genetic markers passed from one generation to the next, like a GPS signal. When you use DNA to predict your ethnicity, it's more like forecasting the weather. There's probability, pattern recognition, and a lot of assumptions about what "Scottish DNA" or " American Indian DNA" even looks like.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Came in like ordered, solid mug
The mug arrived as shown and expected. But, it is an average mug and the cost is quite high. It's funny and good as a one time gift. If we needed several, the cost would be prohibited. Again, funny product and as expected.
Love it. I can't wait to give it as a gift yo

Having my first cup of coffee in the new cup. Good idea to add new terms through individual contributions.
10/10 Looks exactly like the preview. Shipping was fast.
This is for my granddaughter whom I used to call cutie patootie until she found out another meaning for patootie. Then she didn’t like the name so much! This will be a perfect gift for her! She is 16.
Love the cups :) It reminds us of our sweet momma. I thought everyone knew the word "mommicked" but evidently it is an Eastern North Carolina thing...My sisters and I all married Northerner/ Yankees and they had never heard of the word. Thank you for a tender memory.
Cup came in one piece and looks as nice as it does in the picture! Only note is just be mindful of any typos in the description of the definition, they will show up on the cup too! Other than that, no complaints!
This reminds me of the amazing teams i worked in!
