MIRROR.CO.UK – May 2 – DNA testing has become the modern-day method for determining everything from a person's ancestry to their likelihood of getting certain illnesses. Scientists have claimed that our genetics also play a vital role in how attracted we feel towards a potential mate and how well-suited we are to them. GenePartner provides special DNA tests to determine just this. The clinic was founded by Dr Tamara Brown and Joëlle Apter. "People need to match both socially and biologically," explained Dr Tamara. "It is possible to find out both when meeting of course, but the number of singles searching for partners online has increased dramatically. In this virtual world, chemistry is something we cannot sense. That's where DNA testing can help. If you are a strong biological match, it goes a long way towards lasting happiness," she says.
