Speaker - Dr. Paul Poulin, an oncologist, teamed with his son Christian to form Genetic Legacy. Mendel, a monk studying peas, discovered he could predict what peas would appear by picking the “parents.” DNA is a double helix that splits into two when replicating. Genetic Legacy sells a kit to collect your DNA so you can have your complete genetic profile stored.
