• Resumen

  • The idea of telling if someone is gay or straight from their DNA is highly provocative. So no surprise that a study entitled "A novel predictive model of sexual orientation using epigenetic markers" has caused a big stir. Focusing on genetic testing may attract attention, but as a scientist long interested in the role of the genome in sexuality; one is more intrigued by what the work tells people about the role of epigenetic imprinting--the silencing of genes by methylation. Here, Hamer talks about sexuality.
