Should one single male gene stop you from marrying him?
In a recent report, it shows that to find out if you man is marriage material, you just need to look into his genes, that’s genes, not jeans! Or at least this is what women are encouraged to think after a new study on genes linked to arginine vasopressin - a hormone that’s found in mammals, helps bodies retain water, and has been linked to mate stability in prairie voles.
It turns out by looking into the report of Swedish men’s DNA, next to the gene responsible for vasopressin sensitivity and much more prone to having problems in their marriage, plus its less likely if they get married to start with, than those without the variations.
It seems from this research the media rushed into writing about the “divorce Gene” saying if a man had one or another type of gene it would determine he would make a good husband.
Although there is a strong link between a gene and a social outcome, but we must remember the gene is only slightly interesting, what really matters, according to the researchers themselves, are the neural network implicated by the gene. So sorry to disappoint and give you the less glamorous thought of a single gene being responsible for a marriage failing, but this is by far more accurate.

DNA Breed Testing Kit for Dogs
Who would have thought it a DNA test for dogs, personally I don’t really care what breed my dogs are I love them and they are their own dog. But if people are wanting to know that their dog is pure bred I can understand. Especially if you have paid a lot of money for the breed you want.
The test comes from MMI Genomics who are a leader in animal DNA analysis and pedigree certification. This could also help you research what your breed of dog used to do way back in history, maybe they were used for Mountain Rescue or a fashion accessory for the rich!
