While this is very rampant all discussions related to sexual deviation or LGBT. However, a study claims to have developed a test that can be used to predict sexual orientation in males.
The findings were recently presented at the American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting in Baltimore in 2015 using an algorithm that can identify DNA methylation patterns in nine regions in the human genome are thought to be related to sexual orientation.
DNA methylation is a modification of DNA molecules that control gene expression. Such modifications are influenced by several factors such as environmental factors, touch chemicals, stress, diet and even exercise.
This test is the first test that is used to predict a person's sexual orientation is based on molecular markers. Earlier also there was a similar study, but they got the result that a person's sexual orientation is determined by the activity of certain genes.
Well recent research is the development haskembar identical, only about 20% chance they have a homosexual orientation.
So the researchers believe that changes in the DNA into the potential causes of a person's sexual orientation. Even so, the study is still a mystery why identical twins with the same genes may have a different sexual orientation.
Epigenetic differences is one obvious reason and evidence in this study. To learn more about identical twins allowed the researchers to control the genetic differences
In fact, the research team also included 37 pairs of identical twins male sex with one person homosexual and 36 heterosexual and 10 pairs of identical twins who are both homosexual.
This is expected to facilitate determining DNA methylation patterns may be related to sexual orientation. Meanwhile, to help make that determination, the research team created a logarithm called FuzzyForest to help them filter out more than 40,000 data points.
FuzzyForest itself serves to identify DNA methylation patterns in nine regions of the human genome to predict the sexual orientation of men with the accuracy up to 70%.
This research is expected to help you understand yourself better. Unfortunately, researchers still can not explain how DNA methylation can affect male sexual orientation.
They are still testing the accuracy of the algorithm on a more general population, especially the male gender.
