Genetic researchers are interested in how genes affect the way the authors' bodies work, and they often use blood or saliva samples to look at DNA.

We share some genes with our blood relatives. Genetic researchers often use blood or saliva samples to look at DNA. Genetic researchers are interested in how genes affect the way our bodies work.
