Twin DNA Differences

Identical twins don't have identical DNA. As this ScienCentral News video explains, this surprising research could help scientists better understand genetic diseases in the rest of us.

This video fails at one thing.

We accumulate mutations during our life, not just at conception.

@Deidaragirl9 lol good question ...I guess I just wanted an answer and a place to epress myself

[Deidaragirl9]

@paulthecoolest Why are you commenting this on a scientific video about twins

my nephews are true identical, so every single strand of DNA does match up, there are only 6 sets in the ENTIRE world :D They are apart of massive twin studies

[akukck]

no one is this world.. in this univers!! has the same DNA.. we r all uniqe in our own way..

[eithnekavanagh]

why would you think that?

[WishfulStarz]

I bet the same will go for clones too...

One twin could have damaged some of their DNA or actually be identical fraternal

it's one thing to postulate it (3 years ago) but it is another thing to finally write a paper about it publishing all your research for peer review. I can postulate that cheese causes cancer but is kind of irrelevant till I have researched it and published my findings.

It's not the idea but the proof that matters.
