Man’s DNA Replaced By His Donors After Transplant

A recent New York Times article reported that Chris Long (a bone marrow transplant recipient) learned that “Swabs of his lips and cheeks contained his DNA — but also that of his donor.” 

This is the exact reason that Mawi DNA Technologies has always chosen to focus on buccal cells, a surrogate cell to major organs of the body for non-invasive collection for non-invasive collection as better alternative to spit/saliva and blood which in both, white bloods cells are predominantly the source of the DNA.

For more information about our views on this topic visit our President, Dr. Bassam El-Fahmawi, PhD’s article about Saliva Collection on LinkedIn.
