A chocolate sale to help support genomic integrity research
A super holiday gift - artisanal 'grand cru' chocolates from Gruyère - is on sale to fundraise for our public association, AGiR! Action for Genomic integrity through Research! (www.genomicintegrity.org)

Genomic integrity, the concept putting together all the dynamic molecular genetic details of our cells, is now 12 years old, and the association AGiR! will have its 8th General Assembly meeting on 25Feb 19h30CET.

Your purchase of chocolates can help AGiR! continue providing information and promoting research, the main goals of the association.  We hope to help everyone understand why some risks are problematic (and could be readily avoided) for public health.  

Please spread the word by telling your friends about this chocolate sale!

We also have an old project idea around chocolate and genomic integrity, by the way, which we talked about already back in 2016, when we had a chocolate taste test at the open public lab Hackuarium!  Here is some information about the participative research project:  It should be done 'double blind' on numerous participants with two 'identical' chocolates that only differ in the levels of certain compounds thought to be good for our cells, flavanols.  First, we would need to determine levels of these compounds, which requires outsourced analyses (expensive!).  Then, we would make small tablets of both sorts, for controlled chocolate consumption by participants (who would not be sure if they had the high or low version of the dark chocolate).  Ultimately, we would use a classic method to assess levels of DNA damage, like the micronucleus assay, depicted below, to first determine baseline levels and then find out whether effects on our own cells are observed after some time of regular consumption (2 weeks?).  We'd love to hear what you think of this idea, get your input and know if you would want to participate!  For more information, see: http://wiki.hackuarium.ch/w/AGiR!_for_genomic_integrity#Really_fun_initial_citizen_science_trial_-_testing_chocolate.27s_effects_on_genomic_integrity
