I don’t know if you caught that bit about Maple Syrup Urine Disease, but we spent so much time looking into it later! I wanted to share it, but it didn’t make it into the video. MSUD a super-rare dietary disorder and it is fascinating. People who have MUSD must have a special diet their whole lives, because their body cannot process certain amino acids (protein building blocks). It affects 1 in 185,000 infants worldwide and *can* cause serious problems if it goes untreated. The fact that Amy, a Canadian, had a disorder with the name "maple syrup" really caught us off-guard, but hopefully, the fact that Amy is a carrier can help raise awareness! Vaya con science!
And btw.. which test did you two take? the 23andme or another one? And if it was 23andme, did you take the 99 or 199 version, and how satisfied were you?
Is Amy sure she doesn't already have this issue, instead of being merely a carrier? The reason I ask is, that mutations in the specific genes that create MSUD, cause the body not to be able to break down proteins from particular, protein-rich foods such as dairy products, meat, soy, gluten, eggs, nuts, whole grains, seeds, Mutation in any of these genes reduces or eliminates the function of the enzyme complex, preventing the normal breakdown of isoleucine, leucine, and valine. She's already been identified as lactose intolerant... Tell her to be aware of any symptoms that may indicate a late onset of the disorder in herself.
Maple syrup urine disease is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain protein building blocks (amino acids) properly. The condition gets its name from the distinctive sweet odor of affected infants' urine and is also characterized by poor feeding, vomiting, lack of energy (lethargy), and developmental delay. If untreated, maple syrup urine disease can lead to seizures, coma, and death.
Eman 08 yes but agian when someonr says mexican do they typically think of a specific mezo american look ? ya when someone says Mexican they mean mezo american. technically race is such a fluid word it can mean specific mezos from mexico or the entire modern gene pool of mezo so yes you can be racist toward mexicans and you can have mexican DNA also is german a race .... no but it will show up as part of your dna origin so yes you can test DNA and it can comback mexican mexico isnt as mixed as the carribean
pale blue dot Again Mexican is a nationality, you can be black, white, native American, Asian mixed race. Ask the same question what does an American look like, are they all white people? 😂😂😂 just like I said about Mitt Romney's father and he's a white Mexican born. Christina Aguleria's father is Ecuadorian and she's white. My father is a white boy with blonde hair and blue eyes with the last name Ortiz and his grandparents are from Puerto Rico. Even Trace Dominguez is mostly white as he's a White Caribbean just like my father as Trace looks like someone from Spain.
hears "maple syrup urine disease", pauses video, opens new window, googles maple syrup urine disease, then goes back to youtube, searches for maple syrup urine disease videos
This means that... I shouldn't trust you but you're right meaning you could have created a quantum paradoxical super wormhole dividing some part of space time into two halves and completely stopping the universe from expanding which in-turn gravity collapses the boundary of the universe and will make the big crunch a reality. wow
Im Ethiopian and I did a DNA test a while ago and my biggest two areas was East Africa and Middle Eastern/North Africa. Then I found out I had European in me and < 0.1% Native American (What!?). Im not sure if I should trust in the Native part but a lot of people related to me on 23andme have Native American and Oceanian 🤗 I had a bit unassigned but DNA test for East Africans are a bit sketchy (because most don't have as much testings on us) so it's hard to know if the results are accurate enough lol.
There is unconclusive evidence of certain species of plants native from central and north america being present on ritual burials on Africa as far as 8000 years ago [with Tutankamon´s cocaine_in_his_hair being just the most famous]. It would not be impossible for any ship able to cross the Mediterranean Sea on a regular basis to do the same through the Atlantic with a lower probability of success (and back with some imported people in them to replace the lost crew members).
geo . zephyr I'm African-American, and I had trace amounts of Melanesian Bantu, and Caucuses, which I suspect could be East African or Madagascar ancestry. I used Ancestry.com and they focus on West Africa. I look forward to the reference populations expanding.
Native Americans ARE Asian, by heritage. They migrated across the Beringian land bridge (that used to exist between Siberia and Alaska) thousands of years ago. Then they spread out through all of the Americas (North, Central, & South America). I wish these DNA test websites would include this human history lesson in their explanations, because I have seen it confuse a shitload of people.
Could you please tell me what test did you use. What firm? From which company? There are a lot of tests on the market and I want just the right one, or the most complex.
What company or where did you get the DNA testing? I found one for Ancestry.com but i don't want to just learn where i am from but also get likely hoods of diseases, or any current traits. Can you leave a link?
I would like to do a DNA test but I can't figure out which one to use. I tried to find info in the description of the one Trace and Amy used but couldn't find it. Any suggestions please?
I can just imagine.... waking up... smelling that breakfast smell.... running towards the kitchen..... "wow mom ... you made pancakes!!"...... ... "No that was just your sister peeing her pants" =(
I would like to ask you at D News a perplexing question. (Perplexing for me at least) Earlier this year, San Francisco was treated to an unusual sunset, the "Belt of Venus" could be seen on the western horizon and ALSO the eastern horizon! How the HECK does that happen?!? It was beautiful, apparently...although the vid I seen didn't do it justice!
If anyone is curious, "ATGC" is an abbreviation of the nucleobases Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine, which compose DNA. They are chemical compounds, not just some magical letters as shown here.
Well, I swing that way and I wonder if DNA can tell if we are to have good looking children or parents or if we are good looking. Trace is very good looking.....just saying
MrJherime There's a DNews video where you get to see her practicality naked. just with a little black bar over her nipples and vagina. It was something to do with sleeping naked I think.
Can we get my DNA say I'm supposed to marry Selena Gomez? Then I can go to her and say I'm sorry but it's science, we have to hook up. Let's make the best of it.
Sapa Inti it wouldn't surprise me as his results are typical of a white Caribbean. He's whiter than my grandfather that is also mostly Iberian as I'm 7% Native American as I'm three generations from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Trace and I could possibly be distantly related since these island populations are known to be Endogamy populations. I have several thousands of Endogamy Puerto Rican cousin matches.
Eman 08 yeah my sisters dad is Puerto Rican he also got thousands of cousin matches, while my Cuban grandpa didn't even have a hundred and my Ecuadorian family had under 100 too. but my Cuban grandpa's dna is really close to trace, 95% European, 3% north African,
HairyBottom 1/4 is pretty significant to be considered "Mixed" race. 2% not so much. A lot of White Puerto Ricans are in the 60-70℅ European range but they are still multiracial compared to one coming straight out of Spain as they are not your Charlie Sheen "White". Charlie Sheens real name is Carlo's Estevéz that is 100% European of Irish/Galician. My father looks just as white as Charlie Sheen with the last name Ortiz a blonde blue eye but he's multiracial generationally mixed of European/African/Taino.
Well, it's a good thing they have all of your DNA files on record now. Don't be surprised when you see your long lost "twin" brother walking around.....
Nah, I'm not for sale and neither is my DNA, Your DNA are the basic blocks to what and who you are. While you're entitled to your opinion, Don't say I didn't warn you when your identity no longer belongs to you.
Kivalt Depends how you define race there are many different groups of humanity like the mongoloids, Caucasians, etc... If they want to call it a race they can. Each "race" has fundamental differences in face structure and pigmentation.
Hey what's the deal with your branding/channel name? Did you start out as Seeker Daily and switch to DNews and now you're Seeker again? Pick a name and stick with it? :)
I eventually want to take a DNA test. I know pretty much what's on my mother's side (my late grandfather was huge into genealogy) but my dad's side is mostly a mystery (I know about a little, but no where near the full story), and I think it's cool to know where you come from.
I don’t know if you caught that bit about Maple Syrup Urine Disease, but we spent so much time looking into it later! I wanted to share it, but it didn’t make it into the video.

It's the $199 23andme. The $99 version doesn't do health or carrier reports.
My DNA test showed I'm 30% Mexican, so I built a wall around my DNA and made my amino acids pay for it.
President Donald J. Trump 😂
President Donald J. Trump Mexican is not a race 😂 Mitt Romney's father is Mexican and is he's white.
Eman 08
do mexicans have a certain appearencr
Eman 08
yes but agian when someonr says mexican do they typically think of a specific mezo american look ?
ya when someone says Mexican they mean mezo american.
technically race is such a fluid word it can mean specific mezos from mexico or the entire modern gene pool of mezo
so yes you can be racist toward mexicans
and you can have mexican DNA
also is german a race ....
no but it will show up as part of your dna origin
so yes you can test DNA and it can comback mexican
mexico isnt as mixed as the carribean
pale blue dot Again Mexican is a nationality, you can be black, white, native American, Asian mixed race. Ask the same question what does an American look like, are they all white people? 😂😂😂 just like I said about Mitt Romney's father and he's a white Mexican born.

I'm so sad. I failed my DNA test :(
Master Therion Damn
Master Therion Funnier because of your name. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb! But I liked it too!
what you mean? is this a joke i didnt get ? please dont be cruel guys ;-;
Soufiane Artwood Yes, it's a joke. You can't "fail" a DNA test. It's not like a test you take at school. ^_^
Master Therion hahaha got it!
hears "maple syrup urine disease", pauses video, opens new window, googles maple syrup urine disease, then goes back to youtube, searches for maple syrup urine disease videos
just did, scrolled thru comments to see if anyone else had... Hello.
Glad you are "staying curious".
Naaah, medical student, already knows the disease, doesn't pause the video
Vsauce Michael here: "you guys want some spit facts?"
Adi Witko Ohohohohoh yes please my dude
Adi Witko GREAT MEME 10/10
mman i laughed my ass off so loud , thanx
Where did you get your specific DNA kits and which lab provided the results in the format you showed us in this video?
where did spit facts come from??
I like how the DNA thingy becomes Yellow when it hovers over Asia
lool. Not all of Asia is yellow though so thats just a stereotype
No, they turn red when they drink alcohol.
Suvi-Tuuli Allan lmao
João Pedro Nasser haha
João Pedro Nasser not all Asians are yellow tho.
Dna test just came in, I'M A FUCKING LEMON
james Fra im a potato
james Fra I'm supposed to be Emperess of Earth.
Mother Raven I'm supposed to usurp your throne and lead the people into effectively individually self governed
Don't worry about it. 95% of American population are vegetables all their life.
james Fra Lemongrab?
don't trust an edited comment
Epimenides' paradox?
I don't trust you...
you can trust me though.
Nishit Dua what if you spell something wrong
This means that... I shouldn't trust you but you're right meaning you could have created a quantum paradoxical super wormhole dividing some part of space time into two halves and completely stopping the universe from expanding which in-turn gravity collapses the boundary of the universe and will make the big crunch a reality. wow
The final episode to be branded as DNews.
R.I.P. DNews 2012 - 2017
ive done this exact thing still waiting to see if im retarted
Do you like spoilers?
Ha
Judging by the name, I could tell.
are you a liberal?
Lmao
If you don't mind sharing, can you link us to the DNA service that you used for the video?
Doctor Sanders has a wonderful accent and voice, it's so soft, he should start make audiobooks.
Love at its finest 5:55
Is is Friday yet!? I wanna play Zelda...
Yeah! that comment wasn't related to the video! DEAL WITH IT!
I'm dabbing.
M Martin sick invite
Hop over to Australia. We get Friday 12 hours sooner.
This was really interesting. Im gonna get a kit myself, thanks!
Aweosme video really did a good job of explaining the process.
Im Ethiopian and I did a DNA test a while ago and my biggest two areas was East Africa and Middle Eastern/North Africa. Then I found out I had European in me and < 0.1% Native American (What!?). Im not sure if I should trust in the Native part but a lot of people related to me on 23andme have Native American and Oceanian 🤗 I had a bit unassigned but DNA test for East Africans are a bit sketchy (because most don't have as much testings on us) so it's hard to know if the results are accurate enough lol.
geo . zephyr same with Somalis, it's an ancient admixture
There is unconclusive evidence of certain species of plants native from central and north america being present on ritual burials on Africa as far as 8000 years ago [with Tutankamon´s cocaine_in_his_hair being just the most famous].
It would not be impossible for any ship able to cross the Mediterranean Sea on a regular basis to do the same through the Atlantic with a lower probability of success (and back with some imported people in them to replace the lost crew members).

Google "mongoloid", darling. It is a controversial term for "Asian"! & The Mongols themselves WERE Asian!
Maple syrup? She is Canadian… 😄
Jimmy Nguyen maple taste good.
How did you guys get the DNA test kits. And are the results that came later part of the deal when you got your test kits?
Could you please tell me what test did you use. What firm? From which company? There are a lot of tests on the market and I want just the right one, or the most complex.
Aw man, Amy is wicked cute.
Contingence Why the "awww man"
No one uses the word wicked.
I’d tap. Unconscious of course
What company or where did you get the DNA testing?
I found one for Ancestry.com but i don't want to just learn where i am from but also get likely hoods of diseases, or any current traits. Can you leave a link?
Dnews used 23 and me (its in the tags)
JD M 23andme.com
You guys geeking out over your genes makes me smile :D. Thank you.
I would like to do a DNA test but I can't figure out which one to use. I tried to find info in the description of the one Trace and Amy used but couldn't find it. Any suggestions please?
I am: 29% Spanish
26% Native American
14% great britain
13% Irish
9% Italy/Greece
K
I can just imagine.... waking up... smelling that breakfast smell.... running towards the kitchen..... "wow mom ... you made pancakes!!"...... ... "No that was just your sister peeing her pants" =(
Ian Enciso dead lmfao
Ian Enciso My pee smells like cheerios guess that meens i got Hunnynut Pee Disease
This is a thing? I have it lol
this was awesome, what is a good company to get the test done?
So much fun!
I just *love* Amy!
I would like to ask you at D News a perplexing question. (Perplexing for me at least)
Earlier this year, San Francisco was treated to an unusual sunset, the "Belt of Venus" could be seen on the western horizon and ALSO the eastern horizon! How the HECK does that happen?!?
It was beautiful, apparently...although the vid I seen didn't do it justice!
THE BIGGER PICTURE: WE'RE ALL RELATED!!!
It has to be because I am not from an ape lol
That was informative and funny! Thanks. Great video.
Hey. Where can we get this done? The most detailed version. I want to get one! I'm in the UK :)
But where did you get tested and how can we get tested if we wish also.
DeathbyDoughnut 23 and me
How much did it cost?
Illidan Stormrage any chance it gets cheaper substantially in the near future?
Alot.
23andme costs around $60-70
Ancestry costs closer to $100
Who did you guys go to for the test, and how much was the test?
If anyone is curious, "ATGC" is an abbreviation of the nucleobases Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine, which compose DNA. They are chemical compounds, not just some magical letters as shown here.
Wow that woman is exceptionally beautiful. #smitten (Trace is exceptionally beautiful too, I just don't swing that way.)
But if there was a playground nearby, I'd swing with Trace :D
Well, I swing that way and I wonder if DNA can tell if we are to have good looking children or parents or if we are good looking. Trace is very good looking.....just saying
MrJherime There's a DNews video where you get to see her practicality naked. just with a little black bar over her nipples and vagina. It was something to do with sleeping naked I think.
Amy Shira Teitel
Check Amy out on Twitter: twitter.com/astVintageSpace
Vintage Space here on UA-cam as well
betcha kevin sapcey swings that way
The last video of DNews in my book. For now. Unless they brought back the usual fun and love in their videos just like this. RIP.
I'm a little late on this but what company did you guys go through for the testing?
What "brand" test kit did you use?
"Maple Syrup Urine Disease" AKA being Canadian. :-)
Actually it's a deadly disorder. It can also lead to serious mental & physical disabilities, if it is not caught in babies fast enough!
Why did u guys change the name to seeker
where did you get the kits? me and my boyfriend want very badly to have our dna tested, we're uber curious about it!
What service did you guys use for the DNA testing? I'd like to do it.
I love genetics. Sciencium just uploaded a really cool video on 6 DNA as well. Might make a video about genetics on my channel.
Can we get my DNA say I'm supposed to marry Selena Gomez? Then I can go to her and say I'm sorry but it's science, we have to hook up. Let's make the best of it.
k
Why not?
qqq1701 this is poorly written
Where did you guys test your DNA?
Where can I get one of those kits and how much are they?
Why is the name seeker?
Maple syrup urine disease...sounds like a disease I wouldn't mind having...
houchi69 apparently people can die from the disease if they eat to much of a certain type of food
If left untreated it can lead to Seizures, Coma, or Death. Have fun.
houchi69 oh gad
Well...I don't have it...so, thanks! :)
What DNA test kit did you use? Is something like this available to the public?
They did the DNA video!!! Yay! I requested this a few months ago.
always thought trace was Cuban. pretty positive he's Cuban now. those results were really similar to my Cuban grandpa's results
Sapa Inti it wouldn't surprise me as his results are typical of a white Caribbean. He's whiter than my grandfather that is also mostly Iberian as I'm 7% Native American as I'm three generations from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Trace and I could possibly be distantly related since these island populations are known to be Endogamy populations. I have several thousands of Endogamy Puerto Rican cousin matches.

Sapa Inti Most Cubans today are white. Anything below about 25% means nothing.
HairyBottom not really, especially if the 25% is from something like African
HairyBottom 1/4 is pretty significant to be considered "Mixed" race. 2% not so much. A lot of White Puerto Ricans are in the 60-70℅ European range but they are still multiracial compared to one coming straight out of Spain as they are not your Charlie Sheen "White".

My father looks just as white as Charlie Sheen with the last name Ortiz a blonde blue eye but he's multiracial generationally mixed of European/African/Taino.
I want that moray eel shirt
Mmmm I'd sure like to mix my genes with Amy's to see the end result...
Greggan! If she did it with me, European all over lol
How much it will be to get this test done? I am interesting in having this test done.
The last good video on this channel. Rip DNews.
You will be missed.
This is kind of an horoscope with a tinge of science.
Okay so where did you guys buy your test kits at?
Where did you guys ordered your genetic test kits?
carrier which one at&t or Verizon 😁
vishal Sharma T MOBILE
vishal Sharma giffgaff
vishal Sharma either, I don't live in U.S. ✌🏼️
vishal Sharma I have American Telegraph and Telephone company.
verizon because i live in montana and that stuff speads like wildfire
Well, it's a good thing they have all of your DNA files on record now.
Don't be surprised when you see your long lost "twin" brother walking around.....
KingGhostDragon I don't see the problem, it would be so cool
Nah, I'm not for sale and neither is my DNA, Your DNA are the basic blocks to what and who you are.
While you're entitled to your opinion, Don't say I didn't warn you when your identity no longer belongs to you.
identical twins do not have matching fingerprints
How do I get the test. And how much to do it?
Which DNA testing kit did you use? I kinda want to do this!
want Dnews back '-'
This is last video of discovery news
What company did you use? I see no links or references
What testing service was used for the tests in the video?
Why is this channel called Seeker all of the sudden?
Guess no one pointed this out but Here lies the last DNews video
Dr. Stephans voice is sooo milky smooth, and that slight accent, I could listen to him all day!
My apologies if I missed it, what company did you use for your testing? I did the same thing but the results weren't as detailed.
i thought this channel is called Dnews.
AmplifireZ it was seekers whole the time.. :/
2:59 But I thought race was a social construct!
It is. DNA can be used to tell if you are German vs. British. That doesn't mean German and British are two different races.
Kivalt clearly it's not
Kivalt he did not say that race exists. it just happens that geographic isolation keeps certains genes in a area
Did nazi that coming...
Kivalt Depends how you define race there are many different groups of humanity like the mongoloids, Caucasians, etc... If they want to call it a race they can. Each "race" has fundamental differences in face structure and pigmentation.
Is there a video of the whole reading the results? I'm interested :D @seeker
What DNA kit did ya guys used?
Hey what's the deal with your branding/channel name? Did you start out as Seeker Daily and switch to DNews and now you're Seeker again?
Pick a name and stick with it? :)
"Maple Syrup Urine Disease" must be the most Canadian thing I've ever heard of :-)
Anyone know the best site to order and test my DNA?
they never said which kits they used, I would really like to know.
The grey haired guy in the office has such a sexy voice (said suducdevly)
Take 330 seductively**
I think you two need to get a room and get it over and done with! 😂
Orion Osiris lol
Trace would put it in the wrong hole.
Where can we get this type of test??
Which kit or company did you use I can't find a link
WTF WHY IS YOUR CHANNEL CALLED "SEEKER"????!!!??!?!?? wtffff
I dont care about DNA i care about DNEWS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO kill me tomorrow
dont worry kakashi pain is coming to leaf 2mrw😏
its still science and everyone else liked it so :-p
Hey how much does that DNA test cost?
What kit did you use?
The background music in the video is fire. Seriously.
I eventually want to take a DNA test. I know pretty much what's on my mother's side (my late grandfather was huge into genealogy) but my dad's side is mostly a mystery (I know about a little, but no where near the full story), and I think it's cool to know where you come from.
That guy from the DNA test sciencey thingy has such a soothing voice!!
what is the name of the kit used?
The important question here. How much does it costs and where can you test yours?
does anyone know where I can get one of these DNA kits from??????? I want to trace my roots
One of the funnier D-News episodes!
Also, why did you change the name of your channel?
That guy is so calm
Where do you get the DNA test from?
which test did they use?
Can you please do a piece on recycling as in what products are recyclable and what they can be used for
Best episode in a long time!
