Genetic Testing : Gene tests (also called DNA-based tests), the newest and most sophisticated of the techniques used to test for genetic disorders, involve direct examination of the DNA molecule itself. Other genetic tests include biochemical tests for such gene products as enzymes and other proteins and for microscopic examination of stained or fluorescent chromosomes.

In popular culture
Some possible future ethical problems of genetic testing were considered in the science fiction film Gattaca, and the science fiction anime series "Gundam Seed". Also some films which include the topic of genetic testing include, "The Island" and the "Resident Evil" series.
