...genes that express the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) molecules. The main reason behind this move is because there is concrete evidence that shows ordinary folk tend to choose a partner based on their HLA-dependent odor type. More of the nitty gritty below The GenePartner project was inspired by a famous study performed by Prof. Dr. Wedekind...
