    Express your Groove Gene

    We all love to groove to the beats of our favorite tunes - whether busting it out on the dance floor, bopping in our cars or shaking it alone in our kitchens, we all do it. In fact, you could say we all have the Groove Gene and a unique way of "expressing" it. In this fun, creative contest we brought people together from all over the world to celebrate our shared and inherent love of music with our unique genetic individuality that makes us groove to our own beat.

    Watch how we shake up our groove gene here at DNA Genotek.
