I submitted mine about a year ago... It gave me my gene origins...Then I looked at it again last week and saw tthat it is very different from before (50% of my gene origins moved to some where else).

so it makes me think how muh more different will it be in another year? What's the point if it's not a true representation with a 50% error rate?

I'm assuming the other brands are the same. It's neat I guess but I don't know if I'd sa y itt's worth it anymore....

Just a heads up

The data is constantly updated as more and more people submit their dna. So in theory your "origin" should continue to get more accurate as time goes on

$9.95 shipping for one and $4.95 shipping for each additional one.

Just an FYI, but bought! Thanks OP!

That's because it's a population study. The more data they get, the more findings may change. Also because this is mainly just a comparison of you to the population, it's good to note that most of the data they have is only for people of European descent. Ie If you're not of European descent, then the results are going to be even more inaccurate

No, there are absolutely no privacy concerns with these companies selling your DNA to the highest bidder. If there were, we wouldn't have to pay for the honor! What's the worst that can happen anyway?

Also, your results can vary due to sampling (in case where you take multiple tests). As I understand, and by example,
  • Increased DNA participants potentially add or split or make more specific the locale(s) in your initial profile (% changes accordingly);
  • Sampling can vary % measured across the locales (potentially with trace % measuring 0% in a later sample; or vice versa)
Not an expert, but my own DNA "surprise" result motivated me to do a little research. ;-)

If you specifically want to determine sibling/half-sibling, etc. take a sibling DNA test.

Autosomal test methods like Ancestry don't quite get you there; they more measure "degrees of separation". The basis for dna commonality -- shared centimorgans -- falls into relational ranges by "distance" from/with you, and these ranges can overlap. So, for example, you may get a centimorgan match result of, say, 1700cM, which could be a half-sibling, full-aunt/uncle *or* full-niece/nephew.

FYI - return policy is a pain. Their policy states they will keep $25 per kit and no refund on shipping. So if you bought 3 for $138 like me, you're only getting ~$70 back.

I'm speaking with my cc company as I type this.
