23 and me is a BAD VENDOR. Profit driven, using your data in stuff they sell to others that is supposed to be anonymized but wasn't or wasn't properly (more than once). They've been hacked by China (most recent one: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/04...ion-users/), too. Our neighbor down the street has a daughter that worked there from the beginning and has plenty of horror stories. Never do 23 and me.
Never.
I don't believe Ancestry proper has been hacked. Their subsidiary rootsweb was in 2017, but unlike 23 and me, they didn't blame their customers for their system's security failure. I know plenty who have done Ancestry and found blood relatives they didn't know they had. So, and easy recommendation for Ancestry, especially at this price!
Share your genetic and racial info for free in their data records. Your insurance might access them in future to decipher about your health issues down the lane. Dont share your DNA period.
Don't waste your money on this crap. I did mine with 23andme and they asked a ton of survey questions about my origin and the results they provided was exactly what I gave them. It took them 3 mths for providing nothing more than I already know. It is a total scam.

Enjoy making law enforcement have an easy time prosecuting you and any family member who commits a crime and they recover DNA in the future. And hackers too can get your DNA and potentially use it against you. And people are paying for giving up their constitutional priviledge?
There is serious concerns brewing that 23andme is in serious financial trouble and will get bought out for their trove of DNA they have on so many people.
Probably the same sort of people who yell and scream when they hear their data was hacked.. It's not an issue until it is... People have the right to do foolish things... And I am grateful
But I like to give people something to think about. They can do as they wish

Only a fool submits DNA (or anything else!) to these companies. Might want to check how many times they have been hacked and that data stolen, not to mention how many "partners" these shady companies "share" said data with. I'm honestly speechless that so many fools have done these and similar. What could possibly go wrong?
I don't care a lick about the ancestry part, is this as good as any other for genetic information that I can upload into a service like Promethease?
A few years ago, before 23andme had such bad hacks and whatnot, Promethease (the .com company that analyzes results and tells you more health data) Promethease had 23andme's tests at the top because they analyze more SNPs (basically points of data.)
From memory, ancestry gave you raw data for something like 87 vs something like 129 for 23andme because they are focused not on health data, but on ancestry. They're still at the top when you look at their website, so the exact numbers might have changed, but I'm assuming you'd get a bit more data from 23.
Again this was before all the breaches
edit: I just did some research because the DNA decoding hardware used evolves very quickly for each company, it looks like ancestry has 58k of data while 23andme has 24k now, so situations have reversed, probably because 23andme has been tanking.

We've All done very stupid things, but after all these years, hacks, privacy issues, and DNA?! And you still do it, no less PAY? Sorry, but you're either a darn fool, or must have a very specific need, on your death bed, and couldn't care less... To those I'd say, care about humanity, and if desperate, go to a medical facility for DNA testing.

I already did this and regretted it. Any way to permanently delete my data from their database?

There is no language in the linked paper says it was hacked by china
Pay the extra $1 to get the World Explorer membership. The $39 box only gets you DNA, Origins and Ethnicity.
I'm convinced this is on purpose. All those poor souls that buy the $39 kit that then want to do research will have to cough up much more than $1 to do so.
If one were to buy several of these, do they have a shelf life? I have an adopted cousin that will give these away to people they find in their research in order to get them to take the test.
Do not do any of these services. There's been constant battles over legislation to protect consumers from insurance companies being able to obtain and use this data against us. Do not put yourselves or family at risk if they finally get their way. Most people can figure out enough of their heritage, you don't need every little detail about from one of these data mining companies

What if you gave fake name and no origin info, so in case of hacks (when and not if), even though your DNA info has been hacked, it's not tied to your name.
Has anyone been successful in doing these tests without real name?

Curious to do the ancestryDNA to compare 23andme results.
