Featured Comments

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.

Yeah, I suspect that's the REAL reason certain people are against DNA testing.

Been waiting for these to go on sale! My sister gifted one to my Dad years back because he was interested in genealogy. She also did her own & shared her results (& log-in) with me. Same parents, so same genealogy, but I'd rather have a separate account for the messaging feature.

Quote from BenBen7 :
No one has even mentioned the best part of the deal. Free lifetime+ storage of all your DNA data on the dark web after the company is, invariably, breached.
And what will someone do with it once it's obtained from the dark web? Clone someone as the ultimate identity theft?

don't trust anyone with biometric data
not iris scans, not fingerprints, and certainly not DNA
you can't change it if its compromised
ever
and you don't know how this will be used in the far future

certainly don't want to do it if you're Jewish

This is like the Base version of a video game, gate-locked if you don't buy the deluxe package.


$40 for telling your Ancestry but can't access to the data bank.

Thanks I ordered 3 of these for myself and family. We did the 23 and Me, but it doesn't hurt to have this as well.

Quote from collectivefish :
Was looking for a deal on DNA testing. Got 4.
Will read reviews later and return if it has quality or privacy concerns.

Anyone know how good it is for South Asian Ancestry and health/diet predictions?
I think it's better with European, but you'll get continuous updates as they improve the models and add more finely grained regions. The traits seem to be marketed as "interesting to know" and should be taken with a grain of salt (unless you're predisposed to high-blood pressure), though anecdotally they seem pretty accurate.

Each company uses it's own database so if your family uses Ancestry then you get linked
