It’s never before been this easy or affordable to access information about your genetic sequence. Before the founding of the direct-to-consumer DNA testing industry, genetic information was mainly used in the context of forensic analysis. Now, however, companies like 23andMe, Ancestry.com, and MyHeritage have pioneered a new age where DNA reports are discussed over boozy brunch.
Of the many companies that now offer at-home DNA testing, 23andMe was the first to introduce saliva-based tests, as well as the first to use autosomal DNA (with other major companies following suit). It’s consistently been one of the most popular genetic testing companies since its inception in 2006. With over 12 million individuals’ information in their database, 23andMe can connect you with distant relatives you never even knew you had.
In addition to building a family tree from your genetic sample, the Ancestry feature includes information about your ancestral composition and haplogroups, as well as reports for 30+ traits associated with genetic composition, including physical appearance and gastronomic preferences. The Health feature provides reports on predisposition to inherited health conditions.
Unlike the basic Ancestry + Traits service, the Health + Ancestry option includes carrier status reports and also estimates your genetic disposition towards weight and muscle composition, so that you can understand your body a little more.
The basic Ancestry + Traits service regularly costs $99, while the Health + Ancestry is regularly $199, but for a limited time, snag the advanced, comprehensive Health + Ancestry kit for the price of the former at just $99.
