23andme

I am curious to compare people's experience of customer support at various DNA testing companies. Here is my impression based on my experience. - Family Tree DNA: I have often been critical of this company (high prices, terrible MyOrigins and AncientOrigins report, etc.), but they do have a...

The new 23andMe experience, starting in 2016 and replacing the old version of other customers the early months of 2017, has been a disappointment for many veteran users. One major let down is that it is no longer possible to search for people with whom to share by location or other profile...

23andMe was founded in 2006. Its original test (v1) cost $998. It was replaced in September 2008 by a more affordable test (v2) that only cost $400 and really kickstarted the company's rise. Two years later, v3 was released, which increased the number of SNPs to close to one million. Oddly...

I was finally able to check the new Ancestry Timeline on 23andMe after my account was migrated to the new 23andMe experience. The verdict will be brief. It is a fraud. I have a complete paper genealogy for the last 7 generations in every line, and many lines go back over 400 years. All my...

I put my raw data through Promethease & got some "GoodNews" then looked at the "BadNews" section & it seemed to contain much of the same risk factors for various conditions. So does the Good and Bad average out to make me "Average?" I'm not a geneticist and I wish it was easier to figure out.

Is there anybody here knowledgeable with genetics and how 23andme analyses data that I could private message with, I have a sensitive issue that I don't want to discuss on the public forum. This would be looking at genome comparisons between siblings and parents... should be quick, I think I...

Here are my speculative ones: 100% European 98.4% Ashkenazi 0.3% North European 1.2% nonspecific European Here are my standard results: 100% European 95.1% Ashkenazi 4.9% nonspecific European Here are my conservative results: 99.6% European 78.5% Ashkenazi 21.2% Nonspecific European...

I don't. It was much nicer before. It looks as if they tried to copy their rival deCODEme and Navigenics, which is a mistake. Why would they want to show photos strange people on the main page ? This is a big no-no for me. It makes it look like a scam website trying to attract simple-minded...
