I think what motivated me to test was for a sense of genetic identity or placement.
A few years ago, I did the DNA tribes STR 21-Marker test with the Europa add-on. At the time, I wasn't aware of STR's shortcomings as compared to SNP testing that some of the other companies offer and is now considered De facto. But I don't regret using them as it was still interesting to see and acted as a catalyst in helping familiarize myself more with genetics.
I have since tested via 23andMe - and I agree, having access to your raw data file is among the best features they provide; especially for DIY types like myself and others on the forum who like to run numbers.
My 23andme sample got to their labs in 23rd of may. They say it's gonna take 4-6 weeks. How long do you think I have left consdiering it's been 2 weeks and 2 days since it got there?
They are generally a very responsible company so you will probably receive your results as per scheduled - but keep in mind that since the price dropped to $99 USD in December, they may have an inordinate amount of new customers and this may produce a slight delay.Quote:

No.Because I am not that interested in the results.
bump.
Yes, but I'm sorry to have to say that I can't remember the name of the company. I had a Y-DNA test done because I know nothing about my father's ancestry. I still know nothing about it. Apparently, I'm a changeling, the offspring of some space alien. At 12/12 sites, my Y-DNA doesn't match that of anyone they had tested up to that time. In fact, there are only scattered matches at 11/12 sites. However, at 10/12 sites (around 30,000 years ago,I'm told) I suddenly have about a dozen matches each in Germany and Switzerland.
I haven't because I have better things to do with $100 and it doesn't really matter to me what I'd find out. It's possible I might one day when $100 is worth a penny to me unlike now. Not sure what I'd do with the information even if i did know. Can it tell me about diseases I could possibly be predisposed to?
