The info is sold to insurance companies and to the NCIC (National Crime Information Center)
Ask the kid from Clinton MS after he gave sample to Ancestry.com and why he was arrested for a crime in Colorado.

Don't know about 23 and me but if you do it through ancestry then the mormons will have you DNA. Who knows what they will do with it.

If it weren't for promethease and similar sites, the 23andme data would be near useless by itself, as it's no longer allowed to tell you that sort of stuff (FDA crackdown).
What do you mean?

I did and the result indicated that I shared DNA with the small % of a clan of people with males possessing greater than a 12.5" penis. I am elated that I finally "fit in" somewhere and am not just a physical freak!

Congrats on the clones they've made of you.

23andme's wellness reports are basic:
Traits are mostly high-school biology... hair color, widows peak, etc. Stuff you probably already know about yourself. 23andme is not allowed to call out the kind of stuff that you'll get from inputing your raw data into promethease, such as risk factors for diabetes, obesity, cancers, heart disease, metabolism of certain drugs, etc.
In promethease, you'll want to pay attention to how this information was obtained -- for example, it might tell you that you have a genotype that makes you 2x more likely to get prostate cancer, but the details might say it's based on a study of 25 Korean people -- hardly conclusive. That's probably why 23andme fell into some hot water -- the range of quality in studies leads to somewhat questionable data, but all its customers see are the conclusions that they interpret as medical advice.

The medical stuff is interesting on 23 but ancestry helps people find people. Wife adopted. Found mother, father, 2 sisters & 2 brothers

Here's what 23andme shows me:
It shows relatives too (I cropped out the names):
I have thousands of DNA relatives, but most of them are labeled "third to distant cousin" in which I share less than a quarter of a percent of DNA.

I did it years ago. They sent me a cool family tree map thing that connected all of the relatives. The weird thing is, it was a circle.
I'm from Alabama

I thought about it, but I'm lazy and your mom wasn't available to provide a sample of my DNA.

I did it. Turns out I was secretly raised by a pack of wolves.

You can message them like any other social media site.

here are some examples of familytreeDNA, This is paternal, we did maternal as well
DNA migration path
Linked relatives, red is closest. red in Scotland had same last name.

Does it message an entire group of people? Sorry but I don't understand. My wife's results just said % and country names etc. There were no actual names of potential relatives.

No. My skin is much darker than anyone in my immediate family. Not trying to pay $200 to confirm I'm secretly adopted.

on familytreeDNA it messages your account and you can chose to respond or you can join groups as well
