DNA Kits

Does anyone have any input on which ones are best (23 and Me, Ancestry, etc.)? Any personal experience? I am looking to get one of these as a gift but not sure which to go with even after research.

Unless you don't care that someone has not only all of your personal info, but genetic info as well, none of them.

Just Google which one the FBI recommends or commit a felony and the government will take your DNA for free.

Pick 2 and then compare the results.

That's the info I'm seeing from some recent reports on the net. Send off to 2 different companies and get back 2 sets of conflicting results is what some researchers found.

The Ancestry one is good if you have an account on the site and want to make connections with unknown relatives to help build your family tree. I am not sure how good it is if not connected with an Ancestry account/tree.

Bill Burr talks about this in his standup routine. Watch it, and get back to us?

Don't do it!! You've been warned.

It's just another way for people to spy on you

I got a 23 and me kit someone gave me. Didn't take it yet.

No they're not.
But in all fairness you have to be intelligent enough to complete the test properly.

Heard a report where twins sent there DNA and got completely different reports. Lol.

A fool and his money are soon parted.
WTF does it matter if you're 0.4383% Pitjantdijaran?

Got 23andme for Xmas and did the ancestry portion last month.
Results came back pretty much as we expected given where my great-grandparents are from, but got to find out roughly what percentage of each lineage I can trace back to.
Didn't give them my full name, birthday, or any contact info.

They've all been a pretty big help in closing a few cold cases.
