Too bad cause I thought it was very insightful and helpful. For example, it would inform you bout genetic markers that make you prone to many illnesses such as Parkinsons, etc.

ETA: Filed Bankruptcy this morning

Sequencing.com is where you want to go. Very comprehensive reporting in regard to genetic markers for all organ systems. And, they are committed to your privacy.

edited to add: they don't link you to other people in the database. You won't get contacted by a half-sibling you didn't know you had in Vancouver.

i firmly believe all these dna companies were nothing more than front for our government to get a blueprint of everyone's DNA.

every last one of these has surrendered DNA data to law enforcement for various investigations.

bookmark this page for if/when elon or trump get to that part of the 'dark funding' at one of our dozens of Godless agencies.

FedGov got it already in the early 90s. OPM helpfully released everything about me that wasn't DNA to the Chinese 20 years later.

That sounds oddly specific.

Ancestry.com DNA has worried me a bit. Ancestry's genealogical database was developed by the Mormon Church. The connection between the Church and the for-profit company are blurred.

23&Me's shortcoming is that they didn't stick participants with a perpetua[ fee. Ancestry.com takes an annual bite.
