The details
23andMe is an at-home DNA testing kit that can help you get a more complete picture of your ancestry by using insights from your genetic data.
The kit’s personalized ancestry reports provide a comprehensive breakdown of your ancestry, providing information on where and when your ancestors lived. Users can even opt for a DNA relative locator, which allows them to connect with people who share their DNA.
Do you have freckles? An aversion to cilantro? Users can access over 30 trait reports that reveal how your genes make you unique.
The home test does not require blood or needles. All you need to do is send in your saliva sample kit and you can expect results in 4-5 weeks.
