23andme

[DieScum]

Anyone had their DNA analysed with 23andme?

99 dollars. Apparently I'm male, brown eyes, 3% Neanderthal and I have a higher risk of bottom cancer.

Amazing to see what they can do nowadays. I highly recommend it.

What other info do you get?

Loads. I have a low chance of diabetes 1, better than average genetics for memory, likely to be lactose tolerant, high pain threshold. I am a haemochromatosis carrier. Loads of stuff. They analyse a million SNPs.

It's amazing stuff. Highly recommend it to everyone.

That you were adopted/related to the milkman.

That's amazing. All that just from my DNA? Wow!

Thanks for the reminder - Been meaning to get it done, purely out of curiosity.

Being a haemochromatosis carrier means you're more likely to survive bubonic plague, and TB

Quick - quarantine him!

Hmm. $99 + $79 postage and packing. Any local providers?

Oooh, worth a look - surely tax deductible as wholly and exclusively to find out if I am cut out to be a contractor.....

I wanted to do this, but boyfriend said it might result in me having to declare to insurance firms - put me off.

I had my DNA analysed. Apparently it tasted salty or so she claimed.
