I got a few messages from people because we were likely 2nd or 3rd cousins. I didn't really follow up though, because I joined for the medical information. I found out a lot of cool stuff in that regard though, but nothing life changing. It was cool (though not very surprising) that my genome is 100% northern european.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I'M FEELING 22


But in all seriousness, and to continue this post pretending I didn't quote Taylor Swift, nah, I haven't. I already know what my diseases my genes have and haven't given me (BRCA gene testing last year), and my mother went ancestry.com and research-crazy with our family tree a few years back (and had two people do gene testing on one of the loose ends), so I don't know if I'd get anything interesting out of it.

My understanding is that it can do more than test for possible diseases. You can also find out what kind of foods and exercises are most efficient for you.

You get a lot of information, disease susceptibility (various forms of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's among many others) is one piece. You also get known gene-medication interactions (such as Warfarin sensitivity) and carrier status for a lot of recessive traits. You also get trait information. Just a few examples - I have bitter-taste blindness and have 2 working copies of the gene that protects against male pattern baldness. You also get your caffeine and gluten sensitivities.

I really like it because they link to the studies they to make these claims, so I can read all this stuff myself.

I found out I'm from Africa on the paternal side.
One day I'm going to go there like Nas and T-Boz in Belly.

5/21/2013 12:32:20 PM

this sounds really cool. my interest is officially piqued.

5/21/2013 12:32:37 PM

Your sister is cute, hook a brother up

2/12/2023 1:44:56 AM

wasnt there a whole thing of them giving data to police or whatever and police using dna databases of the public to find criminals
plus you end up deanonymizing your relatives too, which makes the ethics of this interesting cause you give away their info too

2/12/2023 1:51:18 AM

1st pic looks like she might have plough experience

2/12/2023 9:38:36 AM

^^i am all for police using genealogy websites to solve crimes

2/12/2023 4:10:14 PM

Not my half sister. Daughter of my fathers brother.

2/12/2023 6:45:33 PM

So your first cousin

2/12/2023 6:55:44 PM

^^^ it is how they caught the golden state killer many years after he was out of the news

great youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT18KJouHWg&t=1238s

The only solution is to submit your dog's DNA sample as your own, that way if they ever try to track you down for murder with a familial DNA search, when your name pops up in the database it'll show that you're part labrador/part chihuahua and they'll know that a lab/chihuahua mix couldn't possibly have committed the crime

2/13/2023 8:36:07 PM

in other words it'll show that you're a bitch
