any update on the test yet?

Also really curious about this, might be worth checking it out myself depending on what it looks like.

They got my sample about a week and a half ago. They say it takes 5-6 weeks to get my results.

I think the use of genetic testing could be very beneficial. There are several things that you would be able to learn through genetic testing, like: ancestry, health, and research. You will be able to follow your DNA link to other people that are related to you that you would have not known before. Also, you can see if your DNA can be linked to severe illnesses which you can start to prevent right away, or have something "supernatural" in your DNA. Lastly, if your DNA does have a link to something breathtaking, research can be done on your DNA to try to find a cure, or fix it in future generations.

make sure you post them up, im thinking about doing the same. gene therapy could really help out later in life

When you get results please share. If you think it was worth it I'd be interested in having it done myself!

Pretty curious how at sophisticated it is now... You know how many different things they test for?



Love that movie

they kidnap you and probe you .

Alright guys, I have most of the results. They are still running one test on my ancestry. That will give me estimated ethnic percentages.

The maternal line is determined by analyzing mitochondrial DNA since we inherit our cell organelles from our mothers only. Anyway, my maternal haplogroup is J2a1a. Unfortunately, there isn't much information about this group....they started out in the Middle East (like all Europeans) and wandered all over Europe ranging from Scandinavia to Italy.

"Subgroup J2a may be indigenous to Europe, where it appears to have originated during the peak of the Ice Age about 20,000 years ago. About 5,000 years ago the haplogroup began expanding, perhaps from the Balkans, into the Alpine area of central Europe. Then the group split, with one branch migrating south into Italy and Spain and another heading north into Germany and Scandinavia.

Today, J2a can be found among about 4% of people living in Denmark and northern Germany. It is also found in England and parts of Scotland, where the haplogroup is thought to have entered with Jute and Saxon invaders during the 5th and 6th centuries AD. In fact, scientists have recently been able to extract DNA from Anglo-Saxon skeletons buried in English cemeteries from the 5th to 7th centuries AD. Analyses of those samples indicate that haplogroup J was at least as common in medieval English populations as it is today. But like the Anglo-Saxons themselves the J2a haplogroup never reached more remote parts of Britain such as highland Scotland and Wales, where Celtic-speaking populations persisted into modern times."


Since I'm a guy, you can trace the DNA found in the Y chromosome pretty far (my paternal line). My paternal haplogroup is R1b1b2a1a2f*. The * means that my haplogroup doesn't fit into any of the other subgroups. Usually this happens during some sort of rapid population expansion. Basically, I'm part of a unique subset of the R1b1b2a1a2f subgroup. Anyway, the group corresponds to Ireland/Britain. This makes sense since my paternal great grandfather hails from the Isle of Man. It's possible that I'm a direct descendant of a 4th century Irish king named Niall of the Nine Hostages. In addition, I share a paternal ancestor with Stephen Colbert (he is part of the same haplogroup).

Health information post coming soon!

That's super cool
