Genetics/Ancestry tests

No, you would need a methylation assay to determine which genes came from which parent. You can link your parents' accounts to your account on 23 and me if they take the test too, though, and then I think it might tell you something. I haven't tried that though because I never got the test taken even though my parents did.

Don't know about South Americans, but North Americans are notoriously opposed to DNA testing since they view it as another encroachment of the white man telling them what to do, which is a stance that makes perfect sense from their point of view but from a geneticist's point of view it must be pretty frustrating.

wut

Because of genomic imprinting.

From what I understand most of these companies do it by having you rub a q-tip on the inside of your cheek...? What if you have a fungus problem on the inside of your cheeks; would that affect results? Will I come back 20% lichen?

How is ancestryDOTcom? They seem to be the most favored one.

>23 and me is horrible. It's a fucking joke.
elaborate

Only some genes are imprinted... You should probably refresh your genetics knowledge.

Who gets gassed first, me or OP?

how does this compare to what you thought your results would be?
