I got 23andMe kits for me, my husband, and my brother last year. There are a lot of fun tools online you can use with your raw data.

GEDMatch: more in-depth information about your ancestry
Promethease: detailed health reports
Genetic Heredity Calculator: predicts your genetic traits

Which chromosome pair predisposes you to floor pizza?

Apparently there are genes that predispose one to poor decision-making.

How different can the results be for full siblings?

My brother and I both took the test. 23andMe confirmed that we are full siblings and share 50.9% of our DNA.

Because full siblings share on average half of their DNA, the SNPs they inherit are associated with different ancestries, which can result in rather different ancestry results.

For example, 23andMe describes us both as ethnically Eastern European, but my brother got a lot more Eastern European DNA.

I keep seeing Scandinavian in the results posted here. My question is whether Saami, Samoyed or other ethnic groups from the north are identified?

Wouldn't they be included in Finnish?

So 23 and me used to tell you what diseases you might get, but doesn't anymore? Is there anyone who still gives you that sort of information? I'm kinda curious.

They removed it because of the FDA, but they've added a lot back now. I was grandfathered in since I bought the kit without health reports for $99, but now they're charging $199.

A service called Promethease will take your raw 23andMe data and give you a detailed health report.
