  I am getting a bone marrow transplant in early May. What DNA tests should I get before the BMT? My main objective is to use DNA to help with researching genealogy. I've already done the tests from ancestry.com and 23 and me. Are there any other DNA tests that could help at some point? - Source: Reddit / 2 days ago

  Here's a website which can be used for free. The most comfortable option would probably be to use one of the services like ancestry.com or similar, but of course they will charge. - Source: Reddit / 9 days ago

• Advice on where to start/look?

  So, when ancestry.com says you're "40% Scottish, 40% German and 20% Swiss" ... well, those percentages hold true only for what they could identify. You might be 50% "Cherokee " and 20% Scottish, 20% German and 10% Swiss. Read the DNA results as "40% of what we could identify was Scottish, etc.". - Source: Reddit / 7 days ago

• I think I’ve lost ability to sympathize

  I am not there yet....I have to say, I have more sadness of man's inhumanity to man, but I think it is my own revelationss around my family that has caused that....I did a DNA test on ancestry.com. Found my father and his family. Not good, not all bad either. The kids are mostly good, he was not......Neville was a manifestation too it is like learning I can create so I can also pick who I want to be.... - Source: Reddit / 8 days ago

• Inquiry about using CircleDNA Raw Data (TAB-delimited GVCF)

  Also, I checked some generated samples from 23andme and ancestry.com, their formats look very similar or easily converted with few line of codes but their raw files doesn't include this: "chr1:13222:C chr1 13222 C/C" so I'm not sure if this holds any valuable information. - Source: Reddit / 8 days ago

• This had me crying 🤣

  Well, if you're testing the embryo/before birth then it does cost a lot more and is a riskier procedure, so I think perhaps that was the 15k reference looking back at my comment. if its after birth, which is after you sign the birth certificate (so prob not this situation), then you can use 23andme or ancestry.com or whatever. - Source: Reddit / 10 days ago
