23andMe empowers individuals to learn what the latest genetic research means for them and enables consumers to actively participate in research that can lead to meaningful discoveries that can impact our understanding or treatments for disease.
Once your sample has been processed, you’ll receive data on nearly 1 million places in your genome, information about your distant ancestry, and access to more than 180 health reports (optional). With the Personal Genome Service®, we’ll also help you connect with potential relatives to fill out your family tree and keep you up to date on the latest research linking genetics to your health and traits.
Existing customers on our v2 genotyping platform can also take advantage of this sale to upgrade to the latest v3 platform for the same price.
