23andMe DNA Processing Lab Video

23andMe DNA testing is fairly simple: order, spit, see your data. But between you putting your sample in the mail and us alerting you that your data is ready, a lot goes on at our laboratory. Watch this video to see what happens once your sample arrives at our lab.

I’m glad this exists. I was wondering

[Shedgie]

I swear to god if my test fails again I’m gonna scream

[sba]

is it possible to see the age of my genetic blueprint? I like the idea of seeing my neanderthal dna %, but I would be way more interested in finding out how many new mutations I carry compared to the average; it would allow people to better judge how much they have adapted to the modern world, compared to how we were as hunter gatherers for example.

The video is not good. Too hard to read white words on a light background.

Dear 23andMe team, do you have a laboratory for European costumers in Europe too? Or do you send all samples too the United States ?

I just failed extraction. What are the chances I'll fail the second time and should I scrape my cheek?

[gabumonboys]

Bruh why are some of the samples straight up yellow tf???

[tiopeperino]

dang, now I see 0:21 - and I just sent my sample with liquid exactly right above the FILL TO line, will this be just enough, or did I just failed!? did I f!@# read the instructions right?

I’m still waiting on mine but my full siblings already did theirs. How can subs be different if from same parents? Also, I know people always say they were told they have Native American ancestors but many are wrong and they find out from this test? But is it really that precise? I know for a fact that our great great grandmother is on the Final Dawe’s roll as full Creek by blood but my sibs test showed little to no Native percentage 🤷🏻‍♀️Why? I know great great isn’t super recent but I thought it would show something.

Great Video! I really want to buy this! How long does this entire process take? Also, What would happen if I gave you the DNA of a dog?

[candyazz]

Why aren't they wearing hairnets?

Hi if someone ingested some bleach (hypothetically) will the sample fail?
