23andMe Reports

[DeStrider]

I keep seeing references to 23andMe reports about your genome. I had signed up for their service many years back and never received such a report. All the reports were generic - like you are not going to go bald or you have superior athletic muscles (really?) What service tells you about your genome? I would be very interested in checking my genomic sequence for different genes. Thanks!

I bought Ancestry a few years ago. Recently they have sent me a couple of reports with personality traits and a very slight revision to my ethnicity percentage breakdown. I haven’t gotten anything that resembles a genomic sequence.

Both of you need to request a download and then upload to a site like promethease but keeping in mind the FDA neutered promethease reports and with 23andme and ancestry you don’t get a full genome anyway

Would appreciate guidance on the best services, both to collect sample and to provide analysis. I used 23&Me and Promethease and learned about two significant (Magnitude 4) risk phenotypes that I have. That was certainly worth the price of admssion! But would welcome more insight into the overall genetics.

Best way to mine 23&me raw data?

Hivemind, I want to ask your advice on the best way to use 23&me raw data to learn about genetic particulars that could affect our regime or supplement decisions. What 23&me gives us in terms of reports is pretty scant. I know there are services out there, mostly paid, that take your raw output and give you a more granular view. For example, certain alleles make one a poor absorber of Vit D but there’s dozens of nuggets like this. What have you used in the past, what have you got out of it in terms of data, what was the cost and were you satisfied? What did you learn about your specific genetic makeup?

I recommend Nebula genomics for analysis.

Did the results lead you to any changes in supplementation or lifestyle, diet, etc.?
