What Happens to Data From At-Home Ancestry DNA Kits?
LabRoots Inc. | July 18, 2018
Home DNA kits are extremely popular now. Bringing DNA and genetic testing to the home market is a huge advance in science and technology, but what are the risks? Current testing methods allow a researcher with a DNA sample to find out information on ancestry, ethnic origin, medical history, diseases that could be inherited and even skincare and diet recommendations. The kits are a bit pricey but have come down significantly and during the 2017 holiday shopping season, they were a trendy gift for friends and family who were interested in genealogy research.
