I do DNA tests mainly to find out about my ancestors, especially the
Cooleys since I get my Y-chromosome from them, but I take DNA tests for
other reasons too.That's why I've taken pretty much every DNA test by every
testing company since 2005 -- and I will take interesting new DNA tests in
the future. (At least the ones I can afford. Someday I hope to take FTDNA's
Big-Y test.)
From 23andMe (watch the short video):
"Since we began collecting genetic data in 2008, we've looked at a broad
range of topics -- from Parkinson's Disease to motion sickness. Watch this
video to hear how our researchers aim to accelerate the pace of biomedical
research." ~ 23andMe
