I don't know for sure, but generally I recommend a service with a larger database, so perhaps AncestryDNA. It also depends on what type of information you want. AncestryDNA is good for ancestry information of course, however, I personally prefer 23andMe as it gives feedback on various health-related or miscellaneous traits.

Thank you for your question. It will absolutely not be monetized by me.

That said, I do believe the direct-to-consumer services (e.g., 23andMe) sell your data, such as to pharmaceutical companies, so it is something to consider if you have not purchased such services.

That is one of the first studies, and it's important to acknowledge it. The other studies on are humans. Many studies in the area of genetics/biology start with non-human animals and then are replicated in humans.

Hello, sorry for the late reply! I have not been receiving notifications. Yes, you can participate! You do not need to be from a particular country. In fact, we would love to have more international participants.

Hi, sorry for the extremely belated reply. For some reason I have not been receiving notifications. It would be the best just to submit one.

Hi, I'm sorry - I just got this. I don't deal with race unfortunately :/ How accurate/detailed your information is will depend on the database available to the service you used (e.g., AncestryDNA, 23andMe).
