We got the family package and were pleased with the results. My wife was even offered a free package to give to relatives because her genome was so unique to them.
Note that you can download the raw data from 23andMe and go to the public http://www.snpedia.com http://www.snpedia.com and use the app they have (Promethease) to get lots of additional details that match your individual SNPs/genes.
Most of the SNPedia data (that 23andMe didn't have) was from newer studies without massive amounts of confidence, but it was still fairly interesting.
- thorax 17y agoI was surprised to see my above comment copied to the parent blog link as if it was a comment on the blog itself. What's the software driving that? Very disconcerting and pretty cool at the same time. Makes me hesitate to comment on YC, though, when the comment could be taken out of context when read elsewhere.
- PStamatiou 17y agoI'm using a plugin by YC company BackType. it's called BackType connect. I agree that there are some issues with context, especially when it doesnt currently thread stuff. Which is why I opted for those comments to be pushed to the bottom, after regular comments on my blog.
