You were born with it and inherited it from your ancestors. Quite frankly, I think you are a paranoid nut job. If you don't feel comfortable sending way your DNA, then fine I completely understand. But your theory about being sued over your DNA is utterly ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-60490627034736207952012-10-14T11:14:40.652-07:002012-10-14T11:14:40.652-07:00Doesn't for profit companies storing your DNA ...Doesn't for profit companies storing your DNA scare you just a little bit? There have already been cases where for profit companies are trying to patent gene sequences. With the way companies go patent crazy then use those patents to go lawsuit happy, pretty soon they will be suing individuals like us because we contain those gene sequences. And they will be able to prove it in court because we gave our DNA to them. There is no way I will ever send my DNA off to any company for any kind of analysis. I would rather not know something than take the chance of getting sued over my own DNA. Trust me - this kind of thing -will- happen in the future....

I didnt see this one coming either. Genealogylibrary.com, Rootsweb, Footnote, Archives.com and now GeneTree? Wow!

I have used the SMGF database for free and found some good information about my genetic genealogy. I had heard that SMGF /Genetree was suffering from lack of ongoing funds. The down side would be that Ancestry may convert the database into one of their pay for service features. My cousin sent a sample to Genetree two months ago and he is still waiting for results. I hope these concerns will be addressed soon. <br /><br />Thanks for posting the announcement.Rootstechiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606037969765829721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-28770278632714753752012-05-03T11:29:49.487-07:002012-05-03T11:29:49.487-07:00...and genetic genealogy....and genetic genealogy.Your Genetic Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696248341534125135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-25659971432351880742012-05-03T11:29:27.162-07:002012-05-03T11:29:27.162-07:0023andMe uses the same Omni Express Genotyping base...23andMe uses the same Omni Express Genotyping base chip with 700k SNPs, but adds ~300k custom SNPS to it:<br />http://www.yourgeneticgenealogist.com/2010/11/news-from-23andme-consolidated.html<br /><br />No, they do not show any useful genetic info, therefore triangulation or chromosome mapping is impossible with their test.Your Genetic Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696248341534125135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-91984450010268027042012-05-03T11:24:55.190-07:002012-05-03T11:24:55.190-07:00I wonder the same thing JDR.
