I’m responding to the March 13 Columbian story “Genes can be early warning system.”
Why would anyone fall for paying $395, or even $335, to The Vancouver Clinic to have their genome mapped when both Ancestry and 23andMe offer the very same service for half that much? When those companies have special offers, which they often do, the price is $79.
Both Ancestry and 23andMe sequence your entire genome (from the saliva sample you provide) and provide you with the results. Both offer extensive interpretation. The results are confidential, but you can share the results with your physicians. You can also find long-lost relatives.
I have had my genome sequenced by both companies with the very same results from both.
Beware the medical industrial complex.
