User questions & answers

Question:	Hello, can we use the swab on anything the child drank out of, put mouth on, etc? Or will the test only work with a swabbing inside the cheek
Answer:	Per instructions, you must swab the cheek after the person has nothing to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes to collect enough of the DNA sample.
Question:	trying to get an idea on how long it takes to get to the lab, where is the lab located
Answer:	When you send the package you will get a tracking number. I am in Virginia and it took two days for it to arrive at in Texas.
Question:	Can two kids swab to see if they are biological
Answer:	The DNA kit can be used for a sibling DNA test, but there is a price difference. Please contact our Customer Service team at 575-915-1030 and they will be able to assist you with it.
Question:	Can this test be used for a child and paternal grandparent

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does this brand lump british & irish together? (i noticed ancestry dna lists them separately). the genes are significantly different. thanks
Answer:	It will if you have a significant difference, if that is the case, it will drill down to say Irish. For instance, my husband (who is from Ireland) was 99% British and Irish, and then drilled down to 99% Irish. I was 88% from Spain and Portugal (I'm from Portugal) and then drilled down to 88% Portugal. I never mentioned to them I was from Portugal so the fact that they determined that I was Portuguese and not Spanish or a mixture was a surprise. Now, if you only have a small percentage they may not be able to distinguish between the two groups. Hope this helped!
Question:	Does this test include access to raw data
Answer:	There is access to your raw data, however if you recently took the test and have results under the V5 chip, you will not be able to upload to many third party sites at this time as this raw data is not yet supportrd
Question:	In regards to finding out my Native American roots, will this provide ancestral records to tribal affiliation
Answer:	Not only will it not provide tribal affiliation, there is a notable rate of false negatives for Native American ancestry in DNA testing right now (both 23andme and other companies). Meaning these results might say you have zero Native ancestry even when you do have some. People who have their family tree well documented and live on reservations have had this happen, due to the comparison samples the companies use to test against.
Question:	do i pay for shipping to return test
Answer:	you don't need to pay for return shipping but you'll probably need to send it more than once because they lose kits all the time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hello i bought this kit about 3 months ago and i found it a few days ago after i lost it, do they expire ? i tried logging in says” account inactive
Answer:	Hi! No, the kit doesn't expire. Have you submitted the samples yet? Until your results are ready, you'll get the "account inactive" message when trying to log in. To check on the status of your test, call us directly at 1-800-329-3758 (M-F, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Eastern).
Question:	Can you swab mother and father for results
Answer:	For a paternity test, there needs to be at least one child and one possible father. The mother can also participate to help strengthen results, but her DNA is not usually required.
Question:	Do you just need the child and fathers dna? Not the mothers
Answer:	Yes. Although the mother's DNA can help strengthen results under certain circumstances, it is usually not required. Should it turn out to be needed, the lab will suspend testing and ask for the mother's samples. We'll then include her in the test at no extra charge.
Question:	My tracking hasn’t said my kit has reached the testing facility after 2 weeks. Should I call the facility
Answer:	My kit reached the facility in 3 days but didn't get to a tech for 2 weeks. I would call the facility to see if it got lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is DNA paternity testing?

• DNA testing is the most accurate method available for determining paternity. Its power lies in the ability to trace the pattern of inheritance for separate regions of the genetic material (chromosomes). From this information a probability of paternity can be calculated. This number reaches 99.99999% in most cases. The percentage of random men of the same race that can be excluded as the biological father is also computed for every case.

Does the mother have to be tested as well?

• No, although results cannot be as conclusive. Ideally, the mother, child, and alleged father should be tested. A child receives half of their DNA from their mother, and the other half from their father. Because the DNA half that the child receives from the mother will match the mother's DNA exactly, the remaining unmatched DNA matches the biological father.

Can I test more than one child or alleged parent?

• Yes, for an additional charge.

• A FEW SIMPLE STEPS: Discover your DNA story with our easy-to-follow instructions. Simply activate your DNA kit online and return your saliva sample in the prepaid package to our state-of-the-art lab. In roughly six to eight weeks, your results will be ready online.
• TOP-SELLING CONSUMER DNA TEST: From your origins in over 1,000 regions to the most connections to living relatives, no other DNA test kit delivers an experience as unique and interactive as an AncestryDNA kit.
• PRECISE ETHNICITY AND LIVING RELATIVES: A more precise ethnicity estimate with greater geographic detail and in-depth historical insights connects you to the places in the world where your story started—from unique regions to living relatives.
• BUILD A FAMILY TREE: Combine what you learn from your DNA with an Ancestry subscription, for access to millions of family trees and billions of records, for even more insight into your genealogy and origins.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the results give countries or just continents? I would like one that gives specific countries
Answer:	Just a general response to all the older responses to questions. All of the DNA companies are constantly changing their DNA results. The more people that have the test, that more data goes into improving the accuracy and/or improves the ability to be more specific. Therefore, just wanted to say, as time goes on, the older responses may no longer be valid.
Question:	Do you get both maternal and paternal lines with this test
Answer:	Not distinct, separate lines, no. But you do get those results, just mixed up. AncestryDNA tests only autosomal chromosomes; that is, non-sex chromosomes. These are the 22 chromosomes everyone has regardless of gender. That means your results will show both your parents' ancestry, even if you're female, but it'll be combined - you won't be able to tell which parent provided which country or DNA result. For maternal- and paternal-specific ancestry (mtDNA and YDNA, respectively), 23andme provides this testing. AncestryDNA stopped doing it in 2014 (see https://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2014/06/12/comments-on-y-dna-and-mtdna-tests/). I recommend doing both AncestryDNA and 23andme for a more comprehensive picture of your background. And if you're female, ask a male relative (father, brother, paternal uncle) to do 23andme so you can extrapolate your paternal YDNA and haplogroup, since females do not carry the Y sex chromosome. Again, this is not available via AncestryDNA.If you are only interested in overall, general, "big-picture" results, and aren't concerned with specifics like which part of the world your maternal/paternal line came from per se, or your haplogroups, then AncestryDNA is the way to go.
Question:	Are these results on a par with 23andme? Are they identical or is there more info or less
Answer:	Depends on what you’re using it for. I took Ancestry and my sister to 23andme. We were looking to confirm our relatives not our ethnicity. We had way more matches and have been able to find common ancestors with other DNA matches. 23 and me is harder to sort through the matches and I’m not sure If you can even see other people’s family trees as i haven’t figured it out in almost a year
Question:	How many past generations does this test go back? Will it test going back a few hundred years
Answer:	That depends on your ancestry and the number of people of similar ancestry who have tested. Biggest group is European heritage. I have 6th and 7th generation matches going back to colonial New England because there was a good degree of pedigree collapse (genetic reinforcement due to small populations intermarrying) The majority of matches will be in the 4th cousin range. However, matches are pointless unless you have a decent family tree (at least 4 generations) and respond to messages because you will not be able to make the connections otherwise.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the saliva still work for the test after 2 months? I have to ship the saliva from Panama
Answer:	As long as you've added the buffer solution to your sample, it's good for up to six months. However, 23andMe sample kits must be used in and returned for analysis from, the country to which the order is originally shipped.
Question:	Im confused! some reviews say the government banned health reports yet 23&me advertises a health report. what am i missing

Question:	It says one lithium battery required? What does that mean
Answer:	No batteries are required.
Question:	do i get the same results from promethease for the $99 23&me kit as the $199 kit? which one should i get??? ty
Answer:	I would say that yes you get the same results. Or atleast that is my understanding from this statement that was on the promethease website."23andMe $99 "ancestry only" product, is sufficient for Promethease, or the $199 "ancestry + health" product, which also includes carrier status reports. One time payment, lifetime membership. Both products use the (same) customized Illumina chip which covers 25695 of the 94743 SNPs in SNPedia. Less than 2,000 of these are known to be in ClinVar; presumably some of the proprietarily named "i-SNPs" correspond to ClinVar/SNPedia entries as well but 23andMe does not reveal which publicly or to its non-corporate users."https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Testing

User questions & answers

Question:	It says you need an Ancestry account. Do you have to pay for their online site
Answer:	No, you don't have to pay, yet again, to see your results. If you want to see how you relate to other people via your DNA, yes, you do need a subscription. There is a 50% discount for the first 6 months or so, but you need to ask for it. I found my Father using Ancestry, BTW.
Question:	What happens to your DNA once the test is performed
Answer:	Nothing happens to it. If you are worried about someone somehow getting into the database your account is only identified as a random number. You can also send in the test under a fake name (few in my family did this, used a Pets name the street name) Only downside to doing that is you won’t be able to link to any potential relatives. At the end of the day I know DNA can be obtained from just about anything I touch or use in so if someone really wants it they can get it -shrug-
Question:	Does this kit provide info about genetic snp's like mthfr mutations
Answer:	The AncestryDNA or 23 and Me “Ethnicity + HEALTH” tests DO provide info as to what gene mutations you have and a list of what health issues you are dispositioned for due to said mutation. I, for instance, found out I have the MTHFR gene mutation. I learned who I got it from & some scary stuff, such as, being dispositioned for Schizophrenia and miscarriages (and about 99 more things). It is really hard to find a doctor who knows anything about it. You’d need to visit mthfr(dot)net and research for yourself. Sadly.
Question:	Why should i buy from amazon when there is a disclaimer stating not to because the kit could be rejected
Answer:	What the others above said was correct. It’s sold by Ancestry but shipped by Amazon. (Like most things here. Brands/sellers are selling their item on Amazon & Amazon ships. I just got my results back & my adult son should have his back any day. Super easy process and it’s fun! I was very surprised by mine. 100% Trusted to buy from Amazon. If you buy it from Ancestry site you’ll be paying like $40 in shipping (I think it’s actually more than $40) & why I purchased them here! Good luck!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be bought and given as a gift? Inside the box is there a form to send when you mail your sample, telling where to send the results
Answer:	Hi, You are using too much water. Wring the sponge well, flap or pat dry the paper after wetting. If paint continues to get too thin, leave lid off to allow evaporation. Add a touch of household ammonia to the water before soaking sponge and paper. This keeps everything fresh and helps reduce skimming while open. When dry enough, mist lightly to maintain proper moisture and prevent skim.
Question:	Does the finger prick hurt? And is it difficult to do yourself
Answer:	Yes. It comes with the spongy layer and some paper. The paper is actually washable, so I just rinse it off and reuse it. I've even scrubbed it lightly with a sponge. It's a different kind of paper. Some stains remain but they don't hurt anything. I use one side then turn it over and use the other side. I've used one sheet of paper for awhile now.
Question:	Do they provide results on Saturday
Answer:	Avoid using chemicals in your wet palette that threaten to affect the characteristics of the paint like dish soap, peroxide, alcohol, and vinegar. FOR EXAMPLE: dish soap reduced surface tension of water and will change how the paint flows; vinegar is an acid and could change the pH of the acrylic - destroying its pigment binding chemistry and potentially causing the paint to reactivate when it gets wet; alcohols (including Listerine with alcohol) significantly speeds up the paint drying time (exactly what you don't want in a wet palette); and hydrogen peroxide will cause pigment clumping - causing interesting but uncontrollable effects on saturation and contrast. Three one-cent pennies under the sponge will effectively inhibit mold, mildew, bacteria because copper ions are anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. The thin copper plating on the newer zinc (post 1982) pennies are enough to prevent microbial growth. Do use distilled water.
Question:	I know it says test ready at 9weeks, what if I did it at 8 weeks
Answer:	We have only used it with acrylic paints, but it says in the description that it is compatible with oils.

You will receive a test kit that provides everything you need to take the test, from the comfort of your home. Three lancets are included that you use to prick your finger to collect 7-10 drops in a small test tube. The sample is then mailed back to SneakPeek Labs for analysis.

How is my privacy protected?

We know information surrounding your DNA is sensitive. To protect your privacy we do the following:

• SneakPeek tests only for baby’s gender. No data is gathered about disease states or other health-related information.
• After the test is run, your DNA sample is transferred to a professional chemical management company for immediate disposal in compliance with federal regulations.
• SneakPeek never shares your results with anyone other than the email address you provide.

Is this test safe?

SneakPeek Clinical is a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), and it’s safe for both mom and baby! SneakPeek looks for male DNA in the fetal DNA found in mom's circulation. To avoid inaccurate test results, be sure to take the test only when you're 8 weeks pregnant to ensure the level of male chromosomes is high enough to read. Want to order the test in advance of 8 weeks? Sure, you can do that! The test kit is good for a year.

Product description

The DNA Cousin Test is used in situations where the alleged parent(s) are not available for testing. If the alleged parent(s) in question is/are available for testing, we highly recommend the DNA Paternity Test or DNA Maternity Test over the DNA Cousin Test. If the parents of the alleged cousins are available, the DNA Sibling Test would be recommended over the DNA Cousin Test since the sibling test (although not as powerful as a parentage test) is more powerful than a cousin test. The DNA Cousin test should only be considered if absolutely no other test type can be taken as it is the least powerful of all of the available kinship tests.



Every analysis is automatically run twice, utilizing advanced robotics and analyzers in a fully accredited testing laboratory. The full genetic report is included with every test and is available online two business days after the laboratory receives the DNA sample*.



The DNA sample is collected using a discreet, quick and painless mouth swab. This test can be performed on individuals of any age, including newborns. If the individuals to be tested live in different cities, or even different countries, the DNA collection kit can be split and each component sent to a different address. The components are individually barcoded and the buccal samples will be tested together, even if sent back separately.



The DNA kit includes all the supplies required to collect a DNA sample from two alleged cousins. If DNA testing of more than two cousins is required, please contact Genovate directly.



This DNA test is not recognized in a court of law. However, Genovate also offers a Legal DNA Cousin Test and has sample collection facilities in most major cities in the United States and Canada. Contact Genovate directly to arrange a Legal DNA Cousin Test and professional witnessed sample collection.

The DNA Sibling Test is used in situations where the alleged parent(s) are not available for testing. The DNA Sibling Test provides the likelihood that alleged siblings are full siblings, half siblings, or not related at all. Whenever the parent(s) in question are available for testing, either the DNA Paternity or Maternity Test is recommended over the DNA Sibling Test. However, in situations where the alleged parents are missing or deceased, then the DNA Sibling Test is the next best option for investigating the relationship of potential siblings.
