Thanks for donating your DNA for research 😆

That company is owned by Larry Page's ex-wife. I heard shady stuff about 23 and me, how they're using the data to build a private database for medicinal research and how they don't share it with any other researchers. I'm no expert, but in this age, man, everything is sketchy.

You own your data and can upload it to any public database, gedmatch is a good one that runs matches on many public databases.

For Indians the tagging they have is south Asian, max it might go down to "Indian”. They will not go down to 50% Marathi and 25% Bengali ever.

D2, that's exactly my point, the reason they cannot break it down any further is because they don't have a large enough reference database. Mapping dna sequences to population groups is in inexact science currently for desis, the white European database is the biggest, with the Chinese catching on very quickly. It is the desis waiting as usual for some firangi to tell us we are 20% gujju, 40% Konka Brahmin and other manufactured groups for division like they did with caste system in the 1800's

Now the government has your dna data

Wasn't it the Indian continent or sub-continent? Taking money from me and calling me South Asian ? It is derogatory and if I were you I would ask my money back just for that reason.

OP - what were you hoping to find out? DNA is more important data than fingerprints data t and I would not give anyone that. It is just a matter of time before it gets highly commercialized targeting ads based on your exact matches.

Gym etiquette question - I was in the weight room of my gym and a girl was on a machine for at least 15 min, most if which time she was just sitting on her phone. I did the rest of my workout and politely asked if she was still using it because I could see that she was just sitting. She said no so I said no worries, I’ll wait until she was done. Stood a few feet away and was scrolling on my phone. She started yelling at me that I was hovering and needed me leave. Was I somehow in the wrong?
