Rules

1

Be Civil

Racist, sexist, and/or hateful comments/posts are absolutely not tolerated here. Treat fellow Redditors with respect. No targeted harassment of any kind. Any violation of this rule will end with a warning or ban, depending on the severity of the violation. Punishment is ultimately down to moderator discretion.

2

No "Guess My Ethnicity/Ancestry" posts or other off topic phenotypic posts

No "Guess My Ethnicity/Nationality" posts outside of the weekly "Guess My Ancestry Megathread"

This rule also prohibits posts containing questions pertaining towards one's phenotypic appearance or location of origin. Examples: "Does my look match my results?", “Do I look the part?”, "My ethnicity is X, do I look like it?" or "Where do I look like I'm from", etc..

3

No Sample Status/Timeline Posts outside the pinned, monthly Megathread

No Sample Status/Timeline Posts outside the monthly megathread . Although not directly handled by 23andMe, shipping status posts are also prohibited under this rule and may be discussed in the megathread.

This rule does not prohibit posts about technical questions regarding kit setup, sample collection, or direct international movement of samples.

4

First level images in posts can’t solely be personal selfies/pictures

When posting your results with multiple images via galleries (or via Imgur Albums), the first level image cannot solely be a personal picture. The first images in the sequence must be screenshots of your results, followed by a selfie or other personal photo(s) if you decide to post any. Collages combining both personal pictures and results into a single image are fine to post first

5

No advertisement of products or services

Advertising products or services in posts or comments on this subreddit is not allowed. If you want to run an advertisement for a product or service, you need to use reddit ads to do so. This rule does not prohibit user discussion, questions, comments, mentions, etc.

6

Names & pictures of DNA Relatives must be blurred for privacy

When sharing screenshots or anything of the sort with regards to your DNA relatives, their names & pictures must be blurred or blacked-out.

7

No Fake Results

It is absolutely unacceptable to forge any results for the intent of misleading others. Works of concept art or any other fundamentally altered visual representation regarding design or feedback of results are allowed, but MUST BE PROPERLY MARKED AND INDICATED AS SUCH IN BOTH THE POST TITLE AND IMAGE.

Failure to abide by this rule will result in a permanent ban.

8

No posts regarding 23andMe's stock (ME)*

Health Reports

The health reports you will receive (or have received) from 23andMe differ depending on what chip version you were tested on, when you were tested, and what country you were tested in.
For individuals newly purchasing the 23andMe "Health + Ancestry" test in any country, you will now receive the new (FDA approved, abbreviated/new-form) health results. It is no longer possible to obtain the old (long-form) health reports with a new kit regardless of what country you live in.
For individuals who have purchased the US-specific/international "Ancestry" test on or after September 21, 2016, you must pay a $125 upgrade fee to have access to the new (FDA approved) health reports.
In all other cases, please see https://www.reddit.com/r/23andme/wiki/reports for more information.

Chip Versions

NOTE: The raw data and chip version is always the same for every country. The cheaper ancestry-only test returns the exact same raw data as the health+ancestry test - the only difference is that 23andMe's reports on health aren't included.

Chip	Since	Illumina Bead Chip	SNPs
v1	Nov 2007	HumanHap550+	576,000
v2	Sept 2008	HumanHap550+	597,000
v3	Nov 2010	HumanOmniExpress+	992,000
v4	Nov 2013	HTS iSelect HD	611,000
v5	Aug 2017	Global Screening Array (GSA)	~650,000

Note that the number of SNPs listed above is a relatively crude estimate based on a limited number of data file samples for each different chip version. Please read this post for more detailed information/analysis on 23andMe's v3/v4 chips, as well as competitors FTDNA and AncestryDNA.

AncestryDNA and 23andMe have both updated their chips since that post was written, AncestryDNA's new v2 chip has massively improved coverage of health-related SNPs (better than 23andMe v4 for the most part, although they of course do not provide health reports), and 23andMe's new v5 chip covers an entirely different set of SNPs than any of the previous versions do.

Data Analysis

If you're interested in getting even more ancestry-related info out of your data,

GEDMatch is probably the most popular 3rd party ancestral calculator. It specifies in more ancient populations and admixture, with a wide variety of calculators to choose from.
DNALand is another handy 3rd party tool which specifies in more regional and ancient admixture, with a relatively simpler approach for some users, compared to GEDMatch.

If you're interested in getting more health-related info out of your data,

Promethease is a tool that may be of interest. Promethease is by far the best third-party data analysis tool, but there are many others out there to choose from.
codegen.eu is a decent free alternative to Promethease that gives you much of the same information.

There are many other options out there for data analysis, both paid and free.
