SAVE $100: Get a 23andMe Health and Ancestry DNA kit for only $99 for Black Friday.
Whether you’re biracial or multiracial with some muddled family history or you just really want to know more about your genetic ancestry, a 23andMe DNA testing kit will guide you through where in the world your DNA comes from. They also make fantastic gifts for the curious culture lovers in your life. For Black Friday, these kits that normally retail for $199 are 50% off, going for only $99.
The 23andMe kit gives you a comprehensive look at your ancestry, with percentages up to 0.1% and over 2,000 different geographic regions and countries. You’ll also get population-specific data that will help you zero in on your personal ancestry, and culture/history tips on countries related to your background.
The autosomal testing helps you find your family members and distant relatives, creates an automatic family tree based on DNA, and allows you to connect with relatives and compare traits. This feature is optional, though, so if you don’t want to be found by relatives, you can opt-out.
You can also trace your ancestry back thousands of years, with the ancestry timeline, ancestor migration patterns, famous past relatives, and what percentage of your DNA is related to Neanderthals.
There are also health data that this kit scans, like genetic predispositions to diseases, carrier status, and more.
Looking for other ancestry kits besides 23andMe? The AncestryDNA Genetic Ethnicity Test is also on sale for $47 (save $52) and the MyHeritage DNA Test Kit is discounted to $39 (save $36).
