DNA: What to Expect When You're Testing
by Janeen Bjork
 
The AncestryDNA, the 23andMe and MyHeritage marketing campaigns
have been great successes and have led millions of people to order test kits.
Maybe you've already taken a test and need help understanding your results.
Or you have been thinking about it but wanted to know more before
you made the commitment. You are encouraged to bring your questions
and your relatives who are reluctant to test.
