I have been reading and learning about DNA Testing for some time. I now know a few things (a bit more than before, much less than I would like).
I would like to do a DNA test. But still I do not know what to do. There seems to be two different things:
- One is the DNA Testing company: the origin I want to test is a combination of Catalan and Slavic. So, I would say two possibilities are 23andme and Living DNA. This forum suggests Living DNA is a bit better, but then other comparisons/comments suggest Living DNA is only good for UK people. It is not clear to me which is the knowledge level of each comment, or potential commercial interests. Intriguingly, there is also Dante Labs offering a full genome analysis (not only autosomal). I am interested about "origins", as well as health, if possible
- A second are calculators, using "raw data": eurogenes, gedmatch ... I really cannot find a way to learn which is the "best", and even what I would get from them (in comparison to what a DNA Testing company offers already)
Are there any scientifically oriented suggestions here?
