Re: Ancestry.Com and the Low Confidence Regions category...

Thanks for the responses.  Guess I'm disappointed.  I still don't know about 35% of my DNA then.  That seems like a lot to me, 35%.  But not important in the grand scheme of things right?Smiley Happy

It goes to the NSA. You need to read the TOS with this stuff.

That's nothing!  The NIH is using actual human DNA to humanize mice!  Google NIH humanized mice.  So, if you donated any human tissue for research .. it may end up there!

No one can use your DNA for anything without your written consent... signature on a dotted line. That's the law.

 

ETA - authorities can use your DNA without consent if you are a criminal.

You won’t know your complete DNA unless you have your father or a brother to test.  You don’t carry the male gene.  Do you have a living father or brother?
