The kit is pretty straightforward to use. Just collect a saliva sample with the included at-home collection kit and mail it off to the lab. In about 4-5 weeks from sample submission, you’ll receive a personalized genetic report with information about your family’s origin, your genetic traits. 23andMe analyzes your DNA across over 3,0000 geographic regions and provides information on your estimated ancestry composition.
