5 Things You Should Know Before Taking A DNA Test

  1. Learn About How DNA Works. DNA is your genetic makeup; it contains all of the information about how you are and how you work. But it’s not as simple as looking under a microscope and seeing that you carry certain traits and don’t carry others. DNA converts amino acids into protein and proteins do all sorts of things. Learn more about the process before you get your DNA tested.
  2. There Are Numerous DNA Test Types. Typically, there are three different test types. They are called: Y-DNA, mtDNA, and Autosomal. The most common DNA tests are autosomal because they can be administered to both men and women. Y-DNA tests can only be administered to men, while mtDNA tests let you look at your ancestry through your mother. Make sure you’re aware of what test you are taking.
  3. There Can Be a Dark Side to DNA Testing. Remember the infamous Golden State Killer. He was just captured because a relative of his took a DNA test and they were able to trace that DNA back to him. Hopefully, you’re not doing anything illegal, but just be careful because your DNA can fall into the wrong hands.
  4. Which DNA Testing Service Is For Me? Make sure to do all of your research on the various types of DNA tests. There are a ton out there and you want to make sure you are doing the right one for you.
  5. What Happens During a DNA Test? Most DNA tests are not invasive, but it’s important to be aware of what exactly happens during a DNA test. Will I find something out that lies in my DNA that I don’t want to find out? Where is my information being stored? Is it being shared with other people/companies? Make sure to find out exactly what happens during DNA testing so there won’t be any surprises later down the line.
