23andMe review and special

Paul Stamatiou has a very thorough review of his experience with DNA testing company 23andMe at http://paulstamatiou.com/review-23andme-dna-testing-for-health-disease-ancestry which rings true with my experience. The ancestral part of the test will be the focus of much of my presentation at Gene-O-Rama on Saturday March 27th. See http://ogsottawa.on.ca/?page_id=101

Until 31 March 2010 23andMe are offering a half-price special, $199 plus shipping, on their DNA Ancestry test at www.23andme.com/partner/foa/. They state it was used to test the DNA of "well known Americans": Elizabeth Alexander, Mario Batali, Stephen Colbert, Malcolm Gladwell, Eva Longoria, Yo-Yo Ma, Mike Nichols, Her Majesty Queen Noor, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Meryl Streep, Kristi Yamaguchi.
