My husband and I had our DNA tested by all the major vendors in years past. And yet I couldn't help myself when MyHeritage announced a gigantic sale on its newest DNA test, because of the company's incredible upgrade to whole genome sequencing.
I'm not a scientist, but reading the MyHeritage announcement and seeing what respected genealogy experts have to say, it seems worthwhile to do new tests with the company's latest technology.
Less than two weeks ago, hubby and I swabbed our cheeks and sent the samples back to MyHeritage's Texas facility, where they have now been received and logged in.
NOTE: Return postage is not included in the kit price, and the bubble mailer had to be sent as a package rather than a letter. So the cost to mail the DNA sample back is more than a stamp or two.
Still, I see this as an investment in improved technology for improved accuracy and at the low sale price, I'm excited about this update and willing to pay the extra few dollars for return postage.
Do check all the big DNA sites frequently for discounts because pricing can change from one day to the next!
