There are several reasons why you may want to consider using MY DNA test to help predict your health. First, MY DNA test can provide valuable insights into your genetic makeup, which can help you better understand your risk for certain diseases and conditions. This information can help you make more informed decisions about your health, such as which lifestyle changes to make or which medical screenings to undergo. Additionally, MY DNA test can help identify specific genetic variations that may impact your response to certain medications, allowing your healthcare provider to tailor your treatment plan to your unique needs. Overall, MY DNA test can be a useful tool for helping you predict and prevent potential health problems.
MY DNA
What information will I receive that I won’t get with other DNA tests?
Whole genome sequencing is a technique that involves sequencing an individual’s entire genome, including all of their DNA. Genotyping, on the other hand, only looks at a few specific genetic markers. Most popular genetics tests on the market use genotyping. Whole genome sequencing offers a more comprehensive view of an individual’s DNA, including structural variations and information about gene function and regulation. It is also more accurate than genotyping.
I received the MY DNA test I ordered. How do I collect my sample and send it back for processing?

What is the processing timeframe for the MY DNA test?
Once your completed sample has been received, your sample will be processed and your report will be generated within 4 weeks. (CHECK THIS INFO) To check on the status of your MY DNA test, log in and visit the My Reports section of your Dashboard. Here you will be able to see when your sample has been received, when your sample is being processed, and a link to view your report will be provided here once your report is available.
What is a PubMed ID?
A PubMed ID, also known as a PubMed identifier or PMID, is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each article in the PubMed database. PubMed is a free online database of medical literature maintained by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States. It contains more than 30 million citations for scientific articles, books, and other published works in the biomedical and life sciences. The PMID is a way to easily and quickly identify a specific article in the PubMed database, allowing researchers and other users to quickly access and cite the article.
What is an RSID?
An RSID, or reference SNP identifier, is a unique identifier assigned to each single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the human genome. SNPs are variations in the DNA sequence that occur when a single nucleotide (A, C, G, or T) in the genome is changed. These variations can affect an individual’s risk of developing certain diseases, response to medication, and other traits. The RSID is a way to identify and track specific SNPs in the genome, allowing researchers to study the relationship between SNPs and various health conditions. RSIDs are assigned and maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), which is part of the NIH in the United States.
What is a SNP?
A SNP, or single nucleotide polymorphism, is a type of genetic variation that occurs when a single nucleotide in a person’s DNA sequence is different from what is typically found in most people. These variations can occur in any part of the genome and are often used as genetic markers for a variety of purposes, such as identifying individuals and assessing their risk of developing certain diseases.
What is a Reference Allele?
The reference allele refers to the DNA base sequence at the listed RSID that is found in the reference genome. Since the reference genome is just somebody’s genome, the reference allele is not always the most common or the most beneficial allele.
What is a Variant Allele?
The variant allele (sometimes called an alternative allele) is any base sequence that does not match the reference allele. In this report we have identified a particular variant allele that is associated with a particular condition at the listed RSID.
What is a Genotype?
A genotype in this report is the combination of your genetic information passed down by your parents at a specific location in your genome. You will have some combination of the reference and/or the variant alleles. In some rare cases, you may have a variant allele that is not listed. These rare variants are unstudied, so we cannot provide a risk assessment for this genotype and will default to normal risk.
What does Risk mean?
The relative risk profile represents the likelihood of you presenting clinical symptoms of that condition compared to the average person. Genetic risk is not the same as disease risk, as many other factors, such as lifestyle and environmental factors, can also affect a person’s likelihood of developing a disease.
BLU POO
What can I learn from using BLU POO?
BLU POO is a fun and easy way to track your gut transit time! By tracking the time it takes to produce a BLU POO, you can learn a lot about how your body processes food and how your microbiome affects your health. Plus, you can use the Bristol Stool Chart to make important gut health assessments. It’s a silly but simple way to take charge of your gut health!
How often can I use BLU POO?
You can use BLU POO as frequently or infrequently as you’d like. Because changes to your diet and lifestyle can have an impact on your gut transit time, we suggest using BLU POO before making diet or lifestyle changes, then as frequently as you wish after making diet and lifestyle changes to track how these changes are impacting your gut transit time.
Are there any limitations to who can use BLU POO?
Blue spirulina is generally considered safe for most people to consume. It is made from a type of blue-green algae called Arthrospira platensis, which is a natural source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, some people may be allergic to blue spirulina or other types of algae, and it is always a good idea to check with a healthcare provider before trying a new food or supplement.
Additionally, blue spirulina can cause some people to experience gastrointestinal side effects, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea. It is also possible for blue spirulina to interact with certain medications, so it is important to talk to a healthcare provider if you are taking any medications before consuming blue spirulina.
Can I use the BLU POO Tracker on different devices?
Yes! The timer is connected to your account, which means you can log in to your account on one device to start the timer, and log in on a different device to stop the timer. There is also no need to leave the window open while the timer is running.
