Several of you have asked questions about the DNA test. I am providing some answers to your questions below. The DNA testing is as easy as brushing your teeth -- no blood, no doctors, no visits to collection specialists. Your genetic test kit consists of a cheek scraper and a collection tube. You will be able to read the instructions and perform a painless cheek scraping in about five minutes. The effect of using the scraper is about the same as brushing your cheek with a soft bristle toothbrush. You don't go anywhere. They mail the kit to you and you mail it back to them. The kit is a padded envelop that contains two swabs that look like a tooth brush. You brush the inside of your cheek with one, then do the same with the other at least eight hours later. The swabs have nice handles that allow you to push the soft ends off into small vials of soapy water. The vials have caps that keep the swab tips wet and sealed while they travel to Houston in the envelope. You will spend far more money and time doing a single piece of research that results in far less discovery than you will get from this DNA test. Worried about what else the DNA test lab might find? The answer is not a thing. They won't know if you show positive for a disease, condition or anything else. The test looks only at the Y Chromosome and then only at 12 or 25 specific Loci on the Y Chromosome.
