The Common Room / Re: Whole genome sequencing for £29 on My Heritage
« on: Friday 14 November 25 10:18 GMT (UK)  »
I’m sure that the price will go up in the New Year, susieroe!

I’ve had an email from My Heritage to say that my kit has been shipped, although I’m sure that the results won’t be in as quickly 😊

There’s a program on Channel 4 about Hitler’s DNA on Saturday evening:

For the first time ever, experts identify Hitler's DNA. What do his genes reveal about Hitler's heritage and origins, his neurology and drives?

I was just reading about the whole genome sequencing that was carried out on Hitler’s DNA. Interesting…

It definitely seems to be the coming thing in DNA testing!

I’ve also been looking at current costs in the UK:
This is quoted from Dr Google 😊

The cost of a whole genome sequencing (WGS) test in the UK ranges from approximately £2,000 to over £7,000, depending on the complexity and specific services included. For example, a WGS test for a rare disease case (including three samples) costs around £7,050, while a standard single-sample WGS might be cheaper, around £2,350 per genome. It's important to note that these are estimates, and the price can vary based on the provider and included services like pre- and post-test consultations.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: MyHeritage Upgrades Its DNA Tests to Whole Genome Sequencing

Well Ive ordered it!

I’m not expecting to see anything until after Christmas, but I’m intrigued…

I’ll keep you updated as to whether it’s worth it or not 🤔

The email that I received today from My Heritage says,

‘MyHeritage DNA with Whole Genome Sequencing for only £29, plus 30-day free trial’

I have already uploaded an Ancestry DNA test to My Heritage, but I’m tempted by this offer. I can’t believe that they can do whole genome sequencing for £29!!

I’ve been sent an offer from My Heritage for a DNA test with whole genome testing for £29!

Has anyone on here already had one?

I find it hard to believe that they can offer it for that price?

Thanks 4b2, that’s interesting.

It seems that it will just apply to new tests.

Thanks both.

Yes, just found the Blog and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen across the board…

I was under the impression that whole genome sequencing was incredibly expensive, but perhaps not anymore?

Does anyone on here know, - does this just apply to new DNA tests on My Heritage, or are all kits on there going to be upgraded?

The Common Room / Re: Unreducting a record on the 1939 Register

No, it seems completely random to me…

I’ve got some relatives, (now dead) whose records on there have never been redacted. Others, dead for longer(!) have always been closed.

Likewise, some women’s surnames that changed on marriage, have been entered in green ink, whereas others remain unchanged.
