weird this article came out after buying pre-nov2013 kits off ebay so we can see our health information....last night my wife and I just spit into our 23andme kits and we shipped it out this morning. Wish me luck on the truth! :)

Here's hoping you're not related!

What's the difference between the 2013 kits and today's?

Edit: Answered my own question. http://blog.23andme.com/news/23andme-provides-an-update-rega...

That's a great idea. I didn't know older kits were for sale. I'm 10x more interested in the health information than my ancestry!
Also note that if you are not able to get such a kit (or even if you are) you can download the raw text file from 23AndMe and run it through Promethease from SNPedia. It is not nearly as clean and curated as 23AndMe but it's still interesting.
Thanks, yeah, that's pretty cool. I just watched a Youtube video on how to export raw data from 23AndMe and search for things on SNPedia. As long as 23andMe keeps the export option around I won't be spending a lot more for a kit from ebay. :D
https://promethease.com can tell you health information
Are those any different?
