Hi Jeanette,
Being an admin for the Cooley DNA project, I decided I should better know
about the various services out there. And, likely, there are other Cooleys
who have tested with 23andme that I know nothing about because of not
having access to the database. I've also never had the autosomol
chromosomes tested. Basically, I had a lot of questions about the services
they provide then realized I should just do it, particularly since it's
relatively cheap.
