Best Genetic Tests of 2025

"This DNA kit has been an excellent way for me to explore my children's heritage. As an adoptive parent, I found it gave them a real sense of confidence and pride. The collection was straightforward, and the results arrived quickly. I can't recommend it enough!"

"Initially, I was a bit skeptical about the 23andMe Ancestry Service. My family often spoke of our Native Indian roots, so I was shocked to find out I'm primarily British and Irish! The detailed ancestry composition revealed so much about migration and history. Plus, the mystery of my DNA made it a fun puzzle. Connecting with potential relatives through the DNA Relative Finder added another layer to my understanding of my past. It's been a fascinating experience that has sparked great conversations!"

"After trying this kit, I was amazed at the knowledge I gained about my genetics. It's incredibly user-friendly and informative—one of the best purchases I've ever made. My journey has been remarkable, and I've already recommended it to friends and family who have also had great experiences. This product is definitely worth a try!"

"I was very happy with the price and 3-month membership. It was very easy to gather info and history."

"I got the test kit quickly. I was surprised by how easy it was to use and return for testing."

"I bought this kit as a Valentine's gift for my husband. I was a bit confused about the subscription start time, as it begins once you activate the kit, which means you don’t get to enjoy it for a while while waiting for results. Still, I’m eager to see how accurate the matches are, and I’m planning to order kits for our kids, too!"

"I ordered two kits for me and my partner during a sale. Both arrived together and were well packaged with no leaks. I registered my kit without any issues and received results in under three weeks. Surprisingly fast! I believe the ancestry is more accurate than other services, though the health reports require a $70 premium for full access."

"Using this DNA kit was a breeze! The step-by-step directions made it stress-free. I loved the companion app—it provided detailed insights and helped me track my results easily. My results matched what my dad shared about our family history, which was incredibly validating. I was so impressed that I bought a kit for my father-in-law, and he was thrilled to learn about his heritage."

"I purchased this product from an Australian store, but after a month of waiting, 23andMe informed me that my kit was invalid for US use only. It was really frustrating to deal with this situation, and I faced difficulties with the returns process."

"This is my second time using Ancestry. I loved my first kit, as it provided amazing insights into my background and bloodline. The process was so easy and hassle-free, and I appreciated the updates throughout. After seeing my daughter's results from another company, I knew I had to return to Ancestry for the extra details they offer, like traits and personality."

"I had no surprises with my results, which might seem boring, but it was thrilling to confirm my extensive research. I took advantage of a great sale and found the kit to be compatible with my existing Ancestry account. It helped me add cousins to my family tree, and the results were truly enlightening."

"I bought this kit for my adult son, who is interested in our family history. It’s very user-friendly, and I love that our data is all in one place on Ancestry, which makes it easier to compare with each other. The results are insightful, revealing things we could never have known otherwise. I highly recommend it!"

"I found the ethnicity estimate to be quite similar to other DNA testing companies. For those who are just curious or beginners, this is an easy and straightforward result. However, if you're looking for medical insights, AncestryDNA won't help much on its own. The relationship calculations are pretty accurate, and the database is extensive, leading to more connections than other tests I’ve done. Overall, I’m pleased with my $70 investment into understanding my heritage.

"I purchased the AncestryDNA kit for my wife on sale, and it was a fantastic decision. The process was straightforward, and we were kept informed about the waiting times. The results were conveniently delivered via an app, making it easy to explore the fascinating insights about our origins and ethnicities. This has sparked invaluable conversations in our family, and I would absolutely buy another kit at this price—it’s a meaningful gift with great value."

"I got this kit during a Black Friday deal, submitted my sample, and received my results in less than four weeks. The results aligned perfectly with what I know about my family, particularly regarding geographic heritage and possible relatives. This was a stark contrast to another DNA service I tried, which provided results that were completely off. The pricing was also much more reasonable compared to that service."

"I knew nothing about my background, and this test has provided me with so many answers. As someone who is mixed and always suspected it, I would highly recommend this. I was born in El Salvador, but to my surprise, I am not even half Latina; I am 70% mix European and 30% American indigenous. I always thought my appearance hinted at Asian ancestry, so this was quite the revelation!"

"I had questions regarding my biological father and my genetic makeup. This test answered many of those questions. The instructions were easy to follow, and I sent out the sample the very next day. I particularly appreciated the tracking website, which eased my mind during the waiting period. The results took about six weeks and included valuable information about inherited conditions, which is important for knowing my family's medical history. Definitely worth the money and time!"

"While I didn’t know what to expect, I still felt a bit let down. Honestly, anyone could have guessed my stats. I would say, save your money and just take a look in the mirror, especially if you’re past 40 years old."

"I purchased this test for my IVF journey for my own sanity check. The kit was well packed with instructions, a sample container, and a FedEx bag with a paid shipping label. The step-by-step instructions guided me from collecting samples to dropping off and reviewing my results."

"This was perfect for testing my 3-year-old for MTHFR before an anesthesia procedure. I was relieved to find it was saliva-based instead of a blood draw. The process was straightforward: washing hands, swabbing his cheek, and sealing it in a tube. Just remember to register and mail it on the same day. Our results arrived within the week, which was great timing. I'd definitely use these tests again."

"The test results came back unreadable. I tried several times to contact customer service, but I couldn't reach anyone. I left messages and voicemails. This company seems quite unprofessional, which is disappointing considering the money spent on the product!"

"I found the test to be easy, and my consultation with Daniela was really informative. They suggested various brands, making me feel like they genuinely care about my wellbeing rather than just my wallet. I'm excited to implement the supplements and see the results!"

"After years of seeking answers from doctors, Charlotte Bernardo provided me with insights in just a 20-minute consultation. Everything she mentioned resonated with my health issues, and for the first time in years, I feel like I have a clear plan to address them. Thank you, LifeDNA and Charlotte!"

"While I was thrilled to receive my test results, I was disappointed when I found out I had to pay more for the detailed insights I was looking forward to. I expected a consultation, but I ended up sitting alone for 30 minutes, which felt very unprofessional."

“I received so much information from the sequencing results. Although it takes time to review everything, I appreciate the comprehensive insights. The report on medication reactions was particularly helpful for my doctor. I must say, their customer service is phenomenal.”

“After purchasing two kits, I love that this company offers more than just ancestry. It allowed me to test for hypothyroidism and rare genetic traits related to thalassemia. Many doctors fail to realize there are multiple variations beyond just minor and major. This is a great kit, and I give it five stars.”

“I ordered my sequencing kit through their website before discovering it’s available on Amazon. The kit was easy to use, and I received my results within 5 weeks. I can access my results through various apps and download detailed reports. The results exceeded my expectations, analyzing thousands of diseases, and I appreciate that my results are updated monthly.”

"I received this gift for Christmas, and although I was hesitant at first, I eventually decided to proceed with the kit. I was curious about my genetic makeup and potential diseases. The waiting period was tough, but the results were 100% accurate and fascinating. I'm completely satisfied with Tellmegen and eager to test my husband!"

"My mother-in-law got the child kit for my son, and I was amazed at the results! Although it took about 7 weeks for us to get them due to high demand, I was impressed with the customer service. The results are invaluable for his health, and I plan to recommend this test to friends and family!"

"I did extensive research before choosing this kit as a gift, and it turned out to be one of the coolest gifts ever. The information is comprehensive and secure. I’m hoping for more nutrition-related data soon, but overall, I highly recommend this kit for anyone looking to gain insights into their health."
