<human>: Is it safe to get my DNA tested?
<bot>: It depends on who is doing the testing and what they are looking for. If you’re just curious about your ancestry, then most companies offer at-home tests that can be completed in a few hours. These typically only look at markers on the Y chromosome (passed down from father to son) or mitochondrial DNA (passed down from mother to daughter). These tests will not tell you anything about your health or medical history, but they may help you learn more about your family tree.
