Getting to know more about your roots has become super easy over the last few years, with tons of DNA testing kits now available. If you've been wanting to learn more about your ancestry and genetic background, it's a great time to try a DNA test. Right now, ahead of the Amazon Prime Day sale, our top choice, 23andMe, is offering its ancestry DNA test kit for just $69 at Amazon. That's a whopping 42% off the regular list price. DNA tests are a fun activity to do by yourself or with family members, so snag a test or two now while you can.

The 23andMe ancestry service is the company's most basic offering, but still comes with a wide range of reports to check out. It can help you track down the roots of your DNA and where in the world your family originated. It's a fun little project to engage in, especially for those whose families don't have much written history.
The kit is pretty straightforward to use. Just collect a saliva sample with the included at-home collection kit and mail it off to the lab. In about 4-5 weeks from sample submission, you'll receive a personalized genetic report with information about your family's origin, your genetic traits. 23andMe analyzes your DNA across over 3,0000 geographic regions and provides information on your estimated ancestry composition. The trait reports can also provide insight into how your genetic makeup impacts things like your taste preferences, likelihood of physical traits like freckles and more.
