When readers and friends found out I was going to work with Spencer Wells, many asked about ancestry analysis. By and large I said “wait.”
Wait no longer. This is now a 3 day pre-sale promotion for our Regional Ancestry product. Basically, you can get it for $19.99. I wrote a blog post on the product, Ancestry as a window onto your past.
The customers who have already purchased Neanderthal and Metabolism will probably get their results first, because remember that Helix apps reuse the original data sequenced and typed. Those who have already gotten previous results on any Helix app will be able to get results almost immediately when the app is live (the constraint here is compute time).
Currently, we are projecting the appl to be live starting January 8th, 2018 (being conservative).
Also, at $19.99 this is a great way to get into the Helix ecosystem.
(note the current ancestry product is autosomal analysis. no Y and mtDNA)
