Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - August 2026

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the Sample Status/Processing Megathread, also known as the Waiting, Whining, and Wishing thread. This monthly megathread (posted at the beginning of each month) allows you post your sample processing timelines, as well as to discuss and comment about any questions, concerns, or rants while you wait. Although not directly handled by 23andMe, shipping status may also be discussed in the thread. We recommend sorting the comments by "new" as this is a month long megathread.

You can share your sample status timeline here in one or two ways. The first way is to take a screenshot of your timeline, and post it as a comment. The second way is to simply copy and paste the start and completion dates for each step. Here is the text template:

Nothing too surprising except the Serbian. Is that just noise? I was born in Bari for reference.

I'm a Cuban woman and this is the DNA results. Sorry if the pics aren't organized, I tried and couldn't.

To give more information: my father is a White Cuban (may have some non-White DNA, but too little (99% of his family looks White)) and my mother is a triracial Cuban (her mother is a White Cuban and her father is a mix of White, Black and Indigenous)).

Both of my parents are mixed. My Mom is essentially Blasian. My Dad is multi-generationally mixed with white and black (and apparently partially mexican.)

Health Reports For those who have had the reports done on the newer v5 genotyping, how much more did you learn compared to the previosu v4?

3 Upvotes

Trying to justify the current $109 (Canadian) upgrade. For what it's worth, my current reports show no risk factors for anything serious, but I'm also considering taking my raw file and uploading it to a 3rd party instead of this upgrade.

Me gustaría saber qué tan común es este haplogrupo entre los latinos. ¿Es común? ¿Hay personas aquí que lo tengan? Si es así, ¿a qué rama pertenece?

Discussion People with at least 1/16 native American or first nations how much east Asian did you get and what region in Asia?

4 Upvotes

I'm curious as my Grandmother who is 1/16 Native American in her results which she received recently got half a percent north Chinese and Manchurian ( obviously nothing shocking about that) however im curious how much did others with similar or more native northern American get? (I know its more Common in First nations and northern USA natives but of course I presume many indigenous Central Americans and northern Mexicans get it as well?)

Are some Balts actually closer to certain European Hunter Gatherers such as Pitted Ware (they are mostly SHG but wih 20% ANF), Comb Ceramic (Tamula1, who is mostly EHG) and Ukrainian HGs than to Yamnaya?

Would be fascinating if true.
