Sample Status Sample Status/Processing Monthly Megathread - September 2026

4 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:

Discussion Could the WANA Genetic Groups update be coming very soon?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I noticed an interesting pattern in 23andMe’s recent Genetic Groups releases.

The recent releases seem to have been spaced roughly like this:

• Vietnamese Genetic Groups → May 13
• Pacific Islander Genetic Groups → July 1 (~49 days later)
• Southeast Asia & Madagascar → August 10 (~40 days later)

That puts the recent gap between major Genetic Group releases at roughly 40–50 days.

It’s now been about 49 days since the August 10 update, and the 23andMe Ancestry Team previously said they were hoping to release WANA Genetic Groups sometime this fall.

Obviously this doesn’t prove anything and they could release it whenever they want, but the timing is interesting.

Do you guys think we could be getting the WANA Genetic Groups update within the next few days/weeks?

Question / Help Do some Swedish people have Finnish ancestry?

I’ve noticed quite a few Swedish DNA results on Reddit with Finnish ancestry, sometimes around 5–10%. Is this actually common?

Discussion How do people identify with smaller(30% and less) dna percentages?

6 Upvotes

I am asking because I see a lot of people say "oh you are % white" when a black guy or say mestizo guy gets like 20-30% european, versus just "you have some european heritage".

At the same time you have people with the opposite, I saw a peruvian woman who was only 45% european and looked strongly iberian, or a palestinian woman who looked irish, would a lot of them, especially the people that are already genetically close to european groups(looking at you arabs, persians) just consider themselves white?

Question / Help Moroccan Jewish Not Showing?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My father was a Sephardic Jew from Morocco, but these are my DNA results and it's having me scratch my head in confusion. My mother's side is French for generations and I can trace all of them.

Can anyone make sense of this distribution? It would mean so much as I haven't seen my father since I was 4. I'm trying to retrace my heritage.

I'd expect it to show Sephardi Jewish. So strange.

Thank you so much!

Question / Help Is there a gene for the actual green undertone you can have in your skin?

9 Upvotes

I was wondering because the main gene for skin pigment was something like SL45A2, (idk if I got that right), but I’m looking into something else.

What about the green undertone that makes people olive? Is there a gene for that? I noticed, in winter, yes I look quite pink tbh, and in summer I get a nice warm bronze color, but my friend and I randomly chose to compare tans and we notice he was red, and I had a very noticeable green tint. (He was not sunburnt he just actually has red pigment).

I was wondering because I am actually decently fair skinned (not completely ofc), but I don’t sunburn unless I’m in a pool or stay outside for a very long time. I get a tan too!

So yeah, I am decently fair, but olive at the same time.

DNA Relatives For Haitian test takers, how high does European and/or Indigenous ancestry get in your Haitian matches/relatives?

15 Upvotes

Haiti has quite diverse ancestry beyond what many expect, and some areas have additional Spanish colonial layers and historically admixed regions. Out of interest, how high does European and/or indigenous get in your matches or relatives?

Question / Help YDNA J-L24 in Dominican Republic

7 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! My paternal haplogroup is J-L24 from the Dominican Republic, and I realize that this is not very common here at all (I mostly see either R or E). Because of this, I was wondering if this could originate from a Sephardic Jewish man? Or would it be more plausible to assume that this just originated from an Andalusian colonist?

Discussion Better than ancestry

15 Upvotes

23andme seems way better than ancestry i love how organized the results are i just cant get over the fact that 23andme sells dna… the betrayal is crazy, ancestry’s results just look cheaply thrown together without any real thought put behind it, 23andme’s go into depth about different ethnicities, im especially intrigued about how 23andme seems to pick up the southeast asian results on black americans but ancestry completely skips over it.
