Frequently asked questions

What is the "Best DNA Tests 2026" survey?

It's a community survey run by Genomelink that collects first-hand experiences from people who have taken consumer DNA tests — satisfaction, recommendations, privacy attitudes, and data-ownership preferences. The aggregated, anonymized results are published as a free, citable ranking of the best DNA tests of 2026.

Who runs the survey, and is it independent?

Genomelink, Inc. runs the survey. Genomelink is also one of the services the survey covers, so we disclose this openly: we publish all findings — including those about competitors and about Genomelink itself — without alteration.

How long does it take, and are my responses anonymous?

About two minutes. Responses are anonymous unless you choose to share your email. Only aggregated, anonymized data is published; individual responses are never shown.

Which DNA testing services does the survey cover?

Major consumer DNA tests including AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage DNA, FamilyTreeDNA, LivingDNA, Nebula Genomics, and Sequencing.com — plus raw-DNA upload sites such as Genomelink, GEDMatch, MyTrueAncestry, and Promethease.

How is the sample selected?

Respondents are self-selected and largely reached through Genomelink's audience, so results reflect engaged DNA-test users rather than the general population. Full methodology is published alongside the results.

When will the results be published?

Results are published on this page and at genomelink.io/research/best-dna-tests once a representative sample is collected.
