- They can tell you your ancient ancestry.
- They can tell you what diseases you're predisposed to.
- They give you a "Gene Explorer" that allows you to do a search in your genome to find out if you have a certain gene (e.g., you just heard on the news that Gene XYZ has been linked to Alzheimer's Disease)."
