Once we receive your DNA sample, we send your sample directly to the lab for processing. You will also receive a notice of receipt via the email address associated with your account.
Processing times vary depending on the test(s) ordered.
Processing times are an estimate only and are subject to lab volume and quality control.
Typical result processing times are as follows:
- Family Finder™ – 2 to 4 weeks
- mtFull Sequence – 6 to 8 weeks
- Y-DNA (excluding Big Y) – 3 to 6 weeks
- Big Y-700 – 13 to 14 weeks
- BAM File – Up to 72 hours.
- Autosomal Transfer Unlock – Up to 72 hours.
There is currently a delay in Big Y-700 processing times due to high test volume. All other tests are within typical processing times as of February 5, 2025
This time estimate is based on the batch date listed in your Order History. If your test is delayed past the average test result processing time based on this, please contact our Customer Service Center for specific causes for delays.
