hi everybody my name is Cesar and in this video I'm gonna show you how to
activate and how to gather DNA for the ancestry DNA test kit let's get right
into it here's everything that's going to come
in the ancestry DNA test kit first thing you're gonna have are the instructions
you're gonna have your collection bag
you're gonna have the collection - along with the blue solution and lastly you're
gonna have a small box so you can mail out your DNA test kit do not I repeat do
not eat won't shoot up and will tell you drink it's not my first chew gum or
smoke break 30 minutes before giving your saliva sample a good tip is to
brush your teeth 30 minutes before you give your saliva sample that way if
there's anything in your teeth like if you ate a burger and french fries and
there might be like a little piece of french fry stuck in your teeth and you
might mess up the results because it'll come back saying that you're part French
because of the french fry get it French but there's a joke you can laugh okay
sorry no more cheesy jokes let's get right back into it first step is we're
gonna have to activate our kit online you could do this by a computer or a
phone in my case we're gonna use the computer we're gonna have to activate
the kit at ancestry.com it's fast and simple we're gonna create a free account
with your name email and password go to activate a kit in the upper right hand
corner
the 15 digit activation code which is located on the back side of the
instructions or on the actual collection tube fill
out info like your name last name Berthier and gender you have to consent
to ancestry DNA processing terms next page you could give consent or decline
to participate in a research study
ancestry asks if you would like to be linked to family members and lastly hit
the activate kit button add phone number if you wish to receive status and
updates on your DNA test kit we're going to open up the collection to okay so
here goes the fun part we're gonna have to fill the tube with saliva up to the
black wavy line and that does not include the saliva bubbles so here we go
this is a nastiest part of the test but something we got to do
almost there
it's important it says not to overfill so you're just supposed to go to that
wavy line
six and a half hours later okay so here we go I'm gonna show you it's kind of
nasty but this is what you got to do it's a little bit above the wavy line
you could see the bubbles you can see the blue solution here okay I'm taking
off the funnel you can see the threads where you're gonna be screwing a
solution in and the solution is just supposed to plop right in there and it's
supposed to stabilize the DNA okay you can see it right now it says to shake it
for five seconds one one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one
thousand five one thousand now we're gonna place the tube in the collection
bag and seal it off
like so so now we're going to take our sample and we're going to place it in
the box like so we have some adhesive tape here and we're just going to seal
the box just like so so it says no postage necessary if melt inside the
United States so we don't have to put any stamps or we don't have to pay for
it we're just gonna put it in a mail box and it's gonna be good to go if you
