Today, April 25, is National DNA Day. As another "holiday" that you may not have heard about until now, you're probably wondering what it means and how to celebrate it.
National DNA celebrates the completion of the Human Genome Project, a 13-year, publicly funded research project on discovering the specifics of human DNA sequences.
Since the inception of the holiday in 2003, the goal has been to give back to the public with knowledge on genetics - and there's no better way to do that than with at-home DNA kits.
If you've ever been interested in learning more about your ancestry or family history, right now is the best time to do so as many of the best at-home DNA kits are discounted on Amazon today.
While most tests unveil similar data, there are key differences between each one. Check them out below.
