You swab your cheek or spit into a vial, then send it away to a lab
somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your
ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or the report
could reveal a long-buried family secret and upend your entire sense of
identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, an incessant desire to find
answers to questions at the core of your being, like "Who am I?" and
"Where did I come from?" Welcome to the age of home genetic testing.
