An ME/CFS friend this morning sent me a link in an email, and I've only had a quick look at the website. I understand that participants, besides sending in a saliva sample, will have to fill out a number of short surveys (relating to health?). They will also be given their raw data. Although the focus of the research is on health, participants will receive information on their ancestry.

Edit: I see that participants have to live in the US.
