How can I see the chromosome matches on 23andMe

It's easy to see your chromosome matches on 23andMe. First, you need to log in to your account and select "DNA Relatives" from the Ancestry dropdown menu. If you've chosen to participate in the DNA Relatives feature, you should find a list of people who share DNA with you. To view detailed chromosomal information, click on a relative's name. This opens the DNA Comparison tool, showing a visual comparison of where you share DNA.

Remember, the individual you're comparing against must also be participating in DNA Relatives for you to view this information.
