Over time there will be free improvements and the possibility to unlock updates, as new populations are added to our reference panels. As our mathematical methods and algorithms evolve, we will add additional tools for you to explore your ancestry.
Laniakea offers a completely new perspective on ancestry analysis. While providing an accurate individual autosomal analysis, it avoids referencing modern political and national boundaries. The purpose of Laniakea is to better define the genetic identity of each individual, which often transcends national or regional identity.
This first version of Laniakea is a "Global" test. It will be followed by the release of other detailed regional versions, which will offer the most complete analysis available.
Eurasia is a global autosomal ancestry test which also includes an ancient test- Foundations of the Modern World (500 BC-1000 AD). This test is focused on the Late Antiquity/Early Medieval period. There will be frequent updates, as new population samples become available.
This test is focused on the Late Antiquity/Early Medieval period.
Modern populations are like a puzzle, related to each other in different measure and forming a complete global picture when seen as a whole. With Modern Origins you will discover which pieces of the puzzle you descend from.
Pangea is a global autosomal ancestry test which also includes an ancient test- Homogenesis and Civilisations (3000 BC-1000 AD). There will be frequent updates, as new population samples become available.
Modern ethnic groups are the result of the mixing of various ancient populations, whose migrations over long time periods would shape the course of both prehistory and history. The period most representative of this activity goes from the Bronze Age to the early Middle Ages. This is the time frame to which the test refers.
All human groups are genetically interrelated with each other. There are no ‘English’, ‘French’, ‘Congolese’ or ‘Chinese’ genes, but there is an ADMIXTURE typical of certain populations, characterised by an inevitable degree of variability. For this reason, sometimes results may appear not to correspond with your genealogy. This arises because of the genetic similarity between part of your genome and these groups.
The Holocene is the name of the most recent geological epoch and also the one in which we are currently living. It began around twelve thousand years ago with the end of the Wurmian glaciation and the advent of the Neolithic. This period witnessed innovations, technological developments and migrations that all contributed to the genetic foundations of the modern world. Holocene is therefore a test aimed at capturing and estimating the populations that distinguish the 'building blocks' of your modern identity. The test is globally effective while being more detailed for Europe, Central and Western Asia and the Mediterranean.
This estimate plots your archaic origins based on a limited time frame, closely related to the Neolithic period and the first introduction of metals (Chalcolithic).
This estimate plots your archaic origins based on a longer time frame and also includes subsequent events derived from the Neolithic period.
Advanced Autosomal Native American Ancestry Analysis
This test is based on a totally new and unique admixture algorithm. It is exclusively for people with some Native American ancestry. It analyses autosomal indigenous ancestry from North, Central, South America and the Caribbean. This test will be updated over time as new population samples become available.
Please be aware before unlocking this test, that it is specifically for people with some Native American ancestry. It is not intended as a general ancestry test. This test includes many Native American samples, but if you are not Native American (or if you don’t have some partial Native American ancestry) you will receive a basic continental result e.g. Eurasian, African etc.
This test utilises the most up to date research, utilising a comprehensive dataset of tribal specific Native American samples. Also included are basic regional results from Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
This test utilises a large dataset of samples, to estimate an overall share of Native American ancestry in your genome, without specific tribal breakdowns. This test will reveal even the smallest traces of Native American ancestry.
This test reveals your connection to ancient Native American populations.
This test is based on a totally new and unique admixture algorithm. It is exclusively for people with some African ancestry. It analyses autosomal ancestry, including Ancient, Modern and North African. This test will be updated over time as new population samples become available.
This test reveals your connection to ancient African populations.
This test utilises the most up to date research, with a large dataset of samples, to assess your African ancestry.
This test assesses your North African ancestry.
Laniakea Global Chromosynthesis is designed to more accurately define the genetic identity of each individual transcending national and regional boundaries. By analysing each chromosome individually, it will yield detailed results capable of detecting even remote traces.
This test utilises Laniakea Global to give you a chromosome by chromosome analysis of your genetic identity. For each chromosome, you will get:
Eurasia is a global autosomal ancestry test which also includes an ancient test- Foundations of the Modern World (500 BC-1000 AD).
This ancient test specialises in the Late Antiquity / Early Medieval period.
Eurasia Modern Origins is a modern global autosomal genetic ancestry test.
Pangea is a global autosomal ancestry test which also includes an ancient test- Homogenesis and Civilisations (3000 BC-1000 AD).
This ancient test focuses on the period from the Bronze Age to the late Middle Ages.

This test utilises the most up to date research, with a large dataset of samples, to assess your African ancestry in detail, on each individual chromosome.
This test assesses your North African ancestry on each individual chromosome.
Chromosynthesis is an excellent tool for capturing even the most distant ancestry. Each chromosome contains unique information and can have a very different autosomal profile. Usually the first 10 chromosomes are the most relevant, while the last 2 are less informative. A small percentage (1% of a chromosome) equals approximately 0.045% of the entire autosome. By analysing each chromosome, we can reveal both a deeper and more detailed ancestry than other tests. It is exclusively for people with some Native American ancestry. It analyses autosomal indigenous ancestry from North, Central, South America and the Caribbean.
