Updates on DNA, genetic health and ancestry


NEW

New! Laniakea Global

We have launched a new ancestry test: Laniakea Global.
Laniakea is designed to draw out an individual's unique characteristics by capturing their ethnic composition beyond political or cultural boundaries. Laniakea deploys a completely new global admixture test that is able to capture the areas of the world where your genetic markers are more frequent. It uses advanced and customised analysis to refine your ethnicity estimate. The first iteration of the Laniakea project is Laniakea Global.

New! Holocene Chromosynthesis and Pangea Modern update

Holocene Chromosynthesis
This new chromosome analysis allows you to explore each chromosome individually, revealing in fine detail your deep ancestry. The "Holocene" test creates an estimate of ancient ethnicity drawn from the Neolithic period. This era marked the beginning of the transition to the modern world, from both a cultural and ethnic standpoint.

Pangea Modern update
Pangea Modern is a global ancestry test for all groups, containing both a modern and ancient ancestry test. We provide regular updates. There are 31 new populations, predominantly focusing on Asian groups. There are also additions from the Horn of Africa, the Arctic and the Americas.

This new oracle is global in its scope, with a level of detail sufficient to provide meaningful results in a variety of contexts.

The Neolithic to the Bronze Age

Holocene
yourDNAportal

NEW

New! Holocene

We have released a new ancient ancestry analysis: Holocene, which contains two tests, which cover the period from The Neolithic to the Chalcolithic and The Neolithic to the Bronze Age.
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.

by Gemma, on August 4th, 2022

UPDATE

New update! Native American Origins

This test is based on a totally new and unique admixture algorithm. It is exclusively for people with 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.

The new updated Native American Origins test, now comprises 3 new tests:

Native American Modern Origins
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.

Native American Genomewide Origins
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.

Native American Ancient Origins
This test reveals your connection to ancient Native American populations.

New! Chromosome Tests

Global Chromosome Tests

C h r o m o s y n t h e s i s

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.


What does Chromosynthesis provide?
Analyzing the autosomal profile at the single chromosome level allows us to capture the most remote and ancient origins - details that otherwise would remain hidden.
Each individual chromosome is analyzed with two distinct estimates created by complementary mathematical parameters.
This allows for a more conservative estimate (displaying a low margin of error, but tending to incorporate the smallest and most remote fragments within the main composition, thereby effectively ignoring them) and a more speculative one which also takes into account the most remote and less obvious signals.


How can I interpret my Chromosynthesis results?
Chromosynthesis has the ability to pick up very small and remote fractions of your autosomal composition.
In the various breakdowns, the most likely components to appear will largely be those from the last ten thousand years (Holocene), which have contributed to the formation of the modern ethnic group (or ethnic groups if mixed) to which each of us belongs.
In estimates based on ancient datasheets (e.g. Eurasia - Foundations of the Modern World) the speculative breakdown is extremely effective. However, for the modern one, it may sometimes be necessary to rely on the more conservative estimate. This is because the signals they could refer to derive from remote populations not easily represented by modern reference samples.

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.

Advanced Ancestry Analysis

Pangea - Modern Origins

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 the genealogy. This arises because of the genetic similarity between part of your genome and these groups.

This mutation arose 35,000 years ago in China, in a gene called EDAR. It confers, thicker hair follicles, straight hair, shovel shaped incisor teeth, more eccrine sweat glands, greater mammary duct branching density and smaller breasts (in women). This variant is present in Native American and East Asian people. It is not present in Africans and Europeans therefore it can be used to identify Native American ancestry or track Mongolian influences in Europe and West Asia.

We are now supporting additional file formats

We are now accepting uploads of raw data files from LivingDNA, YourHeritageDNA, National Geographic Geno 2.0, in addition to 23andme, Ancestry and FTDNA. You can upload your raw genetic data files from these providers on the “upload your genome data page”. There are instructions on how to obtain your raw data from your test provider. If you have had a DNA test with a provider not on this list you can email us about it and we will investigate if we can develop support for it in the future.

Data Protection

Data protection

We have successfully implemented the new data protection regulations for GDPR on the website. We have put launching our forum on hold while we make it GDPR compliant.

Launch

Our website pilot is now up and running

I created this project in order to have a place where all aspects of genetic genealogy and health can be explored. We are in the process of developing multiple tools to expand the limits of what we can all learn from our DNA. Please get in touch with any requests and we will try to implement them on our site.
