HOW IT WORKS?

Step 1.

Your raw genetic data will be processed and projected onto a PCA-based data space comprising thousands of ancient and modern individuals

Step 2.

We extract your coordinates that represent your genetic position in the PCA space

Step 3.

We use those coordinates to utilize a series of analysis (see below) and convey your results

UTILITIES

An all-in-one suite of analysis tools designed to provide you with the most detailed results possible.
Hunter & Farmer

Explore your Hunter-Gatherer and Farmer ancestry, tracing back to the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras.

Unsupervised Analysis

Let the algorithm roll. Gain more insights into your genetic composition with 2- and 3-way ancient and modern models, offering 50 combinations ranked from best to least fitting.

Closest Populations

Learn about your genetically most similar 50 ancient and modern populations.

PCA Plots

Discover how you cluster against thousands of ancient and modern populations spanning over 10 different geographical regions.

DIY Models
