Ancestry By DNA Test Ancestry DNA test for determining Native American, East Asian, Sub-Saharan African and European ancestry. |
By analyzing your genetic code, DNA testing identifies Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) in your genetic makeup, unlocking the secrets of your ancestral heritage. Results include the Most Likely Estimate (MLE) percentage of Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Learn more about understanding AncestryByDNA™ test results. |
Ancestry by DNA ™ research on full-blooded indigenous populations from around the world revealed several Ancestry Informative Markers (AIM) - genetic markers unique to specific populations, ethnicity and/or deep ancestral migration patterns. These DNA markers, which are relatively unique to specific populations, predict your Most Likely Estimate (MLE) of inheritance percentages.

APPROXIMATE ANCESTRAL REGION - SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN
DNA does not follow modern day political borders. For example, someone living in the modern day South Africa may have a genetic makeup that includes a wide array of ancestry markers including African and European. While it's not currently possible to identify "South African DNA", Ancestry By DNA ™ can differentiate between major geographic regions such as Sub-Saharan African (which includes most of the African continent south of the Sahara desert) and European (which includes the Middle East, Northern Europe and parts of Pakistan/India). Of course, someone living today in South Africa is likely to have an MLE percentage in both groups

The DNA Ancestry Map (above) illustrates approximate modern day geographic regions which correspond to Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) for Sub-Saharan African heritage. More information can be found in the comprehensive Ancestry By DNA ™ User Guide located on the CD-ROM that comes with your DNA results.
