About MyAncientDNA.com

MyAncientDNA.com is an independent, reader-supported resource that explains ancient DNA ancestry testing in plain language — what it is, how it works, and how the major consumer DNA platforms compare when it comes to deep-time ancestry.

We are not a DNA testing company. We don't process DNA samples, and we don't have access to any reader's genetic data. Our content is based on publicly available information, published research, and each provider's own documentation, reviewed and summarized independently.
