Updates on DNA, genetic health and ancestry
New! Chromosome Tests
C h r o m o s y n t h e s i s
Chromosome tests are offered as an addition (with a discount, if you have already unlocked the original version) to the main advanced ancestry tests they are derived from. They are not an ancestry test, but an individual chromosome by chromosome deep analysis. We would suggest unlocking these after you have tried the main ancestry tests.
Chromosynthesis is an excellent tool for capturing even the most distant ancestry, unlike the main advanced ancestry tests we offer, which give an overall view of your origins, Chromosynthesis delves deeper into each individual chromosome, which contain unique information and can have a diverse 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.
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.

New! Advanced Ancestry Analysis
We are launching Advanced Ancestry Analysis. There are two packages, each containing a modern and ancient test. Over time there will be free improvements and the possibility to unlock updates.
Eurasia
Eurasia is a global ancestry test. There is a modern analysis and an ancient test. There will be frequent updates, as new population samples become available.
Advanced Ancestry Analysis
Eurasia - Foundations of the Modern World, 500 BC-1000 AD
This test is focused on the Late Antiquity/Early Medieval period.
Advanced Ancestry Analysis
Eurasia - Modern Origins
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
Pangea is a global ancestry test. There is a modern analysis and an ancient test. There will be frequent updates, as new population samples become available.
Advanced Ancestry Analysis
Pangea - Homogenesis and Civilisations, 3000 BC-1000 AD
This ancient test focuses on the period from the Bronze Age to the late Middle Ages.
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.

New free oracles and reference populations
We hope you are well at this difficult time. yourDNAportal has begun an exciting new project, with the aim of increasing the accuracy of your ethnicity estimates. We have added 4 new free oracles. You can find these on the Eurogenes admixture results pages for the EUtest, Jtest, K13 and K15. We plan to have frequent updates.
The recent update involves two main aspects. Firstly, we have modified the mathematical parameters, which will enable you to view your results as a 2 way oracle, a 4 way oracle and an innovative “10%” minimum feature. Secondly, we have added new population references which will provide more accurate results.

DNA Relatives BETA
We have launched the beta version of DNA relatives. If you choose to opt in, it may take a couple of weeks to populate your page with genetic relatives. We will give centimorgans, X chromosome matches, segment “start stop positions” and the predicted relationship range. We will add various charts and other utilities over time.
Initially we will have a “one to many” matching system. You can go to your profile to opt in and to add any information you would like to share with your DNA relative matches. You can also add your Wikitree ID to share your family tree with your matches. Wikitree are also in the process of creating a function where you will be able to add your yourDNAportal personal ID to your tree profile there, that will then populate your ancestors profiles (up to 5 generations) on your tree. This will be useful for identifying relatives descended from mutual ancestors. All of these choices are optional.

New report: EDAR
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.
