Find out the ethnic combination you have inherited from all your ancestors from fathers & mothers
Each of us inherits his/her genes from his/her parents, who have inherited the same from their parents, and so on to infinity. This means that if you go back to one generation (your immediate parents), you will find that you are a combination of the genes of two persons. If you go back to two generations (your grandfathers and grandmothers), you will find that you are a combination of four people. You will find 8 ancestors in the third generation, 16 in the fourth generation, 32, 64, 128, and 256. If I go back to ten generations, you will find 1024 ancestors, and so on to infinity.
All these ancestors have undoubtedly bequeathed part of their genes to you, and they may belong to the same population group or likely to be different population groups from different areas. This will certainly reflect on your genetic composition in terms of ethnic diversity and percentage of each ethnicity. You may carry a gene from a sequence of more than 17 generations of ancestors.
Fortunately, due to the scientific development, it is possible to determine the genetic characteristics of each indigenous population group in any area of the world, which have been inherited by this group from the ancient indigenous population in the same area, and to create genetic models for each population group for comparison with the somatic DNA of any person and estimate the representation percentage of each population group in its DNA.
By testing more than 2,000 geographical areas, more than 180 indigenous and secondary ethnic groups were identified. At DNS & US, we are keen to set genetic models for the major ethnic groups and identify the secondary ethnic groups under them. This will provide you with more precise and deep testing, which will enable you to get a deeper understanding of the history of your ancestors.
Through this service, you will be able to learn about the history of your ancestors, whether on the patrilineal or maternal lines and whether on the father's side or the mother's side, back for about 800 years, and learn about the ethnicities you inherited from your ancestors and the estimated percentage of each ethnicity.
Moreover, this service will allow you to know the locations of each ethnicity you carry in your genes on the world map, and to view lengthy researches on the history of these population groups from the prehistorical ages to the present time, the most prominent events they have witnessed, and the ancient population groups from which they have received influences and genetic effects, and other interesting information which DNS & US seeks to constantly develop in the light of genetic results and development of our database.
We also seek to add the feature of genetic match, through which you will be able to know your relatives with whom you share a common ancestor on any patrilineal or maternal line for approximately five generations or more.
