ancestry test
DNA origin report
An ancestry test is a genetic analysis that estimates a person's ethnic and geographic origins based on DNA markers.
Commercial services compare your sample against reference populations to produce percentage breakdowns: The ancestry test said I'm 40% Irish and 25% West African.
Results vary between companies and should be understood as estimates rather than precise measurements.
