Q: How does DNA Tribes autosomal analysis relate to other forms of genetic analysis, such as Y chromosome, mtdDNA or admixture tests?
DNA Tribes unique autosomal analysis complements other types of genetic tests, by using DNA passed down equally from male and female ancestors. The autosomal STRs tested by DNA Tribes are passed down from both male and female and both lineal and non-lineal ancestors. Each person inherits a unique combination of these autosomal STRs. DNA Tribes identifies the individual ethnic groups and world regions where a person’s total combination of ancestry is most frequent or common. DNA Tribes analysis can complement Y chromosome or mtDNA information by providing information about genetic connections passed down from a sampling of both lineal non-lineal ancestors, providing a more well-rounded and inclusive picture of a person’s overall ancestry. DNA Tribes analysis can complement admixture testing by identifying connections to individual ethnic groups and world regions, providing a more detailed view of ancestry based on both indigenous and admixed Diaspora populations as they actually exist.
