Ancestry Test
This NEW test will allow you to go beyond what you can learn from your relatives or historical documentation. Studies have shown that certain patterns of genetic variations are often shared among population groups from specific continents, countries and/or regions.
By examining your DNA variations, BioCeritca can discover clues about where your ancestors may have come from and provide you with a heritage report that will identify what percentage of your DNA is associated with around 18 populations from around the world. For example, you could be 40% South East Asian: Bengali, 30% West African and 30% Northern European.
