Ancestry by DNA Testing Services

Discover your anthropological roots. These simple Ancestry by DNA tests can tell you where on earth your ancestors originated and travelled... your unique geographical and racial heritage.

International Biosciences can provide you with conclusive answers about your ancestry and genealogy from a very unique perspective; that of your own genetic makeup.

Because of the extensive amount of research performed in order to compile our massive genealogical DNA database, which utilises existing indigenous peoples and archaeological finds; and due to the nature of how DNA is passed on from generation to generation; our scientists can focus on the DNA sequences that indicate a person's unique "BioGeographical" identity.

Ancestral Origins™ DNA Ancestry Testing Price: £199.00 (regular) / £219 (large)* Testing: Applicant only Timeframe: 2 weeks Discover your GeoGenetic links with populations around the world. Ancestral Origins™ is the most refined and easy to understand DNA genealogy test on the market. With this simple DNA Ancestry test, your DNA profile is compared against hundreds of global populations and fourteen anthropological regions whose collective genetic information is known and scientifically validated. We then measure the likelihood that your genetic information is linked with each of those populations and regions, and plot the results on a very high resolution map which illustrates your unique geogenetic heritage from both a per-population view, and an overall regional view. DNA genealogy has never been so easy to understand!

“…I was genuinely excited to discover entirely East Asian roots, and the poster itself looks lovely…” - P.L.

About the Ancestral Origins™ DNA Ancestry Map

DNA genealogy using the Ancestral Origins™ DNA Test benefits greatly from the experience of one of the world’s top human identity DNA testing laboratories. We've compiled data from scientific publications such as Forensic Science International and The Journal of Forensic Sciences; from organizations such as the Yale School of Medicine; and from our own population databases into what is now called "FoGG DB™": the Focused GeoGenetic Database. We've also developed an analysis suite called FoggPopper™ which uses a human DNA profile to pull relevant data out of FoGG DB™ and then perform various calculations and follow certain algorithms to arrive at a result which reveals a person's strongest DNA ancestry. The data from this DNA ancestry test is then compiled into the Ancestral Origins™ DNA Ancestry map, personalized for each customer.
Each Ancestral Origins™ DNA Ancestry map is broken into three major sections: Population Matches, Native Region Matches, and Strength Indicators.

Population Matches: We measure your DNA individually against every population in our database, and mark how strongly your profile matched against each. On the population match map, each population has a shape which tells you which anthropological region that population belongs to, as well as a color to indicate how strong of a match you had with it. Green is the best match, yellow is a good match, and red means that no match or a weak match was made. In this set of calculations, we also indicate three special anthropological regions, which are actually groups of dispersed populations. A dispersed population is one that has migrated from a native land to somewhere else on the globe. Currently we have data for African Americans, European Americans, and Hispanic Americans.

Native Region Matches: Running a completely new set of calculations, and not using any of our "dispersed population" regions, we determine which anthropological native regions you have the strongest links with. The strongest match is indicated in green, any subsequent matches are indicated in yellow. While the population match map contains data concerning recent migrations to North America, the Native Region map does not, and can be considered more of a "Deep Roots" match.

Strength Indicators: The first strength indicator graph looks at the cumulative strength of all the populations in your matched regions, and shows you how strong each region is in comparison with each other. This way, you not only know how strong individual populations are with the population match map, but can look at the larger picture, and know how each represented region measures up with any other regions you may have matched. A second strength indicator looks at your native region matches (in the smaller map) and simply shows you how each native region compares in strength with any other native regions you may have matched.

Quality, Size, and Personalization

Each Ancestral Origins™ DNA Ancestry map is printed using a photographic-quality five-dye printing process on glossy photographic paper. These images come out rich and beautiful and are suitable for framing and displaying with pride in your home. They come in two sizes. You can order a standard (17" x 10.6") version, or an extra large (27.25" x 17") version which is absolutely stunning and only an additional £20. Because every map is custom made, your map will have "Exclusively prepared for" followed by your name printed on it.

Personalised Ancestral Origins DNA Analysis Report

Included with your results is a personalised Ancestral Origins DNA Analysis Report together with an account of historical migration, which will explain how different populations have moved around the world. This coupled with your personal results will give you a more comprehensive insight into your ancestral roots.

Your personal report will include your DNA Profile together with your 'Top 20' Personal Population Matches ranked in order of strength. Click here to view an extract from a Personalised Ancestral Origins DNA Analysis Report.

EarthOrigins™ Ancestry 2.5
Price: £299.00*
Testing: Applicant only
Timeframe: 6-8 weeks

The EarthOrigins™ Ancestry 2.5 DNA test determines what percentage of each of the following groups is present in your DNA profile: your BioGeographical Ancestry. There are four major anthropological groups from which we can all be descended :-

• Native American (includes all peoples that migrated into what is now North, South, and Central America)
• East Asian (includes peoples from Japan, China, Mongolia, Korea, Southeast Asia and Pacific Islanders, as well as the Philippines)
• African (includes peoples from the Sub-Saharan lands such as Nigeria and the Congo)
• European (includes peoples from what is now Europe and the Middle Eastern and South Asian populations from the Indian subcontinent, which includes India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka)

With this knowledge, you can better understand your heritage. We determine this information by analyzing 175 SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms; a portion of genetic material which can vary from person to person; pronounced "snips"). The 175 SNPs we test are those we've identified that can define anthropological groupings.

With the EarthOrigins™ Ancestry 2.5 DNA test, you'll receive a beautiful, frameable Certificate of Ancestry (click here to see a sample) which shows your BioGeographical pedigree; two full-colour maps of the world showing human migration routes and population distributions; and a FAQ and glossary to help you understand the science and significance of your Ancestry by DNA test.

If you have substantial European ancestry, the EarthOrigins™ EuroDNA 1.0 DNA test amplifies that European heritage and can give you the percentage of DNA heritage you have (in addition to the four major anthropological groups we measure in the Ancestry 2.5 test) among the following European anthropological sub-groups :-

• Northern European
• South Eastern European (Mediterranean)
• Middle Eastern
• South Asia

If your EarthOrigins™ DNA test results reveal greater than 50% for European ancestry, less than 15% for African ancestry, less than 40% for East Asian ancestry, and less than 15% for Native American ancestry, then you're a candidate for the EuroDNA test. Here, we'll further test your DNA samples and examine a total of 320 SNPs to determine your lineage among the European anthropological sub-groups.

With the EarthOrigins™ Ancestry 2.5 DNA test, you'll receive two beautiful, frameable Certificates of Ancestry (click here to see a sample) which shows your BioGeographical pedigree for both the Ancestry 2.5 and EuroDNA tests; two full-colour maps of the world showing human migration routes and population distributions; and a FAQ and glossary to help you understand the science and significance of your Ancestry by DNA test.

If you've already purchased our EarthOrigins™ Ancestry 2.5 DNA test, you can purchase EuroDNA as an upgrade for only £279.00.
