Pinpoint the History of your DNA! HomeDNA Advanced Test for Ancestry is an innovative analysis that takes you deep into your family history, often back 1,000 years or more—with a high level of specificity that you never thought possible. This next-generation autosomal DNA test combines the latest genetic research with a new ancestral tracking technique to pinpoint more precisely where your most recent DNA signature began and how it changed over time.

Pinpoint your DNA! Your GPS Origins kit contains easy-to-follow instructions, cheek swabs for collecting your DNA samples, and a postage-paid envelope for returning your samples to our lab (U.S. customers only). Using a DNA sample you provide through a simple cheek swab, our qualified laboratory tests more than 80,000 unique genetic markers. Cross-checking that information across dozens of gene pools and more than 900 reference populations, we use your DNA to create a detailed report about where your family originated and how it migrated around the world to where you are today.

HomeDNA™ Starter Ancestry Test uses the power of DNA to find out where your ancestors came from and discover the current population groups with which you have the most in common. DNA from a simple cheek swab gives you a world population ancestry analysis identifying your roots. Then, the second part of the test shows you which of today’s populations most resemble your DNA. Fun!
