HomeDNA™ starter ancestry test details.

Now you can connect your past with your present! Using 100 DNA markers to determine the origins of your ancestors, this test first identifies the geographic areas that contributed to your DNA, giving you a picture of where you came from. After determining your genetic makeup based on your past, the test looks at STR (Short Tandem Repeat) markers, also known as the 13 CODIS loci, to compare your DNA to populations in today’s world  and identify the people with whom your DNA has the most in common.
