AncestryByDNA™ 2.5

AncestryByDNA™, the flagship product of our Genealogy group, now makes it affordable for the general public to discover their hereditary profile. This is a great tool for those individuals or groups interested in exploring their ancestry and lineage. By submitting a DNA sample to our lab, customers can receive an impressive analysis of their geographic origins. AncestryByDNA™ will determine your genetic heritage among the four anthropological groups:

Native American East Asian Sub-Saharan African (areas south of the Sahara Desert) Indo-European (Europe, Middle East, North Africa, Western Asia)

These groups are named using modern-day terms but represent anthropological lineages that extend back in time tens of thousands of years. For example, the term “European” is meant to describe a common ancestry held by peoples from continental Europe, the Middle East, Eurasia, Central Asia and South Asia – sometimes referred to as “Caucasoids”. EuroDNA™ is a more advanced analysis tool that allows our clients of European heritage to more thoroughly understand their ancestry.

EurasianDNA 1.0

This service will predict your Indo-European heritage among the following groups:

Northern European Southeastern European (Mediterranean) Middle Eastern South Asian

The Northern European region is comprised of the British Isles, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland, etc.
The Southeastern European region is comprised of Italy, Greece and Turkey.
The Middle Eastern region is comprised of countries near the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea including Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, etc., and countries in North Africa, including Algeria, Libya, Morocco, etc.
The South Asian region is comprised of India and Pakistan.

EuropeanDNA 2.0

This service will predict your European heritage among the following groups:

Southeastern Europe (SEE) Iberian (IB) Basque (BAS) Continental European (CE) Northeastern European (NEE)

DNAPrint® Genomics powerful new EuropeanDNA2.0 product, further elucidates European sub-ancestry using 1,349 European Ancestry Informative Markers (SNP AIMs). This test reports a customer's proportional basic continental European ancestry: Southeastern Europe (SEE - Armenian, Jewish, Italian and Greek), Iberian (IB -Spanish, Portuguese), Basque (BAS - Spanish/French Pyrenees border), Continental European (CE - German, Irish, English, Netherlands, French, Swiss and some Italian) and North Eastern European (NEE - Polish, Baltic, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian) ancestry. The EuropeanDNA 2.0 test is by far the most advanced genetic ancestry test yet to be offered to the public. It is based on recently published scientific work using DNA chips to compare populations from around the world. The reference for this test is: Bauchet M, McEvoy B, Pearson L, Quillen E, Sarkisian T, Hovhannesyan K, Deka R, Bradley D, Shriver M. 2007. Measuring European population stratification with microarray genotype data. American Journal of Human Genetics 80(5): 948-956.

The tests are simple and painless, and your Ancestry Certification Analysis is shipped to you in a matter of weeks.

Overview

Purpose
Very few of our ancestors remained in one part of the world; most migrated to different regions and population interactions and mixture over the past 50,000 years has been fundamental in shaping modern-day society. As a result, our geographic origins have become more complex over the generations. Possibly you are adopted and have an interest in better understanding your heritage. Or perhaps you are wondering if you are of Native American descent. Many of our clients simply desire to explore and confirm their family's genealogical profile. The Ancestry Certification Analysis provided by AncestryByDNA™ delivers these results and a wealth of additional backup analysis to be kept for generations to come.

Scientific Basis
AncestryByDNA™ has been developed to take advantage of a patented scientific breakthrough in DNA analysis that allows genealogical research to now be done very cost-effectively. Because of this breakthrough, BioGeographical Ancestry (BGA) research is now available to the general public.
Our scientists have discovered a method to focus DNA analysis on only those regions of the DNA that are meaningful in determining the anthropological origins of an individual's ancestry. These Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) are used to quantitatively estimate the BioGeographical Ancestry of an individual. For example, one person may obtain a 90% European, 10% sub-Saharan African result while another may obtain a 100% East Asian result.

This powerful DNA analysis technology is currently in use by forensic scientists, crime laboratories, and medical examiners worldwide. For example, DNAPrint® Genomics' Forensic system was used to help identify and convict a serial killer in 2003 (see investor relations section of www.dnaprint.com).
