MyHeritage DNA Results

[BalkanKiwi]

For those who want a new DNA test, MyHeritage now offers autosomal DNA testing.

I ordered this test last friday I hope it will be worth it

Any examples of ethnic results?

Any examples of ethnic results?

I've had a look and haven't managed to find any examples or information on population clusters.

I think Family Finder file is enough for them (at least for now)

[jortita]

Will wait till some of you get your results, before ordering one to understand their clusters. I have sent my Living DNA sample back to them which still hasto be received. I am hoping I will be able to order 23andMe from Bangkok soon

Can testing DNA via myheritage tests give one the ability to move the results to ftdna ,since they are in some sort of "team arrangement" ?

Myheritage DNA is a joke. I transfered my FTDNA dna to them (for free) and had hundreds of matches. Recently they announced they were now out of beta testing and my hundreds of matches dropped to 14. Myheritage will not respond to mine and other people's questions regarding this. This was a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had one new match - my number remains at 14. Stick with the big 3 companies. I am not out any money so it is not a big deal to me, but I certainly wouldn't pay for their dna tests.

As the popularity of DNA tests is growing, every company tries to implement it. I won't be surprised if I see the same tests from Facebook, Google, Microsoft, McDonald's etc

The breakdown kind of reminds me of 23andme's:

Ethnicity Reports

In addition to DNA Matching, the DNA results include a fascinating breakdown of your ancestral ethnicity. You will be able to see the percentage of your DNA that comes from different populations around the world. This breakdown, displayed in a list and on a world map, may confirm long-held beliefs about your family origins, or perhaps reveal that you have roots in some unexpected places.



The initial ethnicity reports include 25 ethnicities, but this number will grow significantly thanks to the fascinating project described below.

MyHeritage’s Founder Populations Project

Founder Populations are modern groups that descend from a few individuals who left one area to settle another for political, religious, or social reasons. Founder populations amplify certain gene variants while maintaining significant stretches of uniformity in other DNA sequences. We have reached out to thousands of MyHeritage users from all around the world who are members of Founder Populations — their family trees exemplify consistent heritage from the same region or ethnicity for many generations. We are very happy that 5000 of those users have confirmed their participation in the project. In the past few months, we have been sending DNA kits to project participants far and wide, from Uzbekistan to Fiji, from Greenland to South Africa, and every corner of the globe. The results of these tests will yield a rich DNA data set of more than 100 ethnicities. The largest study of this kind ever conducted, the Founder Population project will enable us to show you your ancestral roots with far greater resolution than any other DNA service.

Standard ethnicity reports are currently available as part of your MyHeritage DNA test results, with the expert reports to be released at no additional cost following the completion of this project.
