The new feature allows you to see scientific details behind your relations or connections with each of your DNA matches. You are now having access to each of your DNA samples. Look at the example below: New DNA Matching Details The customer shared 71 centimorgans across 5 DNA segments with this specific DNA match. Whenever you click on the info icon that appears at the right to the confidence level, on the same box, you can also click on the ‘What does this mean’ to get more information about centimorgans and how it is used to calculate relations and confidence scores for each DNA match. How are Centimorgans calculated? The number of shared centimorgans provides the amount of DNA that you and your match probably have in common because you both are inherited from a common ancestor.

Are You an Equal Mix of Mom and Dad?

  Many people are considering how the DNA reacts from the parents to their kids and siblings. DNA basics add so many questions to the gene methodology that people could ever imagine!

How Does Genetic Testing Work?

  A genetic test examines your DNA to determine which changes are causing the disease or putting you at a greater risk of having the disease in the future. Well, DNA is the code for our body.
