Vergelijking van raw DNA-testgegevens, waaronder 23andMe, Ancestry DNA, My Heritage, Family Tree DNA, Ancestry DNA, Genes For Good, Genera en We Gene.

Wil je je DNA verkennen? De meeste direct-naar-consument DNA-testbedrijven stellen je in staat om je ruwe DNA-gegevens te downloaden, omdat je je eigen DNA-gegevens bezit, en je vanuit de comfortabele en privacy van je eigen huis verschillende DNA-analyses kunt uitvoeren..

De tabel hieronder geeft het aantal DNA-markers weer dat wordt geleverd door enkele bekende DNA-testbedrijven, waaronder 23andMe, Ancestry DNA, Family Tree DNA, My Heritage, GPS Origins, We Gene en Genes For Good.

Since few DNA testing companies offer exactly the same DNA test, making a comparison between tests can be confusing. The tabel above summarises the number of DNA markers reported by different direct-to-consumer DNA testing companies. The DNA test from GPS Origins targets the lowest number of SNP markers, and consequently this data has the most limited utility of all direct-to-consumer DNA testing kits available on the market. While raw DNA data can be downloaded from GPS origins, few other websites have built in compatibility to transfer and analyze this raw DNA data. DNA testing data from 23andMe, Ancestry DNA, Family Tree DNA and My Heritage are the most widely accepted for 3rd party raw DNA analysis. Aside from the number of SNP markers tested, other considerations when ordering a direct-to-consumer DNA testing kit include if the test targets DNA markers (SNPs and InDels) positioned on the "Y Chromosome" and "Mitochondria" .
