You may have heard about the newest frontier of personal research — DNA testing. Now DNA testing is more accessible than ever before. DNA testing can tell you about your ethnic origins and help you discover family members you never knew existed. Easy-to-use, highly reliable, and affordable, DNA kits are also more available than ever, allowing you to unlock the unique information written in every cell of your body. All it takes is a simple cheek swab; then you sit back and wait, as the best technology science has to offer reveals fascinating new information about you, your family, and your past.

Those who are interested in their ethnic heritage and in increasing the possibility of discovering relatives who are thus far unknown to the family would do well to consider taking a home DNA test. The MyHeritage DNA test kit is easy to use, and the information it unlocks may confirm what you already knew, or really surprise you! Note that this DNA kit was designed as a DNA ancestry test - specifically to help you discover more about your family.

Ever wondered where you actually come from? Taking a DNA test can give you an accurate breakdown of which regions of the world your ancestors came from. People inherit half of their ethnicity from their mothers and half from their fathers, through their DNA, who in turn inherited half of their DNA from each of their parents, and so on, back in time. That means that decoding a person’s DNA allows us to see a small piece of the DNA of all of the ancestors who came before them. The more distant the relative, the smaller the DNA section they contributed, but it’s all there.

You may know about some of the ethnic groups associated with your family line through family stories. Or your relatives may also know a lot about where your ancestors settled and migrated to and from. One way to accurately find out exactly which geographical areas your forebears came from — to confirm oral histories or to fill in the gaps — is to take a DNA test. Even if you think you know a lot already, you may discover surprises!

Genetsko testiranje vam omogoča razumevanje vaših genov, navodil DNK za vaše telo, ki ste jih podedovali od staršev. V zadnjih nekaj letih so DNK kompleti postali zelo priljubljeni, saj so se stroški, povezani s testiranjem, zelo zmanjšali.

Vas zanima več o vašem rodovniku? Iščete krvne sorodnike? Kompleti DNK, kot je komplet DNK MyHeritage, vam omogočajo, da odkrijete svojo etnično razčlenitev in vas lahko povežejo s neznanimi pottencilanimi sorodniki.

Eden najbolj fascinantnih, vznemirljivih in potencialno dramatičnih rezultatov testa DNK, povezanega s predniki, je etnični profil, ki ga zagotavlja vaša DNK. Odkrivanje, kaj vas dela edinstvenega, in presenečenje, ko izveste, od koder v resnici prihajate, je izkušnja, ki vam daje moč.

»Testiranje linije lahko izsledi vaše prednike do resničnih obstoječih ljudi, ki so nosili to določeno vrsto DNK skozi prazgodovino do danes,« pojasnjuje Peter Forster, genetik na Univerzi v Cambridgeu v Združenem kraljestvu.

Seveda lahko! Osebno genetsko testiranje vam nudi največ možnosti, da najdete ustrezne informacije o svoji družini. Autosomal DNA testi lahko vsebujejo odkritja o vaših etničnih prednikih, ki so lahko presenetljiva.

Veliko posvojencev je uspešno indentificiralo svoje rojstne starše s pomočjo genetskih testiranj in drugih razpoložljivih virov. Kakorkoli, genetsko testiranje je lahko v pomoč pri genealoških vprašanjih. Veliko jih je uspešno uporabilo Y-DNK v povezavi z atDNK in zgodovinskimi izpisi za identifikacijo očetov nelegitimnih prednikov. Drugi so uporabili mtDNK za podporo potomcev iz skupnih materinih prednikov za potrditev, ali zavrnitev družinskih legend glede afriških ali prednikov ameriških staroselcev.

Locked inside your DNA is your unique ethnic makeup, the history of your ancestors, and a web of close and distant relatives waiting to be found. From a quick quick swab of your cheek, the test determines your ethnic origins and finds your relatives. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and in almost all other living organisms. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA, and it is passed down from parents to their children. Whenever organisms reproduce, a portion of their DNA is passed along to their offspring ensuring a certain level of continuity from one generation to the next.

DNA is the blueprint for who you are. You inherited 50% of your DNA from your mother and 50% from your father, who inherited half of their DNA from each of their parents. That’s why relatives often look alike — you share a lot of the genetic makeup that determines who you are.

Have you ever thought about testing your DNA? Now that home DNA kits have become easier, more reliable, and more affordable than ever, there is no better time to take an ancestry DNA test. You’ll be able to find out your ethnicity estimate — where your ancestors called home is written in your DNA, since you inherited your DNA from all of the forefathers who came before you. You’ll also be able to find living relatives who have a shared ancestor because some common DNA from that shared ancestor will show up in both of your DNA tests.

DNA kits are a way for you to take a DNA test at home. They don’t require any special equipment or sterile conditions, and they come with everything you need. If you’ve ever considered DNA testing, now is the time to do it. Home DNA tests have never been more accessible — they are easier to use than ever, the results are more reliable, and the prices more affordable than ever before.
