How does DNA testing work (Complete guide)

How does DNA testing work? Ancestry and health risk genetic tests tests provided by companies like 23andMe can tell you about your origins and about mutations that might increase your risk of developing a disease. Ancestry testing services tell you roughly where you are from. The services cannot tell you precisely where you are from and companies often downplay the uncertainty of ancestry results. Disease DNA tests sold to consumers are accurate about the mutations they are allowed to report, but they only report a part of the possible mutations. The DNA tests sold to consumers are microarray tests provided mostly by the genetics giant Illumina. Sequencing technologies for genetic testing are used in diagnostic laboratories and they can provide a full report of the mutations found in the genome.

By combining these fields, a more in-depth picture of one's past can be constructed. In this video, I did not cover the Y-chromosome and the mitochondrial DNA testing that are also often tested by people interested in their genetic genealogy. With these methods, one can learn more about their direct paternal ancestors (Y-chromosome) and direct maternal ancestors (mitochondrial DNA). As no recombination happens with the Y-chromosome and the mitochondrial DNA, these lineages can be traced a lot further back. However, they are only individual lineages in a family tree with thousands of ancestors. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
