| The BGA test determines the probable
fractions of one's ancestry that are Indo-European (European, Middle Eastern
and South Asian), Native American (South and North American), sub-Saharan
African (all African countries but Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Morocco, Sudan and
Tunisia) and East Asian (Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific). |

The first contour (black line) around
your BGA result delimits the space outside of which the points are 2 times less
likely, and the second contour (blue line) delimits the space outside of which
the estimates are 5 times less likely. The third contour (yellow line) delimits
the space outside of which the estimates are 10 times less likely than your
result. |
| Ray Brooks' comments about this result: "I
am identified as Native American and I am Tri-racial. My Mother was mulatto and
her mother was Caucasian. I have traced three of her lines back to England. one
which has Mayflower ancestry. I did have an mtDNA test done, which showed my
maternal ancestor as belonging to the 7 Daughters of Eve, TARA clan. My mother
father's was African American descent, and there may or may not be some Indian
ancestry on his side. I had a DNA test done through an African DNA testing
project here. They were only looking for West African ancestry through the
paternals lines, and none showed up in my results, although my 1st cousin
showed a PN1 West African result on his father's line. By the way, My cousin
and I have the same 3rd great-grandfather on my maternal-father's side through
intermarriage, but still no major African group showed up on my paternal
testing. I definately knew there was African ancestry, so I wasn't surprised
that I had a 57% African on the AncestryDNA testing. I did think the the
Indo-European percentage would be higher, since it was from my grandmother, and
I know that there must have been some other European bloodlines in the family,
since many of my ancestors are listed as mulatto. I also thought that the
Native American would be at least 1/4, since I am told as well as taken for
Full Blood and I have read that you have to be at least 1/4 to have the
physical phenotype of a certain ethinicity, maybe it is a combination of all
three that gives me my look." |
A Genotype is the actual building block at one location
on your DNA. For instance if, at a certain location, you inherited an 'A' from
your mother and a 'C' from your father, your genotype would be 'AC' for that
location. (The DNAPrint results do not distinguish paternal-maternal order;
i.e., it could be AC or CA.) There are approximately 3,000,000,000 building
blocks (base pairs) in the human genome, however only 0.1% of these building
blocks are variable from person to person. The BGA test measures the specific
genotype at 70 highly informative deep ancestral locations. Genotypes:

| There is some slight variation from run to run on how
well the analysis works. Because of this sometimes a marker is judged failed
during the quality control step. Note that locations #972 & #1146 are
marked FL=failed. Omitted and FL markers are not used in the percentage
calculation. |
