| 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. |

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. Some markers do not yield a result (XX). Because of
this sometimes a marker is judged failed (FL) during the quality control step.
Omitted XX and FL markers are not used in the percentage calculation. |
