| 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. |
Brett Strobel's comments about these
results: These are rather surprising results. I live in South Central Ohio. My
family has lived in this vicinity since approximately 1795 (Frontier Border
Wars). Both lines, that is, my father and mothers ancestors lived in close
proximity. I actually expected native ancestry since my great-grandmother and
my 3rd great-grandmother were Native Americans of at least 1/2 blood. They were
Shawnee and Wyandotte according to our family bible. (I have pictures of them
in native dress.) Additionally, I have found Chippewa on my fathers side,
albeit, much further back in the line (Approx 1780). All of my native ancestors
were female.
Comments of L. David Roper: I am
also 17% East Asian and I have family traditions of Native American ancestry,
but not hard evidence such as Brett Strobel has. I think that some Native
American ancestry is testing as East Asian, which is not terribly surprising
since there may have been at least two migrations of Asians into America. |
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. |
