Why Ancestral Legacy?
Ancestry Reports Ancestral Legacy offers the most comprehensive and far-reaching granular ancestry report available anywhere on the internet. While most providers limit their analysis to tracing your lineage back only 6-10 generations (roughly 180-300 years ago), Ancestral Legacy takes a giant leap further into your past. Our service doesn’t just skim the surface of recent history—we illuminate the legacy of your ancestors: you, reaching back 10,000-15,000 generations to explore up to 300,000 years of your ancestors' journeys, narratives, and migrations. Furthermore, most services only provide confusing, generic and unpersonalised ancestry reports. Here at Ancestral Legacy, we offer you the option of bespoke, personalised, regional ancestry reports, alongside our general ancestry reports. This personalised regional report delves deeper into your specific genetic origins for each period we examine, offering rich, personal and detailed insights into your ancestry. Whether you want to understand your Viking ancestry, trace connections to ancient civilisations, or uncover the genetic impact of migrations specific to your heritage, we can cater our reports to your unique story. Moreover, our ever-expanding database contains over 40,000 individuals from over 6000 modern (including mixed, colonial, and diaspora) and ancient populations or genetic communities. This is much more numerous than the database of most other providers. You can be certain that your unique Ancestral Legacy will find representation in our closest modern populations and closest ancient populations report. Our admixture inference technology is also up to date and scientific. We use the nMonte 3 script in R to perform Euclidean optimisation of your unique set of 25-dimensional scaled principal component coordinates, obtained from a bespoke principal component analysis of your genome, against the 25-dimensional scaled principal component coordinate sets of other source individuals or populations, in order to infer your admixture proportions. Similarly, we determine your closest populations by calculating the Euclidean distance between your unique set of 25-dimensional scaled principal component coordinates and those of individuals or populations in our ever-expanding database. We also regularly refine our source populations to ensure that our admixture inferences reflect the findings of academic studies and holistic pedigree based admixture estimates to the greatest extent possible.
Health Reports Ancestral Legacy offers the most comprehensive, far-reaching and advanced genetic health reports on the internet. Most providers offer only 30-60 health related reports. These reports are often unclear, confusing, and inaccurate. We offer you over 120 health reports, including both polygenic and monogenic insights, using our state of the art polygenic probability predictors, and research informed monogenic analyses. We present these in a clear, informative and easy to understand manner. The majority of the health related reports we offer are not offered by any other providers. The amount of health reports we offer is ever-expanding, so you can be certain you'll come back for more.
Trait Reports Ancestral Legacy offers a comprehensive, advanced and far-reaching report for your genetic traits. Most providers offer around 30 trait reports. These reports are often irrelevant, meaningless and confusing. At Ancestral Legacy, we offer over 65 relevant, meaningful and interesting trait reports, including both polygenic and monogenic insights, using our state of the art polygenic probability predictors, and research informed monogenic analyses. We present these in a clear, informative and easy to understand manner. The majority of the trait reports we offer are not offered by any other large providers. The amount of trait reports we offer is ever-expanding, so you can be certain you'll come back for more.
Haplogroup Reports Ancestral Legacy offers detailed and affordable reports on your paternal (Y-DNA) and maternal (Mitochondrial DNA) haplogroups using research informed algorithms to pinpoint your clade and subclade as accurately as possible. As well as this, we provide an overview of your paternal and/or maternal haplogroup's history, including its migrations and areas of highest frequency. Most services do not provide any haplogroup reports, and those which do usually have exorbitant prices (some as high as 449$) and are unclear, uninformative and confusing. At Ancestral Legacy, we present our detailed and affordable haplogroup reports in a clear, easy to understand and informative manner.
DNA Match Reports Ancestral Legacy compares your DNA to a database of over 2 million individuals to identify your genetic relatives. We provide you with your closest DNA matches, reporting (in centimorgans) the total amount of autosomal DNA you share, the largest segment of autosomal DNA you share, the overlap between you and your matches and your potential relationship to your matches.
