HOW ACCURATE IS ANCESTRAL DNA TESTING?
I did some ancestral dna testing to confirm what i found during my genealogy research of my family. I have ancestors from almost every country you could possibly think of. I didn’t think people mixed like that back in those days.
All of our ancestors were nomads at one time. There have been numerous boundary changes in countries. Some countries in Europe did not exist until after WW1. German and Italy were not nations until the end of the 19th century. A country like England has been invaded and conquered by many people, Celtic, Romans, Germanic Angles,Saxons and Jutes, Danes and French speaking Normans. Now if you only had your Mitochondrial, it represents a very tiny part of your ancestry. If you get back to your 6xgreat grandparents, barring any duplicates, you are directly descended from 510 individuals. Of those 510 you get your Mitochondrial from only 8 leaving out 502 people. If you were a male you could get your Y done and would get it from only 8 people leaving out all total 494.
Most of your DNA is Autosomal but using Autosomal is very complicated in family history. It is used to determine the paternity of a female and also there is a company that uses it to match you with population groups throughout the world.
You get 23 chromosomes each from both parents. One each that determine a person’s sex has the Y & Mitochondrial. They are used in genealogy to match people with other family trees as they both go back in a straight line virtually unchanged.
However, your other 22 chromosomes each are made up of your Autosomal DNA which pretty much defines your genetic background. You get it 50-50 from both parents but when you get back to your grandparents, then it starts to vary. You get 50% from your paternal grandparents and 50% from your maternal grandparents but it will be bias in favor of your grandmother or grandfather in both cases. How this bias lands in you will vary with your other siblings unless you have an identical twin. Your appearance such as pigmentation, height, bone structure comes from your Autosomal DNA.

Neova DNA Total Repair $99 DNA Total Repair offers the most advanced and powerful therapeutic intervention for UV-induced DNA damage. DNA Total Repair is formulated with three repair enzymes —Photolysomes, Endosomes and Mitosomes—all liposome encapsulated.  The liposome delivery system has been specifically engineered for the transference of DNA repair enzymes across the stratum corneum and into the epidermal cells to enhance DNA repair of UV irradiated skin.   Damaged DNA triggers a cascade of events, starting with stress signals and advancing through the stages of DNA repair. These events are repeated with each sun exposure, whether or not sunburn forms. After decades of similar damage-and-response cycles, discolorations, wrinkles and other signs of photodamage develop; therefore, repair and removal of sun-induced DNA damage is key for defense. • Speeds recovery from previous sun-inflicted DNA damage. • Intensifies the skin’s ability to self-correct to resist future photodamage. • Diminishes the visible signs of DNA damage, such as fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations. • Reduces the appearance of post-sunburn peeling.  RECOMMENDED for all skin types, especially photodamaged skin. Directions: Apply to affected areas twice a day after cleansing. Follow with moisturizer, in addition to SPF protection after morning application. Net Weight: 1.7 oz./50 ml Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Saccharide Isomerate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Pentylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Squalane, Evodia Rutaecarpa Fruit Extract, Micrococcus Lysate, Plankton Extract, Arabidopsis Extract, Ergothioneine, Algae Extract, Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Cassia Alata Leaf Extract, Buddleja Davidii Extract, Pinus Pinaster, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Panthenol, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Lecithin, Glycerin, Diglycerin, Polysorbate 60, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Camphor, Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol. |
