I can’t wait to go to Bioko Island … to have the sun in that part of the region on my body and know that I’m home!

We destroy 100% of your DNA samples. We DO NOT sell or share your genetic information.
how it works?
We each carry in our DNA a series of indicators that provide information about our ancestry. This information is passed from generation to generation and can tell a profound story about where we come from, and highlight our connections to modern-day Africa.
Your DNA
Depending on the test you choose, we analyze either your maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the paternally inherited Y chromosome for men, or the autosomal DNA inherited from both parents. Just a simple cheek swab is all it takes to get started.
Your Family Tree
The genetic information we extract remains consistent throughout every branch of your family tree, creating an unbroken connection through generations. Essentially, we uncover the unique fingerprint that you share with your ancestors, from parents and grandparents to great-grandparents and beyond, along a single lineage.
Your History
By employing groundbreaking genetic scientific techniques, we meticulously examine genetic markers and mutations to unveil the geographical origins of your ancestry. If your genetic makeup points to Africa, we cross-reference it with the extensive database of African lineages to pinpoint the modern-day African country and ethnic group with which you share maternal or paternal heritage.

Why might you receive a result that is not African?
Can I send results from another company's test for analysis?
Yes, if you have Y-chromosome markers and a Y Haplogroup of A, B or E from another company, then your PatriClan Test result will be African. If it is not a Y Haplogroup of A, B or E, then do not take the PatriClan Test. If it is, please click here to submit an Analysis Only request.
Maternal Ancestry ResultsYes, if you have a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence and an mtDNA Haplogroup L from another company, then your MatriClan Test result will be African. If it is not Haplogroup L, then do not take the MatriClan Test. If it is, please click here to submit an Analysis Only request.
Admixture/Autosomal ResultsNo, we cannot use autosomal data from another company. However, please check your results to see if the company gave you an mtDNA haplogroup or Y chromosome haplogroup. We can provide better direction if you have that data. Contact us at info@africanancestry.com.
