GPS Origins® Ancestry Testing

Using DNA to Tell Your Ancestors Origin Story

About this test

If you would like get a clear picture of your more recent ancestry and the geographical origins of your DNA, the ancestral GPS Origins™ DNA testing service offers you the chance to get unprecedented insights into your ancestry at a country level. Yes, this highly accurate and cutting-edge ancestry tests will tell you which countries on the world map we know today your ancestors originated from. Italy, Russia, Scotland, Turkey, Israel etc – let us pinpoint where your roots really lie!

How is this ancestry test different?

There are many ancestry tests out there but many just offer a glimpse into your very ancient ancestral origins, showing you the point of origin of your ancient ancestors and their migration patterns. These tests tell you nothing of about the precise geographical location or country but the GPS Origins™ does! Your genetic origin results will show you how your genome is linked to the human story of the populations.

The GPS Origins™ test indicates the country, island, town or village was your ancestors from and it detects where different ancestral cultures or groups met many hundreds of years ago. The result is an exciting and revealing report, which located where your ancestors lived 1000 years back.

How do I take the test?

Taking the test could not be easier. Once we have confirmed your order, we will send out your home sample collection kit. The kit contains everything you need to collect your samples and includes:

Mouth swabs
Instructions
Consent form

Once you have done the kit work, you will need to register on the web page which we provide. Your results will be available for download on the website once your report has been completed.

Ordering your test

You can purchase your kit directly from our website for the price of $189.

Results for this test are ready in 4-6 weeks from receipt of samples.

How does the test work?

As our ancestor migrated and settles in different parts of the world, parts of their DNA changed (through DNA mutations). Many times the many generations of intermarrying between people in the same group or tribe created groups of individuals that shared similarities in their DNA which would not be shared with other groups or tribes. Grouping DNA mutations allows us to distinguish people who came from different parts of the world.

This Autosomal DNA test was developed at University of Sheffield by leading genealogy experts and works by analyzing over 800,000 markers (referred to as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), 36 gene pools and 862 reference populations to give you those specific country connections you are looking for.

Accuracy

The GPS Origins™ ancestry test is highly accurate but the accuracy could be affected by the type of family you come from.

If your parents come from the same country, the test can provide your unique DNA signature correctly 90% of the time. The test is also very accurate if your parents both came from the same geographical region (for example Western Europe). If your parents come from countries which are very far apart, especially from different continents, the results may be less accurate.

Results include:

– Gene Pool Percentages: this shows your top 3 gene pools with changing color intensity depending on your strongest gene pool affiliation. Highly relevant information about the agricultural history and language is also provided to help give you the most comprehensive picture possible.

– DNA migration routes: the migration maps details the paths followed by your ancestors many hundreds or thousands of years back. The map shows point of each migratory path and shows the location of a population that forms a part of your DNA ancestry.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What should I expect to see in my results?

Dynamic online experience featuring an interactive map, allowing you to zoom into your GPS pinpoints—revealing towns and cities
Downloadable PDF report that can be shared with family and friends
Your online and printable results feature:
- Maps of your top three ancestral origins (the gene pools or ancestral communities that contributed to significant portions of your genetic makeup) along with the percentages of DNA you inherited from each
- A comprehensive gene pool profile with DNA percentages that goes well beyond basic ethnicity tests
- A detailed map illustrating your maternal and paternal migration journeys with descriptions on how your ancestors' circumstances changed as they crossed territories and continents to find better lives

+ I am mixed race. What will the GPS Origins test results tell me?

GPS Origins always reports the results for two lineages, which should roughly correspond to the origin of your parents. The test works best for people with DNA from no more than two different places (i.e. people whose parents are from different places but are not themselves mixed).

For people with a more mixed background, (for example, four grandparents from various places across the globe) the test will report the midpoint between the four places. The next generation of this DNA testing for ancestry will reveal the genetic origins for people with significantly mixed genetic backgrounds.

+ How is my personal and DNA information protected?

Customers trust us with their most sensitive genetic information and we take that trust seriously. We do not sell or disseminate your personal, genetic, or contact information.

+ How much does a GPS Origins Ancestry Test cost?

This ancestry test will cost $189.
We will ship the test kit to you for free. The test kit will contain instructions on how to set up your account with our ancestry website. Part of the set up process is the cost of the test. No test will be completed, or results released, without pre-payment.

+ How does this test differ from other ancestry DNA tests ?

Other DNA tests for ancestry provide a limited ethnic composition at a regional or country level. For example, they might indicate 33% East Asian, 40% sub-Saharan African and 27% European.

GPS Origins goes beyond these broad ethnic classifications to identify your ancestral origins to a precise geographic location using an unprecedented number of gene pools and reference populations.

+ What is included in my results?

Your report presents mixture proportions from 41 possible gene pools that cover the whole world as well as the history of the primary gene pools. Your report also shows the geographical origins of your DNA, which could be a country or as close to the nearest town. Your DNA signature was created when two different population groups mixed and created a new genetic signature—the one that you ultimately inherited.

You also see two migration routes for your DNA—one for each side of your family—back to where it came from, which may originate up to 10,000 years ago. Finally, GPS Origins dates the age of your DNA signature corresponding to when it last underwent a substantial change at the population level.

GPS Origins is a great tool to help you research your family tree!

+ HOW FAST CAN I GET MY RESULTS?

The GPS Origins Ancestry Test is an extensive test. The test results will be ready in 6 weeks from receipt at the laboratory. Your results will be uploaded to your account as soon as they are complete.

+ HOW ACCURATE ARE THE TESTS?

Our Lifestyle tests are done to the same standards as our AABB legal testing. Our tests are performed in a fully CAP, A2LA, AABB accredited and ISO 17025/9001 certified laboratory. All of our DNA testing services follow strict and validated procedures for processing samples to guarantee the highest degree of accuracy.

The accuracy depends on your family history. If your parents are from the same place or two different locations, and not mixed themselves, the test can trace your DNA signature back to the country of origin 90% of the time. The test will predict the correct continent.

In a study of people from across the world, the GPS Origins’ algorithm predicted continental origins with 98% accuracy, assigned 83% of the individuals to their country of origin, and, where applicable, 66% of them to their regional locations.

If your ancestors were from Western Europe, and your parents came from the same region, not moving far from the place that they came from, the test will place your DNA signature within 50 miles of its true origin, and often closer.

Your results will show the origin as a point on a map. Any expected error appears as a circle around the point - the smaller the circle, the more accurate the result. The accuracy also depends on the size of the reference population in a given area; the larger the reference group, the more accurate the results will be.

+ How is this test done?

After you receive your test kit by mail you will need to create an account, register your sample kit, collect and mail your sample to the testing labratory.
Sample collection is as easy as using a simple buccal (oral) mouth swab to collect a sample, sending the samples to our laboratory, and within a few weeks the results will be ready to be viewed.

Simply rub the cheek for 30 seconds per swab to collect DNA. This test is not a saliva test, you will not need to spit into a cup.
