Antes de comprar, en qué consiste un test genético:
El secuenciar nuestro ADN es bastante caro. Estas empresas no secuencian, si no que buscan marcadores o ausencias de marcadores de otros ya secuenciados (más rápido y barato). Su virtud (precio) es su defecto. Al estipular unos marcadores genéticos propios, esta compañia los ha orientado a un público estadounidense. ¿que quiere decir? que para que a un yanki le salga que tiene ascendencia española, se ha generalizado el subgrupo "íberico".
Para nosotros, ese "íberico" no tiene ningún valor, puesto que nuestra ascendencia es más compleja y no sale reflejada en estos test's. Si eres español, vas a ver como tus marcadores son mayoritariamente iberico. Yo tengo rasgos claramente nortafricanos, pero en mi secuencia solo me aparece un 2'6% nortafricana y un 90% iberico. ¿quiere decir esto que la mayoria de mis ancestros son iberos? Ni mucho menos, lo que quiere decir el subgrupo "iberico" es mucho mas divisible y se ha simplificado para el mercado yanki.
En cuanto a buscadores de parientes: El sistema es un poco malo y casi privatizado. Si quieres accecer a determinada información, tienes que pagar una cuota anual (cuando estas cosas en 15 dias ya las tendrias solucionadas, pero te obligan a contratar un año). La gente que coincide contigo geneticamente es muy posible que haya hecho el test, lo haya visto, y no se vaya a meter en la cuenta nunca mas, por lo que el contactar con ellos es una tarea complicada.
El peligro: Estas empresas no te ofrecen nada de privacidad. Se han dado casos (y muchos) de empresas que mas tarde han vendido todos sus datos a empresas farmaceuticas (con estos entregamos nuestro ADN, y de ahí, se puede extraer mucha informacion, como las posibilidades de desarrollar diabetes, problemas de corazon, etc... informaciones muy jugosas para gente que se dedica a vender fármacos). El precio de este test, es básicamente a precio de coste. El negocio no lo están haciendo al vender los test, si no al crear un big data. Pensar dos veces antes de comprar. A mi, no me mereció la pena.

Ethnicity EstimateYour ethnicity estimate is a breakdown of ethnic regions based on the DNA that you’ve inherited from your ancestors. MyHeritage analyzes your ancestral roots in great depth to provide you with the most diverse percentage-based ethnicity breakdown, which includes 42 different ethnicities from around the world — more than any other DNA test. Your results are presented in an original, engaging format that’s fun to watch and share. Perhaps your ethnicity breakdown is exactly as you thought — or maybe you’ll discover unexpected surprises. |
DNA MatchesMyHeritage DNA finds you new relatives, by matching your DNA to the DNA of others. You are likely to discover new relatives you’ve never met before! Our DNA Matching technology reveals the percentage of DNA you share with your matches, showing you just how closely related you are.

MyHeritage offers the best tools, such as the One-to-Many Chromosome Browser, to help you determine exactly how you are related to your DNA Matches and make the most of your new discoveries. |

What will I learn?
MyHeritage DNA reveals your ancestors' origins from among 42 ethnicities, including Scottish Irish and Welsh, Italian, Japanese, and many others. Your full ethnicity percentage breakdown is presented in a beautiful, interactive 3D map along with original tunes of your ancestors’ ethnic regions — making it fun to watch and perfect for sharing on social media.
Along with your Ethnicity Estimate, you will also receive a constantly updated list of DNA Matches from around the world — people whose DNA matches yours and are related to you. Your matches, from both your mother’s and father’s side, will include information about your shared genetic sequences, and identify your estimated relationship. As MyHeritage DNA is the market leader in Europe, you will have better chances of getting DNA Matches and finding relatives in Europe than with any other DNA service.
Are there extra costs?
Your kit payment covers your Ethnicity Estimate and DNA Matches. You can contact your DNA Matches for free and access the MyHeritage One-to-Many Chromosome Browser for free. Viewing shared ancestral surnames is also free.
Viewing family trees of your DNA Matches or accessing the 9 billion historical records that are found on MyHeritage is optional and requires a paid subscription plan. Some advanced features in the DNA Match review also require a subscription, such as viewing matches and ethnicities that you share with your DNA Matches.
Should I test family members?
Yes. Purchasing MyHeritage DNA kits for additional family members is recommended. Testing one or both parents allows you to obtain additional information about your DNA Matches. For example, you’ll be able to find out whether any match is from your mother’s or father’s side. Because genetic inheritance is random, your brothers and sisters may get different ethnicity results than you do, and it is fascinating and fun to compare your results.
What type of sample is needed?
The MyHeritage DNA test kit is a simple cheek swab — no spit or blood is necessary. To collect your sample, you simply scrape the inside of your cheek with a swab for about 45 seconds. You then place the swab into a vial and mail it to our U.S.-based DNA lab for analysis.
