From Beringia to the Andes
Compare your DNA with ancient reference individuals from North, Central, and South America. Explore genetic similarity across archaeological contexts and time periods without treating a statistical match as proof of direct descent.
When the ice retreated, humans followed. They crossed Beringia's land bridge and found a world untouched: endless forests, towering mountains, rivers like veins across the earth.
The Paleoindians were the first, Clovis hunters pursuing megafauna across the Great Plains. Over millennia they spread from the Arctic tundra to the tip of Patagonia, adapting to every climate the New World offered, from the deserts of the Southwest to the rainforests of the Amazon.
In Mesoamerica, the Olmec laid the foundations for what would become the greatest civilizations of the Western Hemisphere. The Maya charted the stars with astonishing precision. The Aztecs built Tenochtitlan, a city on a lake that rivalled any in Europe. In the Andes, the Moche crafted gold and ceramics of breathtaking artistry, while the Inca wove together the largest empire in pre-Columbian America.
To the north, the mound builders of Cahokia raised an urban center larger than London. The Ancestral Puebloans carved dwellings into canyon walls. The peoples of the Pacific Northwest built societies of extraordinary cultural wealth. Through every era, the ancient blood endured, carried by generations into the modern peoples of the Americas.

Not just percentages. A guided look at the ancient American reference populations your DNA most resembles.
We scan your autosomal DNA in short segments and compare each one against every ancient Americas genome using identical-by-state (IBS) segment matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.
A panel-specific 0-100 statistical similarity score weighting shared-segment evidence at 50%, ADMIXTURE distance at 31.25%, and Monte Carlo fit at 18.75%. It is not an ancestry percentage or proof of direct descent.
The fixed regional ADMIXTURE reference panel defines stable PCA axes; your kit is projected afterward without moving the reference samples.
See the real archaeological sites where your genetic kin were discovered, from the highlands of Peru to the jungles of the Yucatan.
Your genetic affinity to each American era: Paleoindian, Archaic, Mesoamerican, Andean, North American, and Caribbean, all quantified.
Meet the ancient individual whose DNA resonates most with yours. Learn their story, their era, and their place in American history.
Our AI assistant provides personalized explanations of your results, placing your genetic story in historical and archaeological context.
Discover connections to specific regions: the Yucatan Peninsula, the Andes, Amazonia, the Great Plains, the American Southwest, Patagonia, and more.
Find ancient Americans who share your mtDNA maternal or Y-DNA paternal lineage branch, a shared line of descent rather than a named common ancestor.
Understand whether your roots trace to the earliest Beringia crossers, Pacific coastal migrants, or later population waves within the Americas.
Connect with famous sites like Teotihuacan, Machu Picchu, Cahokia, Monte Verde, Mesa Verde, and Tikal where your matches were found.
Your report includes an interactive map showing the exact archaeological sites across the Americas where your genetic matches were discovered.

Ancient DNA, modern analysis. Advanced algorithms, transparent results.
We scan your autosomal DNA in short segments and compare each one against every ancient Americas genome using identical-by-state (IBS) segment matching, weighting longer, rarer shared segments more heavily.
Advanced ADMIXTURE algorithms compare your genetic profile against reference populations across ancestral components, providing exceptional resolution for Ancient Americas genetic similarity analysis.
The fixed regional ADMIXTURE reference panel defines stable PCA axes; your kit is projected afterward without moving the reference samples.
Your Ancient Americas Index is a panel-specific statistical similarity score weighting shared-segment evidence at 50%, ADMIXTURE distance at 31.25%, and Monte Carlo fit at 18.75%. It is not an ancestry percentage or proof of direct descent.
Our Americas reference panel includes samples from Mesoamerica, the Andes, North America, and the Caribbean, spanning over 15,000 years of human history.
All ancient DNA samples come from peer-reviewed academic publications, with full citations and links provided in your report. Science you can trust.

DNA Genics has been building ancestry and DNA analysis reports since 2018. Our reports come from years of work with our own reference panels, calculators and ancient-genome comparisons, developed and reviewed by our team. They are not generated on the fly or assembled as a side project. We use AI only in clearly labelled optional features.

Real, verified reviews from people who have explored their genetic similarity with DNAGENICS
Great reports like the "Human Leukocyte Antigen" Report. The Deep Ancient Reports with Samples are very helpful to understand the Results and own Heritage. I like the Admixture Studio and the powerful G25 Studio.
DNAGenics is an excellent company. It provides necessary services for those of us who need help understanding and working with complex genetic information. They are efficient in their communications. I recommend them without hesitation.
Excellent company with helpful customer support that always respond very quickly. There are always new features and the purchase packs include a lot of admixture reports and G25 coordinates. Highly recommend.
