At the edges of memory,
ancestry becomes uncertain—
and that is where exploration begins.

Not every region of your genome yields its secrets easily. Some segments have fewer data points for analysis—not because something is wrong, but because this is how inheritance works at the deepest levels.

Think of it like an ancient map, where the known world ends and the notation simply reads: "Here, we are still learning." The story is real. The ancestry is real. We are simply honest about what can be seen clearly and what remains at the edges of current knowledge.

Low coverage is not absence. It is the boundary between what science has charted and what it continues to explore.

There is something remarkable about low coverage regions: they are often the oldest, most conserved parts of the genome. What standard analyses skip, we examine with care.

Near the centromeres—the structural hearts of chromosomes—lie patterns that have persisted for extraordinary spans of time. These regions resist change. They resist clear reading. But they also carry ancestry signals that have survived where others have been overwritten.

This is why we created the Low Coverage Regions report. Not to apologize for uncertainty, but to explore it. To ask what these quiet, ancient regions might reveal about the deepest layers of your ancestry.

Low coverage regions are a normal part of genetic ancestry analysis. Most people's reports have some areas where information is limited. This does not make your results less valuable—it makes them honest.

We could hide uncertainty. We could present every region as if it were equally clear. Instead, we share the boundaries of knowledge with you—because trust matters more than appearing perfect.
