If you have wondered what your ethnic background is, you can find out by taking a MyHeritage DNA test. Your results will include an Ethnicity Estimate: a percentage-based breakdown of your ethnic origins as indicated by your DNA results.

The MyHeritage DNA kit is an autosomal DNA test for genetic genealogy that discovers your relatives by matching you to millions of people who tested their DNA with MyHeritage. This test also provides a percentage-based ethnicity breakdown, based on 42 ethnic regions around the world.

MyHeritage was founded in 2003 by Israeli entrepreneur Gilad Japhet (who continues to serve as the company's CEO). Japhet started the company from his living room in Bnei Atarot, Israel. For a long time, the company's headquarters were located in a family farmhouse in Bnei Atarot.

Genetic ancestry is based upon a person's DNA, which can be traced back to the genetic sequences of their ancestors. So, if a person's ancestry report says they are 34% East Asian, then that means that person has genetic DNA most similar to the population of many of the people living in that geographic location now.

MyHeritage scores 3 out of 5 stars in our comprehensive review. While MyHeritage's DNA test provides autosomal genetic data and a wide range of genetic genealogy tools, their DNA test misses out on important ancestry and health data from the mitochondrial chromosome and Y chromosome.

Genetic ancestry testing involves the comparison of a large number of DNA variants measured in an individual with the frequencies of these variants in reference populations sampled from across the world.

A DNA test (genetic testing) is a medical test that can identify mutations in your genes, chromosomes or proteins. These mutations can indicate if you have or don't have a genetic condition. DNA tests can also identify your risk for developing a certain condition or passing on a genetic disorder.

There are three main types of DNA tests on the market: Y-chromosome (or Y-DNA), mitochondrial (or mtDNA), and autosomal. Each test produces different information. Ancestry® offers only the autosomal DNA test, which produces the most comprehensive snapshot of one's ethnicity and living relatives.
