DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

terry, the best description is from the DNAP website:

"DNAPrintTM's genealogy product, ANCESTRYbyDNATM 2.0, determines genetic heritage and is a great tool for those individuals or groups interested in learning their ancestry and lineage. We have identified sequences of DNA that are more prevalent in people from one continent than another. Using complex statistical algorithms, the test can determine with confidence to which of the major bio-geographical ancestry groups, Sub -Saharan African, Indo European, East Asian or Native American, a person belongs, as well as the relative percentages in cases of admixed peoples."

"We are currently developing ANCESTRYbyDNATM2.5 and 3.0. The 2.5 version will increase the sensitivity of the current 2.0 version while 3.0 will expand the resolution of ANCESTRYbyDNATM 2.0 by including the inference of intra-continental population affiliations and proportionality. The current ANCESTRYbyDNATM 2.0 can predict mixture of continental origin, but cannot predict mixtures of intra-continental ancestral composition. For example, ANCESTRYbyDNATM 2.0 might indicate that someone is of 100% Indo European descent, while ANCESTRYbyDNATM3.0 might indicate that someone is 60% Northern European and 40% Middle Eastern. If proven successful, ANCESTRYbyDNATM 3.0 will provide added accuracy and will have broad application in the genealogy as well as the forensic market."
