The world of DNA tests is rapidly advancing. Lots of news and updates in recent weeks. I need to let one of my nephews know about his updates from one company.
MyHeritage has announced “Leveraging cutting-edge sequencing technology from Ultima Genomics and processing at the Gene by Gene lab, MyHeritage is the first major consumer DNA testing company to adopt Whole Genome Sequencing at a scale of more than one million tests per year. The enriched data will empower MyHeritage to deliver more accurate ethnicity analysis and DNA matching, and unlock opportunities for future innovation in consumer genomics and genetic genealogy.” It will work with testing through MyHeritage but not with transfers from other DNA testing sites that were previously allowed.
