Ancestry Testing (Disclaimer)Updated 20 days ago

At CircleDNA, our ancestry insights are based on autosomal DNA analysis, which examines DNA inherited from both your mother and father, providing a comprehensive view of your recent genetic ancestry across various global populations. You can find a general overview of our DNA testing technology on the CircleDNA Technology page.

Important to Note:

Our test does not include Y-DNA or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup analysis—these require specialized tests focusing specifically on paternal or maternal lineage and are not part of our current platform. Instead, our ancestry report offers a broad overview of your genetic background using autosomal markers. For details about our reports, you can browse the DNA Reports section of our site.

At CircleDNA, we aim for accuracy and full transparency so you know what to expect from your ancestry results. For any other questions, our Help Center is always available.
