Compiles the history of the mitochondrial DNA passed to you by your mother, using the results you already have from testing at another laboratory. We use scores from one or both of the control regions known as HVRI and HVRII.

The "mutations" defining your maternal lineage (the DNA of your mother, her mother and so forth, all the way back) are researched in a standard article on mitochondrial ancestry, the Cambridge Mitochondrial DNA Concordance, Mitosearch and other databases. A history of your particular female lineage is assembled, with comparative frequencies in world populations.

Your report is delivered to you by email within about another week. It includes: 

• Comparison of your mitochondrial DNA with others' from studies published in databases
• Confirmation on whether your mitochondrial lineage is Eurasian, Native American, Asian or African
• History and description of your particular female lineage (haplotype)
• References
• FAQs and complete access to our Learning Center
• Hyperlinked terms for easy lookup online
• One-click access to websites mentioned in your report
• Unlimited help online and by email or phone so that you can understand and use your ancestry report
• Instructions how to enter your DNA results into relevant databases, if you so choose
• Our free DNA-in-the-news newsletter, if you wish to subscribe to it
