What is a DNA Test and how does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DNA tests <\/strong>have become a essential tool to know our roots<\/strong>our predisposition to certain diseases <\/strong>and to receive customized recommendations<\/strong> in terms of nutrition and lifestyle. In this article, we compare the best DNA tests<\/strong> available on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Companies such as ADNTRO, 23andMe, MyHeritage, TellmeGen, Ancestry and a few others base their analysis on genotyping technologies, <\/strong>and offer direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests, which determine the differences in genetic complement by comparing the positions of DNA<\/a> with that of another sample or a reference sequence. It identifies small variations in genetic sequence within populations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A DNA array is needed for genotyping. On this array are the probes that have the complementary sequence of each polymorphism. The number of genetic variants analyzed changes according to the type or DNA microarray. At ADNTRO we analyze 700,000 polymorphisms<\/strong> (SNPs) of your DNA by using the \"Global Screening Array (GSA)<\/strong>The Illumina company's genetic algorithms allow us to impute your results and analyze up to 20M markers. By analyzing those genetic variants, we can provide a polygenic risk score that indicates predispositions in many subjects such as genetic predisposition to complex diseases<\/a>The active ingredient of medical drugs can be metabolized, beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main DNA Testing Companies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We will go over the different characteristics of each one, analyzing the available reports<\/strong>its purchase options and prices<\/strong>if it is possible to load Raw data from other companies<\/strong>whether they offer other services and the way in which the information is presented (design and user experience<\/strong>). At the end of the article, you will find a comparative table summarizing what each company has to offer<\/strong> so you can choose the best DNA test for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADNTRO GENETICS <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ADNTRO<\/strong><\/a> is a Spanish company, founded in 2020. We base the analysis on Y-DNA (Y Chromosome), mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA), really important to identify haplogroups, and autosomal DNA testing using GSA Array technology from Illumina, that extracts 700,000 markers and with the support of genetic algorithms impute to analyze up to 20M markers that let us provide accurate information about predisposition in many areas.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
