Full ancestry kit FAQ's
Living DNA’s ancestry experience is the most advanced in the industry, working to determine not only the countries where your ancestry is from, but where possible, sub-regions within those countries. The result is a DNA kit with the greatest number of DNA-based regions and sub-regions compared to any other in the industry.
We’ve built Living DNA to provide ancestry breakdowns for up to 80 worldwide regions, including 21 sub-regions within the British Isles and counting.
Taking your sample is fast and painless. No eating or drinking an hour before swabbing, except water. Simply swab the inner cheek of your mouth for 45-60 seconds and pop your swab back in the tube, pushing the lid down until it clicks.
At Living DNA we take the job of being custodians of your data very seriously. We’re committed to your privacy and security at all times.
