These companies are good at estimating the percentage of DNA at a continental level

Somewhat good at a regional level (e.g. Eastern Europe and Northern Europe)

They are not so good at a sub-regional level (e.g. Britain and Ireland) They are also good at estimating percentages for endogmas groups They have difficulty with trace amounts of DNA. Trace amounts may be

significant or not? I found that the results can be around 5 percentage points off I would take results within that 5 percentage points with a grain of salt The ethnicity results may provide you with some information about your
