DNA Testing Glossary
- Ancestral
- Ancestral refers to something inherited from a person’s ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.). In genetic terms, it refers to characteristics passed down through a bloodline. These characteristics can manifest themselves in physical appearance, as well as in predispositions to certain mental and physical health related issues. Ancestral DNA testing can be useful in determining a person's genetic heritage.
