DNAPrint: BioGeographical Ancestry (BGA) Test Results for Malcolm Dodd

(www.roperld.com)

The BGA test determines the probable fractions of one's ancestry that are Indo-European (European, Middle Eastern and South Asian), Native American (South and North American), sub-Saharan African (all African countries but Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia) and East Asian (Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific).

Results for Malcolm Dodd:
Ancestry Estimate
Indo-European 75%
East-Asian 25%
Native-American 0%

The first contour (black line) around your BGA result delimits the space outside of which the points are 2 times less likely, and the second contour (blue line) delimits the space outside of which the estimates are 5 times less likely. The third contour (yellow line) delimits the space outside of which the estimates are 10 times less likely than your result.
Malcolm Dodd's comments about this result: The BGA test determines the probable fractions of one's ancestry that are Indo-European, Native American, sub-Saharan African and East Asian (Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific). The yellow circle (10X contour) is also referred to as the "one-log interval" and is taken generally taken as a scientific level of confidence. Therefore my yellow line is the result to take note of. It indicates anything between a) 45% Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific / 0% Native American /55% European b) 0% Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific / 33% Native American / 67% European c) 4% Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific / 0% Native American /96% European. Since my mother is 100% European but I know nothing of my father should I look for a 90% Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific man or a 66% Native American man? A short answer, please.
A Genotype is the actual building block at one location on your DNA. For instance if, at a certain location, you inherited an 'A' from your mother and a 'C' from your father, your genotype would be 'AC' for that location. (The DNAPrint results do not distinguish paternal-maternal order; i.e., it could be AC or CA.) There are approximately 3,000,000,000 building blocks (base pairs) in the human genome, however only 0.1% of these building blocks are variable from person to person. The BGA test measures the specific genotype at 70 highly informative deep ancestral locations. Genotypes:

There is some slight variation from run to run on how well the analysis works. Some markers do not yield a result (XX). Because of this sometimes a marker is judged failed (FL) during the quality control step. Omitted XX and FL markers are not used in the percentage calculation.
