How do we search for your genetic family?

With the main objective of helping to create new connections between relatives around the world, DNA Connect works by following these three steps:

dna-find

Identify

We compare the 750,000 genetic markers we study with the DNA of all our users and detect identical DNA fragments between all pairs of individuals in our database.

dna-calculator

Calculate

We measure the length of each identical DNA fragment found between two users. More distant matches imply shorter lengths while closer matches imply longer lengths.

dna-translate

Translate

We evaluate the length of all these shared DNA fragments with the aim of converting them into a kinship relationship.

Which relationships do we analyze?

The relationships we analyze in DNA Connect and the probability of finding the relationships for each of them are as follows:
