Chromosome Painting – A Portrait of You in Your DNA

Leonardo Da Vinci would have loved this interplay of science and art. Using a vivid palette of bright color, we indicate the segments of your chromosomes that map to reference genomes from across the globe.You can sign up at the TribeCode community to browse the DNA Ancestry results of a diverse group of people, representing European, Native American, African, Asian, European Jew, and many more populations.

Maternal Lineage – Discover Your Mitochondrial Eve

Mitochondrial DNA is passed from mothers to children of both sexes. Your great grandmother passed it to your grandmother who passed it to your mother who passed it to you. By studying your mtDNA we can trace your maternal line back to Africa where the common “Lucky Mother” lived 200,000 years ago.

Maternal Timeline – Your Maternal TribeLine™

Like new words entered into a dictionary, over time variations arise in mitochondrial DNA. We find the variations in your mtDNA sequence and match them to tribes from long ago.

Paternal Lineage – Discover Your Y Chromosome Adam

Analogous to Mitochondrial Eve, the Y chromosome is passed along to the male members of the family, from great grandfather to grandfather to father to you. Women can learn about their paternal lineage from fathers, uncles, or brothers DNA ancestry results.

Jewish Ancestry – Celebrate Your Ancestry

If you suspect that you have Jewish genetic heritage, TribeCode can determine what percent of your DNA matches the Jewish reference data in our database.
