Guides and insights on DNA testing, ancestry, and health genetics in India.

Who were the Aryans? A genetics perspective

Explore the true Indo-Aryan origin from a genetics perspective. Discover how ancient DNA reveals the migrations and lineage of early Indo-Iranian speakers

Who are the ancestors of Indians?

Genetics, archaeology, and history reveal the ancient origins of Indians, showing how AASI, Indus Valley, and Steppe populations mixed to form present-day South Asian diversity.

PRS: The Science of Predicting Future Predispositions with Genetics

Could your genes reveal something about your future health? Discover how polygenic risk scores (PRS) combine information from many genetic variants to estimate disease predisposition, why ancestry matters, and how genetic risk insights may support informed health decisions. Copy excerpt

DNA Testing in India

Explore DNA testing in India, including ancestry, health, Whole Genome Sequencing, microarray testing, raw DNA data, and how to choose a test.

Is Imputation a Guess Work? the Science of Improving of DNA Test

Genotype imputation is a computational method used to estimate missing genetic variants using known genotypes and reference panels. Learn how genotype imputation works, how accurate imputed genotypes can be, and what factors affect reliability.

What Is Whole Genome Sequencing? Understanding WGS Coverage

Genotyping and whole genome sequencing (WGS) are two different approaches to understanding genetic information. While genotyping examines selected genetic markers, WGS provides much broader sequence data across the genome. This guide explains their key differences, applications, and the type of genetic information each approach can provide.

Whole Genome Sequencing vs Whole Exome Sequencing: What’s the Difference?

Whole genome sequencing and whole exome sequencing both provide detailed genetic information, but they look at different parts of your DNA. Learn how WGS and WES work, what each can reveal, their differences in coverage, and which approach may suit different genetic research and testing needs.

Why Do You Want to Do a DNA Test? Ancestry, Health & Ancient Origins

Have you ever wondered where your ancestors came from, whether you have genetic relatives, or what your DNA can reveal about your health and traits? Learn why people take DNA tests, what genetic testing can tell you, and what to consider before testing.
