Ever looked at DNA ethnicity results, seen a tiny 1% region, and wondered if it’s real or just noise?

Why do testing companies disagree? What does a 1% region really mean?
How far back do percentages go? Can uploading your DNA elsewhere change results?

See how origin estimates actually work in plain language anyone can understand and why companies give different answers. Understand how to separate real clues from statistical noise.

Learn practical checks you can run yourself:
• Compare results across companies
• Look at reference panels and company accuracy
• Use chromosome paintings and DNA matches to evaluate clues

Bring your questions. Live Q&A included.
