How Accurate are DNA Kits used for Testing Ancestry?
Millions of people are purchasing and using home DNA kits to determine their ancestry. The television program Inside Edition
enlisted the help of two sets of identical triplets and one set of
identical quadruplets to investigate the accuracy of the at-home tests.
The ancestry of each group should be absolutely identical since they all
came from the same egg.Test kits from 23andMe, FamilyTree DNA, and AncestryDNA were used.
The results are surprising.
The medical experts were confused and disappointed because of the varied results. Does this indicate that some of our our beliefs about DNA are wrong?
