Here's How it Works


01.
We collect your DNA using a painless cheek swab (or we can use an existing ancestry test if you have one).

02.
We sequence your DNA to determine your mt DNA Haplogroup. This group represents your maternal ancestry.

03.
Your sequenced DNA gives us a string of numbers and letters that represent gene sequences. This string of letters and numbers is combined with your personal serial number to create a unique website address.

04.
Your unique web address is programmed into a 2D barcode generator.

05.
Your unique 2D barcode is transformed into a custom canvas using your selected color choices.

06.
A personalized website is created that links to your custom 2D barcode artwork.

07.
Scanning your personal 2D barcode will direct you to your unique ancestry page on DNA11.com.
Take a picture of your DNA Ancestry Portrait™ and it takes you to your page!

FAQs

Q: I’m concerned about privacy, what does my DNA Ancestry Portrait reveal about me?

A: Your DNA Ancestry Portrait only reveals your maternal lineage dating back thousands of years. Essentially where your earliest ancestors originated in the early days of humanity. Your DNA Ancestry Portrait does not revel anything about your recent maternal or paternal history (who your parents are, your race, etc.).

Q: Is my art piece unique?

A: Yes, every art piece is a one-of-a-kind original. By combining your personal order ID with the sequence of letters and numbers that represent mutations in your mtDNA sequence, we create a personal code that is unique to each individual.

Q: How long does it take to receive a DNA Ancestry Portrait?

A: Personalized DNA Ancestry Portraits take a little extra time due to the process required to sequence your DNA. First we send you out a DNA collection kit which you must them use to collect your DNA sample and return to us. We then send your sample to the lab for sequencing. Once we receive your mtDNA data we create your personalized 2D barcode and apply it to canvas using your choice of colors. We then ship your personal DNA Ancestry Portrait to you. The entire takes about 6-8 weeks

Q: Can I give one as a gift?

A: Yes, the easiest way is to purchase a DNA Ancestry Portrait Gift Kit which gives you something to wrap up and present to the gift receiver.

Q: How do I scan my DNA Ancestry Portrait?

A: Using a camera phone or smartphone, download a QR scanner from your device’s app store. Click here to view a list of recommended QR Code scanners for each smartphone platform. Scan your DNA Ancestry Portrait and it will lead you to your Personal Ancestry page on DNA11.com.
