The Family Tree

FamilyTreeDNA, a division of Gene by Gene, is a pioneer in the field of genetic genealogy and consumer genomics. Founded in 2000, the company was the first to offer direct-to-consumer DNA testing for ancestry purposes and has since expanded into health-related genetic testing and pharmacogenomics. Operating its own state-of-the-art Genomics Research Center in Houston, Texas, the company provides a wide array of tests including Y-DNA, mtDNA, and autosomal DNA analysis. In 2021, the company merged with myDNA to further integrate personalized health insights and pharmacogenomic data into its offerings. FamilyTreeDNA is recognized for maintaining one of the world's largest and most comprehensive genetic databases for genealogical research.
