ADDITIONAL TESTING REQUIRED

Your sample has completed the DNA analysis phase of testing. However, during quality control your initial results failed to clearly indicate your haplogroup. We must perform additional testing to accurately determine your deep ancestral lineage. This is not uncommon, but will delay the posting of your results by two to three weeks.  

We appreciate your patience. Please also note that this delay is a sign of the Project's success in increasing the diversity of samples in our database.

If we find that there is a problem at any point during the processing of your sample, you will receive an updated message when you log in to check your status.

Als je in een hospitaal terechtkomt en een operatie moet ondergaan of er wordt lichaamsvocht afgenomen zit je ook ergens met het risico dat je dna-profiel wordt bewaard.

This test will reveal the migratory history of your deep ancestry. You will be able to learn about the different regions that your deep ancestors crossed around the world and how long ago this journey took place. The genetic tests to be performed do not tell you anything about your health or about any health problems you (or your family) may have. These tests are part of a study designed solely to discover what migratory routes your deep ancestors followed. [...]

When you access the results on the website you will be invited to participate in a major global effort to collect population genetic data from more than 200,000 individuals from around the world. If you agree to participate, the genetic data from your test will be included in our database of global genetic information. Our goal is to understand the relationships among genetic, linguistic, cultural and historical data as we map human migratory history. Participation in the global database is your choice and is not necessary in order to access your individual test results. [...]

We will obtain DNA from the cheek cells collected from the swab brushes. [...] We do not know of any risk to you from taking the cheek brush sample or having your DNA sample analyzed to determine the migratory history of your deep ancestors. The benefits to you from participating in this project will be to learn more about your family origins and your relationships to other people around the world while participating in a real-time research project.

We will keep your cheek cells only for the Genographic Project. Your cells will not be used for any other purpose without your written permission. The genetic tests we wil perform are designed only to research early human origins and movements. [...] This is an anthropological study only. [...] We will discard your cells when the Genographic Project is finished. We are not a gene tissue bank, so we do not have to keep your genetic material for any particular length of time. During the project, you will have the opportunity to contact Family Tree DNA, the company licensed to perform testing for Genographic Project participants, to request follow-up testing. Unless you do so before the conclusion of the project, your cells will be discarded and will not be available for follow-up testing.

The results of our project will be presented on television, the radio, and the Internet and in newspapers, magazines, and other media. Your genetic data will be included only if you agree to have your data included as part of our collective presentation of trends and patterns. If you agree to have your data included, we will not disclose any information that reveals your identity - we do not have the ability to link your personally identifiable information with your genetic data.

National Geographic schreef:De National Geographic Society en IBM werken samen aan een revolutionair onderzoek om de migratiegeschiedenis van de mens in kaart te brengen.

Het Genographic Project zal gebruik maken van complexe laboratorium- en computeranalyses van DNA, die is afgestaan door duizenden mensen, waaronder autochtonen en de gemeenschap, om weer te geven hoe de aarde was bevolkt. National Geographic onderzoeker Spencer Wells, een team internationale wetenschappers en onderzoekers van IBM verzamelen genetische samples, analyseren de resultaten en rapporteren over de genetische wortels van de moderne mens.

 

Met behulp van een donatie van het Waitt Family Foundation hebben de wetenschappers tien centra verspreid over de wereld opgericht. Verwacht wordt dat het project belangrijke details zal onthullen over de menselijke migratiegeschiedenis en de kennis zal vergroten over de connecties en de verschillen van de menselijke soort.  

 

De publieke database zal de grootste collectie menselijke genetische informatie voortbrengen en zal dienen als een unieke informatiebron voor genetici, historici en antropologen.

Het is ook mogelijk voor u om mee te doen aan het Genographic Project door een pakket te bestellen en uw resultaten aan de database toe te laten voegen. U kunt dan het proces van uw eigen migratiegeschiedenis volgen en het globale onderzoek door de website te bezoeken:
