Science Buddies: Trace Your Ancient Ancestry Through Dna

Curated by ACT

In this science project, you will investigate the secrets of your distant past as revealed by your DNA. In order to obtain a sample for DNA analysis, you will scrape a soft swab inside your mouth to collect cheek cells. Based on the genetic markers in your DNA, the ancient clan that your ancestors belonged to will be identified. The resources you receive will introduce you to your ancient ancestors and allow you to explore their migrations.
