Previously scientists have only been able to locate where your DNA was formed to within 700km, which in Europe could be two countries away, however this pioneering technique has been 98 per cent successful in locating worldwide populations to their right geographic regions, and often down to their village or island of origin.
The technology relies on genetic admixture which occurs when people from different populations start interbreeding and creating new gene pools that represent a mixture of the founder pools. This happened a lot in history, basically whenever someone moves to a new place and starts mixing with the locals. The resulting blend of traits can be used to gauge the distance from home.
The DNA GPS breakthrough has significant implications for life-saving medical research, advancing forensic science and for the study of populations whose ancestral origins are under debate, such as African Americans, Roma gypsies and European Jews. It also has tremendous potential for helping adoptees identify their roots, missing children to be returned to their country of origin and in the combat of human trafficking.
When the test becomes available you will be able to have your autosomal DNA genotyped and run through the GPS programme which will produce GPS coordinates in text and on a map, showing the point where your DNA originated.
