A New Era in Ancestry Testing as MyHeritage Launches Low-Pass Whole Genome Sequencing
MyHeritage’s new low-pass whole genome sequencing (WGS) test goes beyond standard genotyping to cover more of your DNA for genealogical insights. Learn how this first-of-its-kind ancestry test differs from medical-grade WGS, its pros and limits, and why personal choice matters when deciding whether to retest or explore new DNA technology. Book a session with Watershed DNA to decide on testing.
