• A personalised map depicting your maternal ancestors’ journey and where they initially settled in the ancient world;
• Your mtDNA raw data, listing the differences between your sequence and that of the revised Cambridge Reference Sequence;
• Facts about your maternal haplogroup, including which parts of the world you can find your “genetic cousins” and famous people who share the same haplogroup as you do.
