The following is from an Ancestry media release.
Today, Ancestry® announced their latest update to AncestryDNA® ethnicity estimates. This update was made possible thanks to an increase in the AncestryDNA reference panel. The reference panel is now more than double its previous size with samples from more places around the world, allowing Ancestry to determine ethnic breakdowns with a higher degree of precision. New ethnicity estimates will roll out to new and existing customers over several months, resulting in these potential developments for customers:
New Ethnicity Regions: For example, AncestryDNA went from 2 to 11 ethnicity regions in the Americas--an unprecedented industry improvement. New regions include Indigenous Eastern South America, Indigenous Cuba, and Indigenous Americas--Mexico, among others.
More Global Regions: This advancement will enable AncestryDNA to deliver even more regions globally to enhance the experience across diverse populations including improvements and region realignment in West Africa, northwestern Europe, the Americas, Oceania, and South Asia.
