Genetic Odyssey is a leading Genetic Geneology company. The company believes in unified Vedic concept “Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam” which translates though we are living apart we are inter-connected with each other. "Vasudhaiva" means "the entire earth' and 'Kutumbkam' means the "family.'Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam' literally means “The World is one family”. Recently, genetic studies have proved that we humans are all members of one closely related family with a common genetic ancestor.

Trace your genetic odyssey and discover your relatives. Connect with people and their journey around the world through genetics, exploring lands and cultures you inherited through your mother.

Human cells contain DNA in the nucleus and in the mitochondria, called the power house of the cells. DNA present in the mitochondria is exclusively inherited from the mother. Because of selective maternal transmission, mitochondrial DNA sequences can be used to
• identify our maternal ancestors and
• trace human migration around the world.
