In our search to bring and democratize genomic services, SOMOS offers a genetic test to all public that provides information on global ancestry, but with an important differentiator: ancestry of Latin American groups, which make us the first test in offering this kind of information . Knowledge of genetic ancestry provides information about origins at individual and population level. In addition to discover the evolutionary history, considering the genetic structure of different populations has a great impact in the biomedical area, since it is vital to clarify the relationships between variants in the genome and diseases. Throughout the history of humanity, ancestral populations have left a genetic trace that provides characteristics or information of their place of origin. With this information it is possible to estimate the contribution of each ancestral group to the composition of the genome, both globally and within the Latin American diversity. In SOMOS we are aware that the Mexican population has a very varied genetic mix as a consequence of miscegenation in the period of the conquest and for all the continuous migration that the country has received by European, Latinamericans, etc. That is why our test uses references of panels populations from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, indigenous populations from the north and center of the country, as well as from South America, so it is possible to estimate proportions of ancestry specific to the Mexican population. Our team is integrated by Mexican scientists and professionals committed to society to the development of genomic solutions specialized in the Mexican population, always seeking the recovery and integration of the roots, culture and traditions of ethnic groups.
