I had my Autosomal DNA tested through Ancestry. Ancestry DNA has a section called trace regions. Ancestry states made this statement about trace regions:
"These are regions where you seem to have just a trace amount of genetic ethnicity — there is only a small amount of evidence supporting the regions as part of your genetic ethnicity. Because both the estimated amount and the range of the estimate are small, it is possible that these regions appear by chance and are not actually part of your genetic ethnicity".
From what others stated most people don't pay that much attention to these regions. I've read that Autosomal results less 3% or less can be consider noise. I was wondering what others think of these minute percentages?
