All right, you probably already know that genetic reports can tell you what genes you have and how they affect you. Plus, they can also shed light on your ancestry. That’s pretty standard stuff.
But have you ever wondered where your genes came from and when they entered your ancestral timeline?
Introducing “TRAIT TRACER”, the coolest kid on the ancestry block.
You can now learn where certain traits come from by looking at your ancestry. With CRI Genetics’ Trait Tracer Report, you can discover which ancestries could have given you some of your genetic traits.
In this article, you’ll learn all about the Ancestry DNA Trait Tracer Report. We will also get into how you can get your hands on it before anyone else and what insights you can get from it. So, let’s dive right in.
What's Included in the Ancestry Trait Tracer Report?
The Trait Tracer essentially sheds light on how your ancestry and traits are connected together. It can tell you all of the following:
- Which ancestry gave you which traits (Ex: Southern Han Chinese)
An estimate of which year(s) each ancestry showed up in your family line (Ex: 1900 A.D.)
Health reports(and traits) connected to each ancestry (Floral Fragrance Detection)
Inherited genes associated with those traits (Ex: the Cell Growth gene)
It’s going to look like this in your customer vault:

How is CRI Genetics Ancestry Trait Tracer Different from the advanced timeline report?
Trait Tracer adds another dimension to your family history. Your Advanced Timeline shows you the where and when of your past, but now, you will also be able to see the traits you inherited from each of your specific ancestries.
Here’s a list of exciting traits you may find nestled alongside their historical context:
- Hunger Control
- Bone Builder
- Immune Superhero
- Alcohol Metabolism
- Joint Cushioning
- Stress Response
It’s a little intriguing, no? Trait Tracer takes you even further than your Advanced Timeline, offering you more insights into the ancestries that led to you, as well as historical context, including what was happening during each era and period.

Can CRI Ancestry DNA Trait Tracer Tell Me the Names or Identities of Certain Relatives?
Unfortunately, no. We don’t do that just yet. Right now, we only identify ancestries in your family line and traits associated with those ancestries.
We know it is disappointing for some people. But on the bright side, our Trait Tracer Report bridges the gap between your ancestry and traits. It offers insights into both your lineage and inherited traits at the same time.
We currently don’t offer family finder services. But don’t let that discourage you though, as there are plenty of illuminating insights to be found within your DNA regardless!
And look at it this way: sometimes it’s good to draw information and inspiration from many sources. The treasures that your ancestors left you may be hard to find, but some of the best things in life are worth searching for.

What's the science behind the trait tracer report?
The Trait Tracer Report is based on a special algorithm developed by Chief Science Officer, Dr. Alexei Fedorov. The culmination of years of genetic research, Trait Tracer gives you a more detailed picture of your Advanced Timeline. This groundbreaking feature lets you see specific genes within your ancestral timeline. These genes are connected to specific traits and ancestries, taking the narrative of your familial past to the next level.
From your DNA Test , we create a measurable timeline that can show you when and where certain ancestries entered your family history. Trait Tracer now allows you to see which traits and genes are connected to different ancestries.
When is the trait tracer going to launch?
Your Trait Tracer Report will be available in your CRI Genetics account on Tuesday, August 15th, at noon PST (3pm EST).
The Early Bird Access List gives you access ONE FULL HOUR beforehand (11am PST, 2pm EST) to check out your Trait Tracer Report before everyone else.
For Early Bird Listers: you will receive a secret link in your email that gives you early access.
