Why do the surveys cover so many topics?

Discover why MyHeritage surveys span such a wide range of topics and how broad data collection leads to more meaningful genetic research discoveries

Genetics influences far more than just health and physical traits — it can also play a role in behavior, personality, preferences, and even cultural tendencies. To explore these connections, we need to gather information across a wide range of topics.

The broad scope also allows us to compare genetic and non-genetic factors. For example, we want to understand whether your age, location, or upbringing influences your hobbies more than your DNA does. The wider the range of data we collect, the richer and more meaningful our research can be.
