We proudly collaborate with leading DNA genealogy initiatives focused on exploring the deep ancestral origins and genetic histories of Jewish diaspora communities. Through these partnerships, we support research that sheds light on ancient migration patterns, lineage connections, and the shared heritage of diverse Jewish populations. Learn more about the projects we are working with below.
The Mountain Jewish DNA Project is dedicated to uncovering the unique genetic legacy of the Mountain Jews — an ancient Jewish community rooted in the Caucasus region. This project aims to trace their origins, explore potential connections to other Jewish and non-Jewish populations, and document the rich history of this isolated yet deeply rooted group. By analyzing both Y-DNA and mtDNA lineages, the project contributes significantly to our understanding of Jewish diversity and ancient migrations in Eurasia.
The Mizrahi Jewish DNA Project focuses on the genetic research of Mizrahi Jews — communities with ancestral roots in the Middle East and Central Asia. The project investigates the complex genealogical and migratory histories of groups that have preserved their identity across centuries of diaspora. By studying their DNA, the project provides valuable insights into the continuity, dispersion, and interconnections of Mizrahi Jewish populations throughout history.
The Jewish Genetic Discovery Foundation is dedicated to studying the genetic history of Jewish populations worldwide, preserving heritage, and advancing our understanding of human migration patterns.
