Are you an Einstein? Do you and Einstein share the same genes? Find out for free!

Albert Einstein's genes played a large role in who he was, just as they do for all of us. Now you can find out if you have genes in common with one of the most intelligent people to have ever lived. The answer may surprise you!

This DNA analysis app compares your genes to Albert Einstein's genes and determines if you're likely related.

The Einstein family tree has a lot of branches and there are many distant relatives who are related to Einstein but don't know it.

Could you possibly share the same genes as Einstein? Find out now with this free app.

What are Maternal and Paternal Haplogroups?

This app is based on the science of genetic genealogy.

The analysis to determine if you're related to Albert Einstein is based on evaluating maternal inheritance patterns using mitochondrial DNA data, paternal inheritance patterns using Y chromosome DNA data, and the more general autosomal inheritance pattern using autosomal DNA data.

Maternal Haplogroups

Maternal haplogroups are determined by analyzing DNA data on the mitochondrial chromosome, also known as the MT or M chromosome. The mitochondrial chromosome is passed from mother to child with little genetic change. The different versions are known as maternal haplogroups and are assigned different letters of the alphabet.

Paternal Haplogroups

Paternal haplogroups are determined by analyzing DNA data on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed from father to son with little genetic change. The different versions are known as paternal haplogroups and are assigned different letters of the alphabet.

Autosomal DNA

Autosomal DNA refers to chromosomes 1-22. One copy of each of these chromosomes is inherited from the mother and one copy from the father. Because of this, our autosomal DNA is a mixture of DNA from our parents. This mixture of autosomal DNA can also be used to determine details about recent ancestors from several generations ago.
