Russian Scientists Unveil DNA Test for Ancestry, Nutrition, and Longevity

Developed in Novosibirsk, this domestically produced DNA test uses fully Russian reagents and delivers results in 45 days—faster than most global competitors.

At the international Startup Village 2025 conference, researchers from Novosibirsk introduced a cutting-edge DNA test developed entirely in Russia. Using homegrown reagents, the test offers detailed insights into a person's genetic ancestry, ethnic roots, and migration history. It also provides personalized recommendations for nutrition, wellness, and even skincare.

The locally manufactured reagents are a key breakthrough, replacing imported components in high-tech medical diagnostics. Compared to similar offerings, the Russian DNA test delivers results in just 45 days—significantly faster than the months-long timelines seen elsewhere.

Scientists believe the test has major potential not only in genealogy and health optimization but also in future applications like biobanking and new medical diagnostic platforms.
