Living DNA is a DNA testing company which offers an ancestry and wellbeing test. The ancestry test provides a biogeographical ancestry analysis with Y-DNA and mtDNA haplogroup reports combined with autosomal DNA relative matching. A wellbeing test offers reports on nutrition and fitness. The ancestry and wellbeing tests can be purchased as separate standalone tests. A combined ancestry and wellbeing test is also available.

Living DNA's relative-matching feature is known as Family Networks. It first became available as a public beta offering limited matching with close relatives in February 2019.[1] Extended matching with relatives up to the ninth degree level (fourth cousins) became available in May 2020.[2] A messaging feature was launched in June 2019.[3]

Living DNA launched a One Family One World Project in October 2017. This is a five-year project which aims to create a single worldwide family tree based on people's DNA and to produce the first fine-scale genetic map of the world .[4][5]
