See the list of personal genomics companies for details of companies providing DNA tests for health, traits and pharmacogenetics. For information on ancient and forensic DNA testing facilities see the list of forensic and ancient DNA laboratories.

This list of DNA testing companies is provided for information only. Inclusion on this list does not imply recommendation or endorsement by ISOGG. ISOGG welcomes additions and corrections to this list. Please contact us with the appropriate details.

Each listing includes a link to the Wiki page about the company or the company's own website. The table includes brief notations about the offerings of a company. The classification is somewhat arbitrary, as some tests can provide information for more than one purpose. For more background, see Before You Test.

• Genealogy -- identify genetic cousins to help build a family tree
