MyHeritage has another new DNA tool that could help not only adoptees but anyone trying to sort through their DNA matches and that’s something called AutoClusters. AutoClusters work on both DNA results from a MyHeritage DNA test as well as the results from other tests that you’ve uploaded to MyHeritage.
