Autosomal DNA is your 22 pairs of non-sex chromosomes. Everyone (both biological males and females) inherits a random mix autosomal DNA from both of your parents (about 50% from your mother and about 50% from your father), and each of your parents inherited their autosomal DNA from both of their parents and so forth. Because autosomal DNA is a mixture of your mother’s and father’s DNA, it is unique to each person and both biological males and females can take this test. From FamilyTreeDNA

Thrulines on Ancestry is a display feature that groups your DNA matches under potential common ancestors. Ancestry combines linked searchable trees to suggest how you and your DNA matches may be related. It’s important to understand that Thrulines are suggestions based on an analysis of other members’ trees. If the trees are incorrect, then the Thrulines they influence will also be incorrect.
