A Y-chromosome DNA test, or Y-DNA test, analyzes the Y chromosome, which is passed down virtually unchanged from father to son, to trace a male's direct paternal lineage and uncover his patrilineal ancestry.
Y-STR testing determines whether two males share the same paternal lineage. The Y-STR paternal lineage DNA test is based on the fact that the Y chromosome is passed from father to son relatively unchanged through many generations. Only males can undergo Y-STR testing because females do not possess a Y chromosome.
Y-STR paternal lineage testing determines whether or not Y-STR markers are or are not consistent with the conclusion that the tested males may be related through a common male ancestor. Y-STR analysis cannot distinguish a specific relationship between males who belong to the same paternal line. However, it can be useful for excluding males from an alleged biological relationship.
The price includes:
2 males
Please note: Additional males tested will incur extra fees.
