Ancestry DNA Test

Paternal Lineage DNA Test - Maternal Lineage DNA Test

Y-Chromosome DNA Test

Y-chromosome DNA test is performed to determine whether two or more males are biologically related through their father's side of the family. The Y chromosome is passed from father to son and has a relatively infrequent mutation rate, thus it remains the same through many generations.

Also known as Y-STR testing, paternal lineage DNA testing can be used to verify family relationships when a male’s alleged father is unavailable for paternity testing and other family relationship DNA tests cannot be applied to the situation.

A son inherits his Y chromosome from his father, and the chromosome undergoes little or no change during this inheritance. Because of this fact, males’ Y chromosomes can be profiled and compared to verify whether the individuals are biologically related through the paternal family line. Males who are biologically related in this way will have practically identical Y-STR profiles, while males who are not related will have unique Y-STR profiles.

Note:
While Y-chromosome comparative analysis can determine whether males are paternally related, it cannot determine the nature of the relationship—whether they are father/son, uncle/nephew, grandfather/grandson, etc.

mtDNA Sequence Analysis

mtDNA sequence analysis is a valuable tool for determining whether individuals are biologically related through their mothers’ side of the family. For this reason, it is commonly referred to as a maternal lineage test .

The term mtDNA is short for mitochondrial DNA , a type of DNA that is found in the mitochondria, or energy-producing “powerhouses,” of the cells. Mitochondrial DNA is passed from a mother to her children, making it useful for tracing individuals’ maternal lineage. (While both sons and daughters inherit mtDNA from their mothers, only daughters can pass their mtDNA to their children.)

In an mtDNA maternal lineage test, the tested parties’ mtDNA is sequenced (the order of the DNA molecules in their mtDNA is determined). These sequences are then compared to determine whether or not the individuals share the same maternal line. The mtDNA sequences of maternally related individuals will have predictable similarities.

Tested Parties
Two or more individuals believe that they share the same paternal or maternal lineage

Additional Tested Parties
We can test additional children, alleged fathers / mother if needed; there is a DNA testing and analysis fee of P. Rs. 10950/= for each additional tested party. The additional tested parties need to be added to the case during setup (before the testing process is started in the laboratory).

For the associated fees, please review our fee schedule.
