Paternal Lineage Y-STR DNA Test

Y-STR Paternal Lineage From $199 Y chromosome testing is used to determine if two males share the same paternal lineage. It can also be used in cases where male cousins want to see if their fathers were brothers or to check if they shared a common grandfather through the paternal line. Understanding the Y chromosome The Y chromosome is inherited and passed on from father to son through the generations. Since it has a relatively infrequent mutation rate, it will remain the same through many generations. It is only broken by the birth of a daughter but if a direct male line can be traced then all males in that direct male lineage will have the identical Y pattern. Once we have the DNA samples, we will compare the Y chromosome profile of the individuals tested to establish whether there is a match between the profiles. Individuals sharing a common paternal ancestor will share the same Y chromosome profile. Y chromosome testing is priced from $199 for two males
