Paternal Lineage Y-STR Test

Description

The ‘Paternal Lineage Y-STR Test’ from Home DNA Direct analyses your Y-DNA. It reports on your paternal ancestry and helps you discover your male lineage.

Features

• Can only be taken by males

What you’ll receive

You’ll receive a PDF certificate containing:

• Your paternal haplogroup and the migratory path of your ancestors
• Your haplogroup distribution by region and a list of famous people in your group

You’ll also receive a PDF guide containing:

• An explanation of the test
• The story of the human race and a timeline of human migration

In addition…

The science behind this kind of test is based on the fact that sons will inherit their Y chromosome from their father in a relatively unchanged state. Therefore the genetic profile of the Y chromosome found in the father is likely to be identical to that of his sons, setting up a process of genetic transmission whereby the same DNA profile will be passed on for thousands of generations.

Results:

Results will reveal those aspects of your paternal ancestors that are encoded and hidden deep within your DNA. Results include:

• Your paternal haplogroup designation and a haplogroup description page;
• A personalised map depicting your paternal ancestors’ journey and where they initially settled in the ancient world;
• Your Y-STR profile (raw data);
• Facts about your paternal haplogroup, including which parts of the world you can find your “genetic cousins” and famous people who share the same haplogroup as you do.
