Description
THIS TEST ANALYZES ONLY YOUR MALE LINES & THE SAMPLE MUST BE SUBMITTED BY A MALE. Our Premium Male Test analyzes your biological father's direct male line - his father's father's father, and so on, all the way back -- by testing the markers of your Y chromosome. This is the ideal test for surname origin and genealogy searches. Your Y chromosome is examined at 25 locations for distinctive markers called Y-STRs. The scores for the 25 Y-STRs determine your father's male line or pedigree, which follows the surname through history. Your father's haplotype is searched in several Y chromosome resources and Ysearch, a database that can provide the names and contact information of males descended from the same male ancestor as you within about the past 500 years. Your report includes a world heat-map of the distribution of your haplotype showing where genetic cousins live today. Once completed you get:
- Y chromosome laboratory report signed by chief scientific officer
- Database search results with possible links to named male relatives you can correspond with
- Surname origin and meaning (researched against over 70 expert surname sources)
- Confirmation and History with description of your father's male line (haplotype)
- One-click access to websites and matching male cousins mentioned in your report
- Famous individuals who have your male haplogroup
- Instructions how to enter your DNA results into Ysearch, if you so choose
