The Y-chromosome. It is what makes all babies male and is a record
of |
|
| |
our ancestry carried with us for the next generation to keep. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We inherit a Y-chromosome from our father, who in turn received
his from his father and so on. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
In fact, it can remain unchanged for many generations, so you will
likely have the exact same Y-chromosome as your g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather.
You will also often share the same surname as it is passed down the
very same line (which is why it is so useful to genealogists!) |

In recent years, advances in genome research have enabled the cost
of DNA testing to come well within the reach of genealogists. Given
the amount of time and expense that most genealogists have devoted
to their research, using DNA to break through brick walls is an excellent
solution. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Y-DNA testing is at its most powerful when used with the existing
paper |
|
| |
records in trying to prove (or disprove) a theory or connection
between two males with the same or similar surname. This can also
be expanded to compare many males with the same surname as part of
a Surname Project.

DNA Heritage offers a fully calibrated 43-marker
Y-chromosome test. |
|
| |
The markers used are all published in recent scientific articles
and deemed highly useful for genealogical work. Because the markers we test for overlap those in use by other testing companies (e.g. all of FTDNA's 12 and 25-marker tests, 32 of FTDNA's 37-marker test and all of Relative Genetics markers) this provides many more groups and
individuals with which to match your results against - many of whom
have already inputted their results into Ybase.
We feel that our excellent service, advice, very competitive prices
and Oracle (our online
customer resource) makes DNA Heritage the ideal
choice.

On receipt of your order, we'll send out a sample collection kit

Once your sample is returned to us, we set about extracting,
amplifying and analysing your DNA. Our testing laboratory follows
strict guidelines and protocols for DNA analysis, ensuring
your sample is kept anonymous. Testing is to the highest standard
and your DNA is destroyed after use.
 Results of your test will be sent to you within 3 and a half weeks of
receipt of your sample if sent directly to our representative in Utah where samples are transported to the lab in Salt Lake City, Utah on a daily basis.
European customers can still return their samples to the UK for check-in although this will add several extra days to the overall time and thus we recommend returning samples to Utah too via Airmail. You'll also receive a clear interpretation
of the results.
A Demo PDF version of your
Certificate and Results can be downloaded
 .
You can check the progress of your sample and view your results
via Oracle, our
on-line customer database - we'll give you your access codes
when you place your order. |

We do not charge an extra 'project management' fee and there |

are no fees for 'upgrading' from a single test to a surname project. |
