Trace the origin of direct maternal lineage. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed down from mother to child. Men have their mother's mtDNA, but do not pass it on to their children. There are 30 major maternal haplogroups (lineage) identified worldwide. The Ancestry-Mito test identifies from your DNA sample which one of the 30 maternal haplogroups is present and identifies the broad geographic region throughout which the lineage is found. Information regarding age and origin of the haplogroup as well as migration maps are also included. The donor's HVSI sequence is also run through databases in an attempt to find HVSI matches from around the world.

This test traces lineage only along the maternal line. For example, if your mother's great-grandfather's lineage was Native American, it would not be detected with this test.

 

Trace the origin of direct paternal line. Only men carry the Y-chromosome so it is passed only from father to son. This test is for males who would like to identify which one of the 18 major worldwide human Y chromosome lineages they belong to through the analysis of ancestry informative Y chromosome markers. This test also includes information about the donor's haplogroup and general Y chromosome background information.

Only males can take this test. Women interested in their paternal ancestry need a father, brother, paternal uncle or paternal male cousin to provide a DNA sample to determine their lineage. This test traces only along the strict paternal line. For example, if your paternal great-grandmother's lineage was Asian, it will not be detected with this test.
