DNA Ancestry Test
Using the latest in genetic research from thousands of scientists world-wide we are now able to test specific areas of your DNA to give us a fascinating insight into your ancestors history. With our ancestry test we will know where they came from and where they traveled to over the past 150,000 years! Not only will you discover the birthplace of your ancestors using our DNA ancestry testing services, but the paths they took across unchartered territory and their unique discoveries, such as language, agriculture and tools which set them aside from others as they travelled from continent to continent over the course of human history.
Our Ancestry tests are most often used by people who:
* Wonder about their ancestry - if they are of Northern European, Mediterranean, Middle  Eastern, Native American, East Asian, South Asian or African descent.
* Are adopted, or have adopted parents, and are curious about what their ancestry is.
* Are primarily African and curious about other cultural influences they may have. Want to increase and verify their family's historical information.

The Paternal DNA (Y Chromosome DNA) is passed from father to son, to son, to son, etc. By looking at your Y chromosome we can evaluate where your great paternal ancestors originated from and where they are distributed in the world today.
Men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (the Y making them male). While women have two X chromosomes and no Y. It is the Y that is passed from father to son, to son, to son, etc.
So, by looking at your Y chromosome type and comparing it to Y chromosomes types found all over the world and in all the different races, we can evaluate where your great paternal ancestors originated from and where they are distributed in the world today.
Because this test uses the Y chromosome, only men can have this test. A woman wanting to trace her fathers genetic ancestry could gain this information by using a sample from her fathers close relative ie brother, son etc.
The DNA Father wallchart portrays the story of your ancient ancestors, based on scientific analysis of DNA you inherited from your father. It traces your genetic line back to the beginnings of humanity in Africa and follows your ancestors' progress over tens of thousands of years as the human race gradually peopled our planet. A map showing the particular route your own ancestors took during these epic migrations illustrates their story.

The wall chart also identifies the genes that distinguish your own genetic line and shows how your ancestors' story fits into the vast family tree that unites the human race.
Men carry one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (while woman have two X chromosomes and no Y chromosome). The Y chromosome makes men male and is passed from Father to son. The Y chromosome will passed continually from Father to son, father to son, generation after generation.
Scientists from all over the world have looked at the Y chromosome profiles from different races and tribes from all over the world, and we now know that by the particular type of Y profile you have, can tell us specifically about your male ancestors.

Much like that of mitochondrial DNA, your Y DNA profile will label you into a certain Group;
For example:
Group R1a1 (M17) This marker arose between 10,000 to 15,000 years ago when a man of European origin was born on the grassy steppes in the region of present-day Ukraine or southern Russia.

Maternal DNA Ancestors

Maternal DNA (Mitochondrial DNA) is passed only from your mother. So, by looking at the type of Mitochondrial DNA you have, we can see what your mother received from her mother, received from her mother, received from her mother, etc. The fact that mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited enables researchers to trace maternal lineage far back in time.
This incredible test can tell you where you maternal line came from, following your original roots from Africa 150,000 years ago and where people with this type of DNA are distributed in the world today.
Today we can look at the DNA sequence in the mitochondrial DNA and then evaluate where your ancestors came from and how they got there. Your type of mitochondrial DNA will label you into a certain Group; For example:
Group I originating 30,000 years ago is found in Mediterranean regions (in both Arabian and European centers), Group Q are descendants of the southern pacific regions (in particular New Guinea and Melanesia), Group J is found prominently in Russia and eastern Europe. It was born roughly 10,000 years ago, in - or near - Mesopotamia, and migrated into Europe.
There are over 20 different groups, and many of those are further divided to subgroups, allowing us to give more detail on your ancestral history. This test can be taken by both Men and Women.
The concept of the Mitochondrial Eve is based on the same type of analysis, attempting to discover the origin of humanity by tracking the lineage back in time.
The DNAMother wallchart tells the story of your ancient ancestors, based on scientific analysis of DNA you inherited from your mother. It traces your genetic line back to the beginnings of humanity in Africa and follows your ancestors' progress over tens of thousands of years as the human race gradually peopled our planet. A map showing the particular route your own ancestors took during these epic migrations illustrates their story.

The wallchart also identifies the genes that distinguish your own genetic line and shows how your ancestors' story fits into the vast family tree that unites the human race.
When a child is born, a sperm from the father and an egg from the mother join together. The female egg contains special packets of DNA (mitochondrial DNA). The child, if it is born female and one day bears children, she will pass on the exact same mitochondrial DNA onto her own children. And so, over thousands of generations the mitochondrial DNA is passed down the female family line. Men and woman both can be tested for their Mother’s genetic line.

Details:
From a simple mouth swab, our testing laboratory is able to analyse your DNA and reveal how your own family history fits into the global family tree that unites the human race. On your personalised genetic heritage wallchart, you will discover how your particular ancestral lineage is descended from the earliest journeys of modern humans as they began to spread out from our African motherland to people of the world.

We can reveal the prehistoric roots of your family history. Our DNAMother service gives you the opportunity to trace your personal ancestry along your mother’s line, looking back some 150,000 years. Or you can choose our DNAFather service to explore your ancestral lineage on your father’s side of the family.

At our testing laboratory, our expert scientific team will analyse your mouth swab. We will identify key genetic markers within your unique DNA and compare these with our database of genetic information from thousands of men and women living all across the planet. We will also examine your DNA’s genetic profile, giving us a precise understanding of your ancestral background.
The story of your ancient ancestors will be presented to you on a personalised genetic heritage wallchart. Your high-quality wallcharts will be printed on high quality paper, to ensure that you can pass this family heirloom on to future generations. Our informative wall charts are available in either A4 or A3 and can be displayed in a modern design or a traditional design.
