  2. Genealogical DNA test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test

    Based on MtDNA and Y-DNA, a person's haplogroup(s) can be identified. The mtDNA test can be taken by both males and females, because everyone inherits their mtDNA from their mother, as the mitochondrial DNA is located in the egg cell. However, a Y-DNA test can only be taken by a male, as only males have a Y-chromosome.

  3. List of DNA-tested mummies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNA-tested_mummies

    This is a purported list of ancient humans remains, including mummies, that may have been DNA tested. Provided as evidence of the testing are links to the mitochondrial DNA sequences, and/or to the human haplogroups to which each case has been assigned. Also provided is a brief description of when and where they lived.

  4. Genetic studies of Jews - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_of_Jews

    Studies on Jewish populations have been principally conducted using three types of genealogical DNA tests: autosomal (atDNA), mitochondrial (mtDNA), and Y-chromosome (Y-DNA). atDNA tests, which look at the entire DNA mixture, show that Jewish populations have tended to form genetic isolates – relatively closely related groups in independent ...

  5. Genetic genealogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_genealogy

    Genetic genealogy is the use of genealogical DNA tests, i.e., DNA profiling and DNA testing, in combination with traditional genealogical methods, to infer genetic relationships between individuals. This application of genetics came to be used by family historians in the 21st century, as DNA tests became affordable.

  6. List of haplogroups of historic people - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_haplogroups_of...

    Because mtDNA is carried through the direct female line, some researchers have identified the haplotype of historic persons by testing descendants in their direct female line. In the case of males, their mother's direct female lineage descendants are tested. Y-DNA testing may be carried out on male relatives.

  8. FamilyTreeDNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FamilyTreeDNA

    FamilyTreeDNA offers analysis of autosomal DNA, Y-DNA, and mitochondrial DNA to individuals for genealogical purpose. With a database of more than two million records, it is the most popular company worldwide for Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA, and the fourth most popular for autosomal DNA. In Europe, it is the most common also for autosomal DNA.

  9. Haplogroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup

    In human genetics, the haplogroups most commonly studied are Y-chromosome (Y-DNA) haplogroups and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups, each of which can be used to define genetic populations. Y-DNA is passed solely along the patrilineal line, from father to son, while mtDNA is passed down the matrilineal line, from mother to offspring of both ...
