2. Genealogical DNA test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test

   There are three major types of genealogical DNA tests: Autosomal (which includes X-DNA), Y-DNA, and mtDNA. Autosomal DNA tests look at chromosome pairs 1–22 and the X part of the 23rd chromosome. The autosomes (chromosome pairs 1–22) are inherited from both parents and all recent ancestors.

3. Y-STR - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-STR

   Y-STRs are often used in forensics, paternity, and genealogical DNA testing. Y-STRs are taken specifically from the male Y chromosome. These Y-STRs provide a weaker analysis than autosomal STRs because the Y chromosome is only found in males, which are only passed down by the father, making the Y chromosome in any paternal line practically ...

4. 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.

   Though humans can have different skin tones, speak different languages or have different genders, we all share 99.9% of our DNA. Ancestry tests are used to deepen divisions when they are ...

6. List of Y-STR markers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Y-STR_markers

   The Y-STR markers in the following list are commonly used in forensic [1] and genealogical DNA testing. DYS454 is the least diverse, and multi-copy marker DYS464 is the most diverse Y-STR marker. The location on the Y-chromosome of numbered Y-STR markers can be roughly given with cytogenetic localization. For example, DYS449 is located at Yp11 ...

7. Autosome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autosome

   Autosomal recessive diseases, however, require two copies of the deleterious allele for the disease to manifest. Because it is possible to possess one copy of a deleterious allele without presenting a disease phenotype, two phenotypically normal parents can have a child with the disease if both parents are carriers (also known as heterozygotes ...
