Relationship Tests

In the recent past we have witnessed increasing popularity of DNA, Deoxyribonucleic Acid, in determining ancestry and biological relationships. As the genetic material of the somatic cells from human body passes from one generation to another, some parts of it remain unchanged and some parts change. This genetic material is found in the mitochondria and nucleus. The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) only passes from mother to the child unaltered. Testing mitochondrial genomes can establish the biological relationship between two individuals who are related by common descent through maternal lines. The Y chromosome is passed from father to son from generation to generation. All these amazing genetic facts help in establishing an unbreakable link between generations.

DNA testing can determine:

• If people are biologically related.
• If two people descend from the same ancestor.
• If people with same surname are biologically related.
• If two people have the same ethnic origin.
• If people belong to the same family tree.

To determine a wide range of different biological relationships, DNA SOLUTIONS offers you various tests, for eg. a test between siblings or a Y chromosome test for male lineage.
