Native American DNA Testing

DNA testing has become more popular due to the available and cost. People are curious and today we can look back in history and discover our heritage. Ever wonder where your ancestors came from? Many of us are only able to trace back our ancestry a couple of generations. But what if you
could trace your heritage all the way back to the
beginnings of the human race in Africa? With Ancestry by DNA test, you can.

Over thousands of years, our ancestors migrated from Africa to other parts of the world. And as the groups branched out, their DNA evolved to have signature features. By analyzing your genetic code, we can identify these features in your genetic makeup, unlocking the secrets of your ancestral heritage. You'll discover what percentage of your DNA that can be traced to each of the following ancestry origins:

African
European
Asian
Native American

It's fast, it's simple, and it gives you an entirely new perspective on your place in human history.

DNA Test Percentage of genetic ancestry is calculated based on 175 known ancestry informative SNP markers.
Use the AncestrybyDNA (General Ancestry) test if:

You've never had your ancestral DNA analyzed before.

You're looking to determine your genetic percentage of Native American, European, East Asian, and/or African ancestry

Autosomal STR: STRs are short tandem repeats found in the genetic material (or DNA) that makes up the human genome. Several different STRs, regions that are highly variable in length from individual to individual, have been located and examined. The size of the STR is what scientists look at to help answer questions regarding relatedness. The different sizes of DNA found at these STR regions correspond to, what geneticist call, alleles. These alleles are passed on from parents to offspring.

By examining random individuals within a particular population, each allele is found to have a frequency associated with it within that group. It is these frequencies that researchers use to calculate the probabilities of relatedness.We uses STRs to measure probabilities of paternity, and most other DNA relationship test, including the Y-chromosome Haplotyping.

Y-chromosome Haplotype: Y-chromosome haplotypes are used for testing descendants with a common paternal link in their genealogical lineage. For example, if a group of males have strictly a male descent line (may have the same last name, such as Carmichael), and they are thought to all be related to a common male ancestor, examining the Y-chromosomes of the individuals in common makes it fairly easy to support or disprove this hypothesis.

By looking at Y-chromosome markers from all of the terminal males with the same paternal descent (all the males with the Carmichael Surname) we would suspect that they should all share the same Y-chromosome markers (with allowances made for calculated mutation rates, which should be small given less than 8 or 9 generations). This test could also be used to distinguish non-paternity in the line, a question that one might not want answered. Although this method is quite a useful tool for genealogists, it is not without its limitations. For example, examining the Y-chromosome haplotypes doesn't give a lot of information about degree of relatedness, just a type of inclusion or exclusion from the family. The figure on the right shows the Y-chromosome Inheritance Pattern.

The different Y-chromosomes are represented by difference colors, and are passed from father to his male children (males are represented by circles with arrows that point up and to the right, and females are represented by circles with crosses pointing straight down).
