BASIC DNA GENEALOGY TOOL KIT

 

WHERE TO GET YOUR DNA TESTED:

    COMMERCIAL PATERNAL LINE Y CHROMOSOME STR (SHORT TANDEM REPEAT) DNA TESTING SERVICES (only for males):  ISOGG LIST

    FREE Y CHROMOSOME STR (SHORT TANDEM REPEAT) TESTING: SORENSON MOLECULAR GENEALOGY FOUNDATION
     Note: the Sorenson Foundation test is free, but results are simply added to the database, and are not reported to the test
     subject at all.  It can take a very long time for processing to be completed, and results listed in the database.  However, if
     you take a minimum marker test, and then take the Sorenson test, eventually you can probably locate your results in the
     database, and so get additional marker testing done without cost.
   

    COMMERCIAL MATERNAL LINE MITOCHONDRIAL DNA TESTING SERVICES: ISOGG LIST

     COMMERCIAL Y DNA SNP (SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POYMORPHISMS) TESTING: EAGDNA LIST OF TEST COMPANY PACKAGES
      SNP testing is often done in addition to ordinary STR testing in order to confirm Haplogroup identification or to pin it down with greater accuracy.
