Mitochondrial DNA
Testing is the analysis of
Mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA)
that is inherited through your mother. The mother gets it
passed to her through her mother, and so on.....
This website is all about DNA, DNA testing for Genealogy; you can find your
ancestors through your
DNA! You can find your father's side of history, your
mother's of her history. Your ethnic origins, your ancestral origins, your DNA
holds a complete map of where your lineage started and how it led to YOU.
DNA
Genealogy testing includes
mtDNA
testing (passed from your mother),
Y
Chromosome testing which is passed from your father, and
Nuclear DNA which is
passed to you from both sides of your family past.
DNA testing has become extremely important in today's society. You can find
out where your family began and where they migrated.
You can discover parents,
grandparents, siblings, and even relatives that were walking the earth hundreds
of years ago. You may find out you have cousins in Australia and relatives in
Ireland.
DNA Testing technology along with Genealogy advances have grown leaps and
bounds just in the course of a few years.
This technology all together is less than 15
years old. The answers you can find in your own DNA is astounding.
In a short time, we will have the ability to
eliminate many genetic diseases
and disorders due to DNA testing. If you carry a genetic disorder a DNA test
will show this and help you prevent giving it to your offspring.
DNA testing has saved many lives and find murderers that would have never
been caught without this technology. Did you know you can DNA test your dog
to find out about its' family past, its' breed(s)!
Mitochondrial (mtDNA) Testing can determine your
MATERNAL ethnic background,
ancestral origin, match you up
to living relatives all over the world, and map out the entire human family
tree.
Y Chromosome Testing can determine your
PATERNAL ethnic background,
ancestral origin, match you up
to living relatives all over the world, and map out the entire human family
tree.
Autosomal DNA Testing (Nuclear DNA)
is the DNA that is in 44 of 46 of
your Chromosomes. DNA testing for Nuclear DNA is definitely at a primitive stage
in this technology though many pioneers for all the different kinds of testing
are giving us all answers to some of the biggest life questions.
Many people use
Mitochondrial and
Y Chromosome DNA testing
to help them in their Genealogy struggles. You can match your
family tree with your DNA
testing results and solve many mysteries of your past.
Share your
family history and photos with the people you know and love.This will help you on your
own search as you can match your information with others on the internet... as
well as offer other people the potential to find their family through your
research.

Testing Procedures (just a cotton swab...really?)
We are all related, this can be proved
We are all from Africa
DNA tests that analyze your father's genes and/or your mother's genes.
Tests to find your ethnic background, your family history. Even tests that can
show you what diseases you are prone to, and what vitamins you lack....

Mitochondrial DNA Blog of many new technologies, ideas, and research of
Mitochondrial DNA and other DNA testing.
What does DNA stand for
What does DNA stand for? Who discovered DNA? What does DNA look like? What
is DNA made of? Do Identical Twins have the exact same DNA?
Why
is DNA important
Why is DNA important? The importance of DNA can be crucial to our future
survival, as well as giving answers to life long questions of the past.
Mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a circular cell that includes DNA and protein.
Protein allows our DNA to split, thus creating the same DNA in our children.
Human
Mitochondrial DNA
Human Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is different then the rest of our DNA. New
technologies have found our family history in our mtDNA which is mapping our
complete human history.
How is
DNA testing done
How is DNA testing done? Walking into a white room with scientists in white
coats. Being poked and prodded with needles, and bones samples... don't
worry, this is not the case at all.
Types
of DNA testing
There are several types of DNA testing. Some tests are basic, while other
tests are highly sophisticated. Which one is right for you?
DNA
testing labs
There are many DNA testing labs at our disposal today, though only a few can
provide you with quality and quantity results.
Largest Mitochondrial DNA Database
The largest Mitochondrial DNA database can help you match your DNA with
others. The database can help build family relationships you would have
never known existed.
Y Chromosome
Y Chromosome is passed from father to son, DNA testing for this can prove to
be so beneficial to your past, present and future.
Canine
DNA testing
A very new technology, Canine DNA testing has brought a curiosity to people
about man's best friend. Find your dogs breed and history.
