Trace Your Roots with DNA Ancestry Test in India

DNA is the source of genetic information. It helps in an individual's biological identification for various purposes and links a person to his ancestral past. DNA testing has several applications in today's time. Previously, people learned about their ancestors from their elders or parents. Sometimes, these stories were accompanied by historical documentation also. Fast forward to today, DNA changes from person to person, allowing people to trace their ancestry in a more detailed and personal way than written or oral histories. Getting an Ancestry DNA test can answer most of your queries about your ancestors, their origin, migration, etc. It also provides ancestral estimates for populations like European, Indigenous, American, Sub-Saharan African, East Asian, and different others.

 What Types of Ancestry DNA Tests are Available? 

There are four different types of DNA ancestry tests in India to trace down the genomic line. So, depending upon the type of information you may be seeking, you can get a specific DNA ancestry test.

An ancestry test requires the buccal swab, made up of sterile cotton, to be rubbed against the cheek walls to collect the epithelial cells. Then, the DNA is extracted from these cells and analyzed. The following are the specialized DNA ancestry test in India:

1.     Paternal Lineage Ancestry DNA Test – It is one of India's most commonly used ancestry testing services. Paternal lineage ancestry traces the male origin using the Y – chromosome passed exclusively from father to son. It involves Y-STR analysis. This test determines the Y haplogroup and offers geographic information about the father's family. But a female cannot go through the test as Y-chromosomes are only passed onto the male child. However, she can ask her father, brother, or other male relatives in the same paternal line to provide their DNA samples.

2.     Maternal Lineage Ancestry DNA Test – This test reveals the ancestry on your maternal side. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed from the mother to both a female and a male child. This test identifies the mtDNA haplogroup and reveals where the mother's family belonged to. 

3.     DNA Starter Ancestry Test – This test reveals the information about members' contributions to your ancestral line from outside of your paternal & maternal lineages.

4.     GPS Origins Ancestry DNA Test – It is one of the most advanced Ancestry DNA tests. It can pinpoint the near exact geographical location on the map and trace back the thousand-year ancestral line. In addition, this ancestry test also reveals the last three major migrational routes of one's ancestors.
