It traces direct maternal and paternal lines, offers Standard, Advanced, and Premium testing levels, and provides online results for family-history and genealogy research. Because the test includes Y-DNA analysis, it is intended for male test takers; a female seeking paternal-line information can test an eligible direct male-line relative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/precision-lab-works-ancestry-tests-default-title-combo-dna-ancestry-test-845854834742.jpg?v=1788637099\" alt=\"Combo DNA Ancestry Test kit for mtDNA and Y-DNA STR analysis\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines mitochondrial DNA and Y-DNA STR testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraces direct maternal and paternal lineages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard, Advanced, and Premium testing levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess to ancestry databases for DNA matching and genealogy research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a mouth-swab sample collection process and online results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for male test takers because Y-DNA analysis requires a Y chromosome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTest Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Y-STR markers and mtDNA HVR1 sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44 Y-STR markers and mtDNA HVR1 plus HVR2 sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 101 Y-STR markers and the full mtDNA genome sequence, including HVR1, HVR2, and the coding region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers can begin with the Standard level and use the available upgrade path if they later want a higher-resolution test option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Test Examines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emtDNA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mitochondrial DNA is inherited through the maternal line and can be used to study direct maternal ancestry.
