How long do results take? About 6 weeks.
• Do you need my Surname DNA/Y-STR results first to decide which haplogroups to test? No. We test every sample from the root of the Y-Chromosome Tree to the very top without needing Surname DNA/Y-STR test results as a guide. • What kind of information will I receive? Every man can be placed somewhere on the Y-Chromosome Tree. By knowing your haplogroup, we can provide information about the history of your direct paternal line going back many thousands of years. Our reports that come with the results of the test have been written by PhD research scientists specialists in their areas and include maps. This ensures that information is both accurate and up-to-date. We have reports that cover the vast majority of possible results (95%) and we continue to add to this (the Tree is quite complex). Take a look at our interactive Y-Chromosome Tree or our sample report. • Are the Paternal Roots results medically informative? No.
