An allele is a DNA sequence that repeats at a certain location (or place) on the Y chromosome. The allele value is the number of times the sequence repeats. Pronounced uh-LEEL. For example if the repeat is GATA and you find GATAGATAGATAGATA then the allele’s value is 4 in this example and it’s used to compare your value to other men who have ben tested for this location on their Y Chromosome.
