Paternal vs. Maternal Lineage DNA Testing: What’s the Difference?

Paternal Lineage DNA Test (Y-DNA)

A Paternal Lineage DNA Test analyzes the Y chromosome, typically passed from father to son, to explore your direct paternal ancestry.

The test identifies your paternal haplogroup and provides insights into ancient ancestral origins and historical migration patterns.

Y-DNA testing is generally suitable for males. Others may explore their paternal lineage through an appropriate male relative.

Maternal Lineage DNA Test (mtDNA)

A Maternal Lineage DNA Test analyzes mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), inherited from your mother, to explore your direct maternal ancestry.
