Why Do a DNA Test? • Determine if two people are related • Determine if two people descend from the same ancestor • Find out if you are related to others with the same surname • Prove or disprove your family tree research • Go beyond brick wall in genealogy • Provide clues about your ethnic origin • To find out about genetic risk factors in health
AATG Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) 7 repeats 8 repeats the repeat region is variable between samples while the flanking regions where PCR primers bind are constant Homozygote = both alleles are the same length Heterozygote = alleles differ and can be resolved from one another

Branches and Twigs Haplogroups are the descents or mega-families that characterized early human migrations. They are normally associated with geographical regions. Examples: R1b (Western Atlantic European), I (northern Europe), J (Jewish, Middle Eastern). HaplotypeOne person's set of values for the markers that have been tested. Two individuals that match on all markers but one, have two distinct haplotypes. (One-step mutation)
Atlantic Modal Haplotype DYS388 12DYS390 24DYS391 11DYS392 13DYS393 13DYS394 14 (also known as DYS19) If you have one mutation in either direction, then you are AMH 1.15+. The AMH 1.15 haplotype is also referred to as the Atlantic Modal Cluster or AMC. Generally 1.15+ puts you in haplogroup 1 (H1), but not always.
