New Y Chromosome Testing
Male registrants – sperm donors and donor conceived adults can have an Y chromosome test. This reveals a DNA strand only present in males and inherited directly on the family line from father to son. This should make identification of genetic matches from father to son, and half sibling to half sibling easier. |
