What is it?

The DNA Ancestry Project Database contains a dynmic collection of genetic genealogy information. The database can be divided into four types.

Y-DNA STR Database

The Y-DNA STR Database was the first database type available on Genebase. The STR database stores the allele values of over 75 genetic loci obtained through Y-DNA STR Testing. This database is ideal for surname research and tracing ancestry on the paternal line. It is also useful for individuals searching for exact or close matches to other males who are descendents of the same paternal line.

Y-DNA SNP Database

The Y-DNA SNP database stores SNP markers and is intended for users who are interested in researching their deep ancestry and determining their haplogroup. The haplogroup can be predicted with the STR test, but the only way to confirm a haplogroup prediction is with SNP analysis.

mtDNA Mutation / SNP Database

The mtDNA mutation/SNP database records the markers in the mtDNA (a mutation/marker represents a region of the mtDNA which is different from the Cambridge Reference Sequence, CRS).

mtDNA Sequence Database

The entire length of the DNA tested is stored and can be downloaded and compared to other sequences.
