Y chromosome DNA test (Y-DNA test) is a genealogical DNA test also known as a paternal lineage test. The Paternal Lineage (YSTR) Comparison DNA Test is based on the fact that the Y chromosome is passed from father to son and relatively unchanged for several generations as well as determines whether two males share the same paternal line or not. This test can undergo on the males only, but if women who wish to determine their direct paternal ancestry can ask their father, brother, paternal uncle, paternal grandfather or a cousin who shares the same family name (the same DNA-Y) do a test for them.
The Y-STR DNA test also tells you whether your Y-STRs are consistent or not, with the conclusion that you and the possible parent (s) can be linked by a common ancestor. This DNA test is also often used to provide additional evidence in difficult cases of paternity in which the alleged father is not available for indirect testing, he can tell if a child is related to the siblings of the father alleged common paternal line.
