Cost comparison for DNA Testing

Cost of DNA Test

Enhanced Maternal Lineage Test

Image via Wikipedia

The cost of DNA test to determine your genome has been reduced in recent years due to competition and advancements in the procedure. This part can be attributed to the philanthropist James LeVoy Sorenson. His vision was to map the world’s DNA in order to show that any two people can be related.

This is the purpose why the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation or SMGF was formed. This is a non-profit foundation that has collected and mapped over 100,000 DNA samples and a four generation pedigree chart from volunteers from more than 150 counties around the world to develop one of the largest collections of DNA mapping sequences in the world.

The data base of information is now available for public use through the DNA testing site of Genetree.com. This site was started on October 23, 2007 and now makes it possible your any one to trace their heritage with this vast database after their own DNA is analyzed. The specific tests and prices being offered are listed below.

The Enhanced Maternal Lineage Test which includes the mtDNA and HVR1, 2, 3 tests that can trace back a person’s heritage to early humans is only about $179.00 at the time of this writing. This test is for both male and female clients.

The Basic Parental Linage Test Y-DNA 33 marker is the test that is conducted with male samples where ancient parental ancestry is used to find genetic cousins with the minimum number of markers to make a meaningful match for the price of $149.00.

The Enhanced Parentage Linage Test includes the same test as the basic but expands the testing by 13 more markers which gives more precise results for $179.00.

The most complete set of testing that can be done with male samples is the Combo Product Packages that run both the mtDNA test and the 46 Y chromosome marker test for $299.00.

Here is a video that explains mtDNA which is the same as the maternal lineage test.

Your cost of DNA test is only determined by how much you wish to learn about your genetics and link to the past.
