Leading DNA Paternity Laboratory Traces Mitochondrial DNA Back 100,000 Years

Chromosomal Laboratories now offers cutting edge mitochondrial ancestral testing. New service offers a look back into one's distant past.

PHOENIX, AZ (PRWEB) September 24, 2006 -- Chromosomal Laboratories, Inc., a leading DNA testing laboratory, is pleased to announce advanced mitochondrial DNA testing services are now available that allow tested individuals to trace their ancestral roots back up to 100,000 years. Mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited by every human, which enables the laboratory to trace maternal lineage back to one’s earliest roots and map the scientifically recognized migrational path taken by one’s ancient ancestors.

Until recently, tracing your ancestry usually meant connecting the dots through common relatives, family bibles, census information, birth, and death records added to family folklore. Within the past ten years, scientific discoveries from studying the human genome have spawned tremendous advances in medicine and human identity testing for genealogy, paternity, and forensic investigations and research.

Chromosomal Laboratories is already one of the fastest growing DNA laboratories in the country and has been providing various DNA services for ancestral, paternity, relationship, and forensic testing throughout the country. The company has had great success with its current paternal ancestry products that unravel the secrets of the Y-Chromosome. This new offering, specific to maternal lineage, completes the Genetic Heritage Collection at www.MyGeneticHeritage.com that the company provides to the general public and genealogy researchers.

“We are excited to now offer mitochondrial services to those individuals who are fascinated by the power of DNA and the personal information it can provide us all regarding our past,” stated Vladimir Bolin, CEO of Chromosomal Laboratories. “Early indications lead us to believe this will be one of our most popular offerings and we look forward to further expanding our ancestral testing services in the near future.”
