Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): This test traces your maternal lineage, as mitochondrial DNA is passed down from mother to child, unchanged, regardless of gender. It’s especially useful for ...

More than half of people with mitochondrial disease can be diagnosed via genomic sequencing, a finding that will revolutionize care for families, according to a new study. And the Melbourne ...

Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known ...

DNA test kits that trace maternal and paternal lineage, like mtDNA and Y-DNA tests, can potentially go back thousands of years, offering insights into ancient ancestry far beyond recent generations.
