Y-DNA test in Tbilisi
The DNA center «DTL» specializes in establishing paternity and all types of kinship. To determine kinship through the male line, you can conduct a Y-chromosome test. Since the female genome does not contain XY pairs of sex chromosomes, only XX, this genetic analysis is suitable only for men (the male line).
This chromosome is passed from man to man through the paternal line and is almost unchanged, which allows for establishing kinship even for the most distant relatives. The accuracy of this method reaches 99.999999%. Two separate analyses are performed in the laboratory by different groups of specialists. Then the results of the DNA paternity test are certified with the lab head’s signature and the laboratory seal.

There are many situations in which a Y-chromosome DNA test may be required. Here are some of them:
- Establishing paternity if the father has died or if it is not possible to obtain the biological material from the father.
- Determining kinship through the male line, such as uncles, grandfathers, brothers, and distant relatives (cousins, second cousins, etc.).
- Assigning guardianship.
- For immigration purposes to another country.
- Genealogy testing to learn about your male-line ancestors.
- For the most accurate determination of distant kinship.
- An official expert conclusion is required, along with forensic genetic expertise, to proceed with any state institutions (court, registry office, guardianship authorities) for inheritance rights, division of property in legal disputes, and obtaining alimony.
The laboratory has full accreditation and certification. The conclusions are comprehensive and detailed. DNA genetic expertise serves as key evidence in legal disputes and is accepted by all courts and government institutions in Georgia.

How to take Y-DNA test
The process of taking DNA samples from participants is completely painless and takes about 4-6 minutes. Often, the DNA sample used for this genetic test is a buccal swab taken with a cotton swab (cheek epithelial cell collection), also known as a saliva test (standard DNA sample).
If it is not possible to take a standard sample, alternative samples can be used (non-standard). These include blood, paraffin blocks, cigarette butts, hair, various biological stains and fluids, nails, cutlery, and more. For a detailed list and descriptions click here.
