Information stored in the Y-chromosome passes virtually unchanged from father-to-son for centuries.

Computer algorithms predict approximately how long ago the common ancestor lived. These results have many genealogical applications. | Information stored in the Y-chromosome passes virtually unchanged from father-to-son for centuries.
