THE JEWISH HIGH PRIESTS According to Jewish tradition, the high priests (Cohanim) are the descendants of Moses’ brother, Aaron. Genetic studies at University College London have revealed a Y chromosome type that is extremely common among both the Ashkenazic and Sephardic Cohanim, consistent with the tradition. This genetic signature was named the ‘Cohen Modal Haplotype’ and is believed to have originated around 3000 years ago in the early Temple period in Jewish history. EthnoAncestry is pleased to offer a test which determines your relationship to the Cohen Modal Haplotype. After submitting your saliva sample we will extract your DNA and test a combination of STR (fast) and SNP (slow) markers on your Y chromosome. We will then compare your results to our company's extensive database and infer your haplogroup. This will not only allow us to recognise if you carry the Cohen Modal type, but also allow classification into a number of other Y chromosome types, each with a distinctive history. You will receive a certificate in pdf format summarising your results.
