    Big Y 700

    I would love to hear comments about what you all think about the outcome for Big Y-700 will be from Family Tree DNA. Most specifically, what will it tell us, and will it go back and test to find where the split for the break in earlier snps or will it only test for more downstream snps.

    No Calls on Gedmatch results from ftDNA

    Does anyone here find one company more than another that will have high incidence of NoCalls? This is a sample of the kits that I manage: No-calls = 29514 = 4.1545549626197 percent. This kit has an unusually high number of no-calls, which usually results in a larger number of false matches...

    What has happened to FTDNA's Y-DNA12 test??

    I am not sure if this only happens in my geographical region, but the Y-DNA12 (as well as the Y-DNA25) tests are suddenly out of stock from FTDNA's website! All you can find is a reduced price Y-DNA37 test and anything above that! I really hope that this is a marketing strategy for boosting the...
