Dear All,
We’ve done it again.
The first to bring you a searchable public Y-chromosome database,
the first to bring you the most comprehensive genealogical
Y-chromosome test and now at DNA Heritage we’re delighted
to announce the launch of our brand new, all-encompassing,
Y-chromosome SNP testing capability – a major leap forward
in biogeographical testing.
Up until now we have been able to make predictions of haplogroup
assignments based upon your Y-chromosome STR results (your
haplotype). We’re now able to offer a far more detailed
haplogroup assignment based upon the most comprehensive Y-SNP
test available.
So if your Y-chromosome is in I1b2 found almost exclusively
in Sardinia, we can now determine this. If it is in J2f1 found
rarely in the Balkans and Pakistan, or in E3b3; common in
Israel down to the Horn of Africa and along the south of the
Mediterranean, we can find this out for you.
Native American? African? Inuit, Ainu or Icelandic? Every
population can now place themselves within the Y-Chromosome
Tree through our biogeographical DNA test.
An all this for just $149.
We’ve created an interactive map showing where the
major haplogroups are found at http://www.dnaheritage.com/ysnptree.asp.
From there you can also see the Tree in brief covering all
18 major Haplogroups but then progress to see all of the sub-haplogroups
for each and every haplogroup.
The SNP markers that we test for are seen shaded and the
tree is based upon the YCC 2003 Tree. A complete list of SNP
markers (too long for this email) can be seen at http://www.dnaheritage.com/ysnpmarkers.asp
This test is very different from others offered elsewhere
as we begin testing at the very root of the Y-Chromosome Tree
and genetically trace the route of your DNA down to sub-haplogroup
level, meaning that we don’t need to know your haplotype
first.
There is additional information at http://www.dnaheritage.com/ysnp.asp
and for questions that you may have you can go to http://www.dnaheritage.com/faqs.asp#30
To order this incredible test, log in to your Personal Page
at Oracle and just look for the button that says ‘Order
SNP test’.
If you have forgotten your Oracle access codes, you can quickly
retrieve them at http://www.dnaheritage.com/oracle/password.asp
When you have your results, don’t forget to update
your Ybase record too (at http://www.ybase.org). The resolution
in this new test is more than most research labs can achieve
and coupled with your Y-STR haplotypes makes for very detailed
information that is freely available to anyone, customers
and researchers alike allowing knowledge about human migrations
to progress further still.
This new test is initially just for our past and current
customers. We shall be rolling out this new test to the general
public shortly complete with full reports, although we shall
of course provide you with these full reports anyway as soon
as they are ready. We just wanted to provide our own customers
with advance testing at a great price.
