There is noone in existence whose endpoint SNP is U106. <br /><br />Thanks!villandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743842451775208884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-35872644202201411302013-04-24T06:38:31.076-07:002013-04-24T06:38:31.076-07:00I was excited by the Genographic 2.0 offer.

I eagerly awaited the 6-8 weeks to get my results...and waited...and waited...and waited. It has now been 5 MONTHS and the online results page says my analysis is only 60% completed. I contacted National Geographic for a partial refund because of the exceedingly long delay, but they refuse to issue one. This is a new and apparently popular test. I would urge people to seek out another DNA testing company than National Geographic, their Genographic Project, and their contractor Family Tree DNA unless you are willing to wait half a year or more for your results.

I have purchased an upgrade to my kit for 67 markers and have tested a couple SNP's. I wanted to get my Dad involved and we talked about the benefits of testing with Geno 2.0. I have since ordered the kit only to find ou that the new Geno 2.0 does not test STR's as the Geno 1.0 did. So, I will not be able to link his information to mine and share data.I guess he will not appear on the results pages just the SNP pages. I'm starting to feel like the popular new guy in prison.

The primarily purpose of Geno 2.0 is for studying deep ancestry and for deep Y chromosome subclade testing. The mtDNA test results will also be helpful from Geno 2.0, but this test will not be a substitute for a complete mtDNA sequence, which is still the gold standard for mtDNA.<br /><br />@Mike,<br />The Y STR test that National Geographic offers is entirely different from Geno 2.0. The results are complimentary to each other.<br />Sincerely,<br />Tim JanzenTim Janzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905500802443410709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-52655010715105408662012-07-28T11:57:29.686-07:002012-07-28T11:57:29.686-07:00Nice, but how accurate will be results?Nice, but how accurate will be results?mekellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718882051421005733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-43327058373952503172012-07-28T08:28:51.133-07:002012-07-28T08:28:51.133-07:00When would I order the Family Finder, and when wou...When would I order the Family Finder, and when would I order the Geno 2.0?Celalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07172627060545887929noreply@blogger.com
