Hello all, I have followed this thread with some interest and wish to contribute a few thoughts. First, however, I should mention that I have retired from the Admin business, and would encourage

Thanks, James, for your response. I understand that the test subjects are only known by their ID number (i.e., HG00256) however, I did see on the Coriell Institute site that the subjects identified as

* Yes, we’ve been down this road a few times. My chief complaint each time is that FTDNA does not allow transfers from YSEQ. This would be ok for the occasional tester I presume, but for project

Hi Iain, Yes, we’ve been down this road a few times. My chief complaint each time is that FTDNA does not allow transfers from YSEQ. This would be ok for the occasional tester I presume, but for

Hi Joe, YSeq obviously still offers these facilities. There, the cost of a panel is typically $100-$150, depending on size and, while the Y-12 test isn't offered as such, its approximate price would

What would help our project immeasurably is for FTDNA to bring back the ability for projects to request panels to be developed ala carte. A y-12 to confirm bloodline and a panel would be much more

Hi Joe, I wanted to pick up on a point you raised: What new products were you hoping for? Was there something specific? I'm currently trying to update the "Futures" chapter of our textbook, so this is

Hi Ian, While I'm not an expert on the testing technology, I can attest to the substantial drawbacks of chip assays for Y-chromosomal SNPs in terms of reliability, scale and comparative value. The

The FTDNA group administrators conference is coming up at the beginning of November. For the first time it will be possible to register for virtual attendance. I’m hoping there will be lots of

Hi Ian, I think the FTDNA business model is brilliant, but not customer friendly. Once being in the insurance industry some things stand out. The most blaring is that I notice is that the bulk of

What would be interesting to see is that instead of the lower level STR tests, they use a chip assay with all the currently known Y chromosome SNPs. Assuming it would be a lot cheaper than the Big

The DNA Geek blogger was about as wrong as you can get in their speculative 2021 article. The best evidence is all the genealogical support FTDNA provided with Discover, starting in 2022.

Hi John, Well that’s all well and good but to Geoff’s concern about marketing in Australia, I’m not seeing where FTDNA is doing a whole lot globally to encourage testing. Some of the the gadgets

I agree, but unfortunately they seem to have been very quiet on that front Geoff [email protected]> wrote:

Joe With DNA testing, I think that two and a half years is an eternity. Anyway, in that time the then new owners of FTDNA, have proved themselves to be very supportive of all things genealogical.

?I hope they do! I have plenty of autosomal matches in Australia with my last name. Very possible it is some type of other connection, but generally McMillans from Argyll (where many of these

A DNA Geek blog post from April 6, 2021 leaves an impression of a future of FTDNA as a company with the genealogist in mind, a thing of the past. https://thednageek.com/the-future-of-ftdna/ -Joe

One would think the new owners would want to pursue that, Geoff! Charles

No, the subjects are de-identified as part of the human specimen protocols. I believe some like Steven Pinker have been disclosed however by combining databases. However, I don’t recall if he’s in

Charles, As U106 representative, what would be good is more Australian testers which could be generated by some advertising in Australia. I believe that FTDNA is now owned by MYDNA, a Melbourne,
