5Excerpt
from the pop-up box on the order page: "The difference in price is due
to the one off cost of extracting your DNA. Extraction fees include the
cost of the kit itself as well as postage fees and are the norm at most
DNA labs. Returning
customers are considered as those who have previously had DNA extracted
with EthnoAncestry. With the exception of the Haploview S-series upgrade,
Ethnoancestry Haploview customers are required to purchase a new DNA
extraction. The extraction process used by Marligen is different to that
used by our lab in London. Oppenheimer interpretation only customers are
similarly not regarded as returning customers."
6Family
Tree DNA also processes tests for African
DNA, along with its European subsidiary iGENEA,
and DNA Ancestry
& Family Origin. Participants
who join Family Tree DNA's database will have kit numbers that begin with
'A' from African DNA, 'E' from iGENEA, and 'M' from DNA Ancestry &
Family Origin. National Geographic Genographic kit transfers begin with
'N'.
7 Additional
markers may be ordered through Family Tree DNA's Houston-based
Genomics Research Center.
8National Geographic Genographic Project is a 5-year project which commenced
in April 2005. National Geographic's DNA processing company partner is
Family Tree DNA. Genographic participants may opt to join a Family Tree DNA
genealogical project once their results are in. Likewise, Family Tree DNA
customers may upload their results to the Genographic Project for a $15 fee.
However, both National Geographic and Family Tree DNA are separate entities
and becoming a customer of one, does not automatically affiliate you with the other.
9If a Genographic participant opts to upload their results to Family Tree
DNA, they may elect to upgrade their test to 25, 37 or 67 markers.
10If the haplogroup cannot be reliably predicted, then SNP confirmation might be performed at no charge to the participant.
11This price has been converted to U.S. dollars. Price is £180.00 (BP sterling)
12 Oxford's Y-Chromosome database is partially accessible to the public. The database is
viewable, but only Oxford customers may add to it, and contact any matches.
