Doug, Yes I do think we should take advantage of the Chromo2 test but that is my opinion and I don't claim to be an expert. I think the Chromo2 would be very useful to those who are DF85 neg. because it would help define all the other branches of M222. But this is my opinion. I personally think that for the $ Chromo2 is the best option right now but after Big Y results start coming in that might all change. Brenden

Brendan, I absolutely agree with you. With estimates being as they are, 75% of R-M222 should test out negative for df85, hence regardless of the df85+ results, there is yet a huge sector of R-222 who are in search of their Y history. Chromo2 presently is the only vehicle to test ID'd down stream SNPs not found elsewhere. We do not know what BigY will turn up, and it will be awhile before those assessments will reveal how significant of a venture it may be. Additionally the price of that is about to go up significantly. If those who believe that this expense is too much (and it is hefty), sequencing with other vendors is significantly more.
