According to another forum see: http://www.anthrogenica.com/showthread.php?1620-List-of-Alternate-Names-for-the-Y-SNPs-from-BritainsDNA-s-Chromo2-Test#post20331 of the 8,894 S-series SNPs only 865 have alternate names which leaves 8,029 SNPs that are being tested only at Britains/Irelands/ScotlandsDNA. According to IrelandsDNA who I questioned prior to ordering Chromo2, the M222 downstream SNPs they test for are only tested by them. With the exception of DF85/S673 this appears to be true. Hopefully these new SNPs will be labeled permanently soon. Brenden

Lets hope! Yep, I've seen that. Of the SNPs furnished by Wilson to CeCe Moore, all those labeled CTS--that acronym I believe stands for Chris Tyler-Smith...who is not James Wilson nor Scotland's DNA. There are CTS SNPs also on Geno2 and in FGC products. If I understand Wilson's report, these CTS SNPs were chosen for Chromo2 along with some later entries and those he's culled since the list was made because they aren't particularly trust worthy. I did not see any S series SNPs there Except for the S series SNPs I noted previously. Has anyone viewed the list that CeCe Moore published other than me? If anyone knows any differently, please correct me. What we do not have, however is the entire list by what ever name and the genomic positions for the proprietary S SNPs, so that if there are equivalents to any of the S series, we wouldn't know. He was very careful in the wording of both the report and his statement about the Geno2 SNPs when he stated that the Chromo2 chip did not include any of the Geno2 SNPs with exception of df85 (S673). The Chromo2 chip is proprietary to BISDNA (Britain, Ireland, Scotland DNA), but all the SNPs on it may not be. Whether or not the CTS snps listed have an equivalent is really beside the point. If the CTS SNPs are not proprietary to BISDNA, anyone can use them for their products as well. If any of them are relabeled with S Series ID's, it confuses the issue. The S Series SNPs are a proprietary label for James Wilson and BISDNA. If it is a Wilson ID'd SNP, it is one thing; if it is not but relabeled proprietary, it is another. I do understand why a discovery lab would want to keep proprietary information for competitive reasons; if there were standards both within the scientific and DTC industry governing them all, however, it would be better for all including we the public who purchase.Susan Hedeen On 11/21/2013 1:04 PM, B.
