It should be much easier to get members to test for individual SNPs, if I can assure them that they stand a good chance of being positive for the recommended one. I can handle that, but which lab? Does anyone have a list of who does what? I can look up FTDNA and YSEQ, but what about BISDNA? Since most of Aian's chart consists of "S" class SNPs, they obviously can test for most of interest. Do they do individual SNP testing and, if so, at what cost? The reason I ask is that many of my members live in Ireland or the UK. If feasible, it seems to make sense to urge those members to test with BISDNA, and Americans/Canadians with YSEQ. Paul
Paul, BISDNA only do the chip test not individual SNPs. I have done quite a few YSEQ tests to UK addresses and the only issue I had was when my own first kit disappeared over the Atlantic. Since then I have sent them all by Airsure barcode tracking and they have all arrived safely. It costs about UKP6-8 extra which I think is worth it. But I agree about the convenience factor, and in fact I have favoured US testers slightly for YSEQ especially in the early days for a faster turnaround. Having said that, the last kit I sent went out on April 29th and arrived with the Krahns yesterday which is not bad really.
