Hi, Richard, S7814 is at YSEQ and as a SNP up-stream of F1265. It is as good a gamble as any although statistically the numbers aren't there yet. Undoubtedly some of that is due to who has and hasn't tested. Single SNP testing is kind of like rolling the dice. We've had lots of surprises with this testing; I think once the groups continue to be subdivided we will be able to better utilize the STRs as a guide, but presently except in a few instances it's been a proverbial crap shoot. Sorry about that...you did mention gamble. This is why I suggested what I did on list earlier...odds are statistically one of those three, DF105, S588 (S7814's dad) have good odds of being positive. If none then there is up-stream; any of the 3 then there is branch direction although it is still hunt and peck regardless.

I think you need to plan quite smartly, the sale price at yseq runs until Fathers Day and their tests *usually* take about 3-4 weeks to return so you will probably squeeze in two rounds before the price goes back up. So one idea would be to do the gambling on S7814 then if that fails go back up to the big branches as Susan had outlined. But its really up to you. There has been quite a lot of talk about the history of S7814 but a lot of it is based on singleton surname results. The 'worst' place to be is S588 as that's the bushiest part of the tree to refine. If you end up there and have to resolve it SNP by SNP you would probably have been better off using Chromo2.
