Don't get too excited about Ancestry.com joining the standardization group, Family Tree DNA has been working with the NIST for some time, it is not just a matter of standardizing the marker names and values, there are all the SNPs that need to be standardized to. Ancestry is definately cheaper, but there is alot more to genetic testing for genealogical purposes, than the price, and Ancestry looses in all other categories in my opinion. Marleen Van Horne
