I'm kicking myself, now, that we didn't think to ban together and fund a BigY test for one of our root M253*'s back when the test was on sale, especially if someone had a coupon they weren't using. Of course, we could still do that, it'll just take more donations. I'll kick in $20, if that will help get the ball rolling. Diana

Double that cost! Isolated single BigY tests have much, much, much less value than paired tests where the two are from same clade.
