I hope they get financed to do that. wouldn’t it better if they added more sequencing for other tribes and nations to the data. it will make the application slower but with better results.

However, they test 14 markers by sequencing, rather than using a SNP chip. SNP chips can test thousands of markers. Affordable genome analysis is literally right around the corner (and already here if you can afford services like 23andMe and deCODEme). These type of low-cost tests will examine thousands and thousands of ancestral markers. adam,

Most of these chips test thousands or millions of SNPs, while genetic genealogy companies only screen a maximum of 67 SNPs.

Since the Microarrays are affordable and a better technology, why not used in the Geneaology to cut short the turnaround time? If I am not wrong Turn around time (average 3-4months)is the major concern for most of the Genealogy customers. Does any one know, any company/lab using Microarray chips for Genetic Genealogy studies. Esp for the YSTR's and mtDNA studies? I am a keen follower of this technology and haven't come across the technology trends that most of the companies are using in Genetic Genealogy. Yes, this is quite interesting.
