FTDNA Holiday/Year End Promotion (exp. 12/31/11)
I mentioned in another thread that FTDNA, from time to time, has promotions. Well, it is that time of year again. This time, they are starting things early. Good opportunity to test your Y-STR markers. Same goes for testing your mtDNA full sequence ("FMS"). To give an idea how much greater resolution one can obtain (depending on how common your line is), by having one's entire mitochondrial genome sequenced, one need simply refer to my experience. At 23andMe, I am HV4. HV4 samples at GenBank include: Italians, Russians, Anatolian Turks, Spaniards, Jordanians, Egyptians, and myself, an Assyrian. By testing my mtDNA with FTDNA, and specifically, opting for the FMS, I learned that I share mutations unique to two members/populations of the HV4 group. The Egyptian and Jordanian (HV4a2). By comparing values even further than the SNP defining HV4a2, my nearest match was the Jordanian.

As we approach the holiday season, we feel having one BIG promotion for a sufficient amount of time best supports our volunteer Administrators, in their effort to recruit new members. Current members will also benefit by having simultaneously reduced prices for upgrades.
Effective immediately this promotion will end on December 31, 2011.
We hope that this will give a big boost to your projects!
