mtDNA V. Y-DNA

[Sahson]

The University I go to has DNA testing facilities Ive been meaning to just go in, voluntary and give it a go. I went today after the exam and apparently if you want both doing they will charge you $200, as opposed to the $50 they've been advertising to attract people.

So which would be more beneficial for myself?

y-dna is much more interesting, since mtDNA is pretty much the same in all European countries

Depends what you want to get out of getting your DNA tested :)
Overall since you're a male you should prob get the Y-DNA first. Save up for mtDNA later.

I found my mtDNA most interesting, as it's fairly rare everywhere, while my Y-DNA is quite common in west and central Europe.
