I would like to test my father's side mtDNA. I am looking at yseq, and not to be too expensive.

What is HVR1 + HVR2 test, is it useful ? Or any other idea what test to take ?

Thanks a lot :)

Ftdna

Thanks, but it's quite expensive.

Any other idea ? I plan to find out my deeper subclade in near future, too.

23&me. You will get all 3: autosomal, Y DNA and mtDNA ( although without subclades) at the lowest possible price.

Thing is I already did 23andme. I want to test my father's mtdna. And I already know his Y, so I think specialized mtdna test is better choice.

I don't know anything about testing mtDNA, sorry. I don't even know my own :(

H is the most common in Europe, good chances that you and Stearsolina are H.

I am H10e, but I don't know what is mtdna of my father. And it my be interesting because his maternal line comes from island in Adriatic sea that has some very unusual haplogroups ;)

I believe FTDNA has kits that can be used to just test mtDNA and downstreams.

Those are predicted, not certain as far as I know. It would be nice if 23andme stated probability and accuracy of those Y-DNA and mtDNA results.

They are accurate, for example I got H10 on 23andme and H10e at James Morley predictor, and also at Wegene page. They are only not very detailed.

They are accurate since they are tested via SNPs and markers

I still didn't get explanation about this particular yseq HVR1/HVR2 test. If it is good one, that's the one I'd pick.

nobody knows ? https://www.yseq.net/index.php?cPath=28

HVR1 and HVR2 results wont give you a subclade result, just your mtdna haplogroup.If you want to know your subclade you need to get the full sequence tested.

It was around $50 iirc. Not expensive compare to 23andme or others.

I know my dad is H, and also, me and Stearsolina are distantly related autosomally.
