Hello everyone,

 

Thanks for the offers of donations to help fund some BIG-Y tests for your group of Duncans.

 

In my previous emails I have tried to explain what SNP testing means and how the BIG-Y fits into our research. Always feel free to ask questions about our research.

 

At this point we have two men that have ordered the BIG-Y test (Jason and Wayne) and I will apply the donations to their orders. Right now I have $125 that I can apply to each of their testing cost.

 

This is a great start for this group.  Maybe the only other BIG-Y test needed would be one from Dean’s subgroup that shows 25 at DYS390.

 

This is all a collaborative and sharing effort that will help us all in this SNP discovery process.

 

If anyone else would like to make a donation please apply them to the project’s general fund.  In the note section list it as: “donation for Duncan group ‘F’”. See project website.


The FTDNA sale is on until Wednesday at midnight.

 

We know from Dean’s older SNP test that Duncan group ‘F’ is at least R-L21.  With some newer info we are leaning toward this group being in the Z253 subgroup/clade under L21. The Big-Y test should show this and hopefully give us some brand new SNPs to work with. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17907527/R1b-L21_Tree_Chart.pdf

 

 

A second SNP testing option:

 

Another testing lab YSEQ run by Thomas Krahn offers single and panel SNP tests.  He has both Z253 and Z2186 in his catalog but he also has developed a 2-tier SNP panel that tests all the currently known SNPs under Z253. This is not a discovery test like the Big-Y but now that I have looked at it closer I think it would be good to have someone in group 'F' take this panel. In fact there may be a few of the SNPs in the Z253 panel that are not picked up in the BIG-Y.

 

The YSEQ R1b-Z253 panel test is $88 and Thomas has a quick turn around on his work. YSEQ website is

http://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=6243

 

This will require a new test kit for YSEQ so take a look.

 

I cannot say it enough…. but thank you all for being so involved and excited about our Duncan families and its history.

 

Sincerely,

Hello to all from Dean Duncan:

I just talked on the phone to Tim and he said I was a good candidate for
the Big-Y test within the subgroup 25 at DYS 390. I will do that test
and I just made a $100 donation to start. We're looking forward to
some additional donations to help pay for all three Big-Y tests: Jason,
Wayne and me. The donations have to be "in the bank" by Wednesday, Dec
31.

Tim gave instructions on his earlier email on how to make those
donations at this web site:
http://www.clandonnachaidhdna.org/dna-testing/, to include a comment in
the Note box: "Donation for Duncan Group F". Tim has three $100
coupons so the final cost will be $425 per test.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Virginia and I did, especially
being with our four great grandkids -- all less than first graders and
fun to play with.

Looking forward to a Happy New Year.

Dean

PS: I deleted Tim's email for today so my email system will 'go'. It
seems to clog up with long emails. You have his emails already anyway.
