=====================================================================

BACKGROUND:
The Czech DNA Project was launched in late 2001 as part of a study designed to see if specific patterns emerge from correlating Czech surnames with Czech villages. It has since been expanded to include genealogical aspects of DNA testing. The Project is growing leaps and bounds with a current count of 383 participants! The Project welcomes all persons who can trace their origins to what is now known as the Czech Republic.

Feb2007: FTDNA has opened a multi-lingual office in Zurich aimed at gaining more overseas participants into the DNA Projects. This branch, iGENEA ( www.igenea.com ), offers customer support and news in Spanish, French, Italian, German and English, while providing local shipping and payment in common European currencies. In addition, the German DNA-Fingerprint merge with FTDNA, is complete. Thomas Krahn, DNA-Fingerprint owner/scientist, has officially moved to Houston and the new joint laboratory is up and running full steam!

The two primary DNA tests for genealogy are Y-DNA for your paternal line and mtDNA for your maternal line:

**Y-DNA is for your paternal line - your father, his father, his father's father etc on up the male line. Only a male can Y-DNA test. Y-DNA12 markers is more for anthropology; DNA matches can be long before surnames came into existance. But you can upgrade later to more markers.
Y-DNA37 markers is very, very good since it brings DNA matches much closer in time.
And, even better is Y-DNA67 markers.

**mtDNA is for your maternal line - your mother, her mother, her mother's mother etc on up the female line. mtDNA is for low-resolution; mtDNAPlus is for high-resolution. Both a female and male can test for this maternal line

DNA test instructions:
Metoda náberu DNK

Instrukce

Uchovejte test v chladu pakliže test nebude využit behem dvou mesícu.

Upozornení: -- prostudujte si celý návod než zacnete s náberem vzorku.
Seškrábnutí vzorku ze sliznice by melo být provedeno pred jídlem nebo pitím nebo nejdríve jednu hodinu po požití jídla ci tekutin. Zároven se nedoporucuje pít teplé nebo horké nápoje pred odberem vzorku.

1. V souprave jsou priloženy 2 sterky a rada zkumavek pro získání representativního vzorku.

2. „íslo na zkumavce by melo odpovídat císlu na Formulári a na plastikovém sácku.

3. Pred náberem vzorku si umyjte ruce. Opatrne otevrere plastikový obal, aniž byste poškodili sterku. Do plastikového sácku, na kterém je oznaceno císlo sady, pozdeji vložíte zpet zkumavky se vzorky.

4. Pro získání vzorku užijte sterku. Sterku priložte uvnitr úst na sliznici vnitrní strany tváre a s použitím mírného tlaku stírejte v jednom míste po dobu asi 60 vterin. Dobre provedený ster vytvorí dostatecný vzorek! Slabý ster dodá mnohem méne DNK, což muže oddálit získání výsledku o nekolik týdnu.

5. Odšroubujte vícko na zkumavce oznacené císlem sady a písmenem A. Opatrne zatlacte na tycinku aplikátoru, která ponorí sterku do roztoku. (Nezatlacte sterku až ke dnu, odkud je težké ji vyjmout ven)!

6. Vyjmete plastikovou tycinku aplikátoru ze zkumavky; sterka zustane v roztoku uvnitr zkumavky. Zkumavku bezpecne uzavrete víckem. Zkumavka s víckem musí tesnit, aby se uchovala kvalita vzorku. Zkumavka se vzorkem by se mela uchovávat v pokojové teplote, nicméne zimní nebo letní venkovní teploty vzorek nepoškodí (v prípade letních nebo zimních teplotních výkyvu behem prepravy poštou).

7. Po 6 až 8 hodinách opakujte bod 4, 5, a 6. Použijte druhou sterku a zkumavku oznacenou císlem sady a písmenem B.

8. Uložte zkumavky do plastikového sácku, který je oznacen císlem vaší sady. Vložte plastikový sácek a formulár do obálky oznacené zpátecní adresou. Obálku zašlete na adresu Family Tree DNA; použijte US Poštu (poštovné v US stojí 49 centu). Pokud nebylo zaplaceno predem, prosím napište Císlo sady a Císlo faktury na šek. Toto opatrení zabezpecí správný a rychlý proces pri manipulaci se vzorkem.
