Big-Y Testing
Back in November 2013, FTDNA announced the release of their NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) SNP test called "Big-Y"
This test reads along the Y chromosome and gives a result at some 35,000 bases and in doing so, potentially finds many new SNPs
Back in November 2013, FTDNA announced the release of their NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) SNP test called "Big-Y"
This test reads along the Y chromosome and gives a result at some 35,000 bases and in doing so, potentially finds many new SNPs
that would indicate branches in the Y-tree. This is the most effective way of discovering your 'private' SNPs, those that just you and
your immediate ancestors have.
There have been two updates to Big-Y, with the latest version being "Big-Y700" This latest version is a significant improvement
There have been two updates to Big-Y, with the latest version being "Big-Y700" This latest version is a significant improvement
over the original version and is strongly recommended.

Over 340 Branches have been discovered to date:-
SNP Packs and Singular SNPs for our haplogroup have now been withdrawn. We strongly recommend the Big-Y 700, the ultimate SNP test at this time.
