Family Tree DNA is finishing 2009 with an end-of-the-year promotion! This promotion will run through the months of November and December and includes the following DNA tests:
Y-DNA37: Promotional price $119 (normally $149)
Y-DNA67: Promotional price $209 (normally $239)
mtDNAPlus: Promotional price $139 (normally $149)
SuperDNA: Promotional price $488 (normally $665)
Here is an explanation of the different tests:
Y-DNA Test: This is a test of a man's Y chromosome and it is a male specific test. Women do not have a Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is handed down from father to son over the centuries, so results of this test are used to confirm or disprove a genealogical connection on the direct paternal line.
MT-DNA Test: This is a test of mtDNA which is found in both men and women. It traces the direct maternal line without influence from other lines. Because mtDNA mutates very slowly, this test is more of an anthropological test than a genealogical test.
SuperDNA Test: This is a combination of the highest male specific Y-chromosome test and the highest maternal lineage mitochondrial mtDNA test. Results identify the ethnic and geographic origin of the maternal and paternal lines. Only men can take this test.
This sale will not be continued beyond 31 December 2009, so if you have been considering getting a DNA test, place your order now!
