The customers who are purchasing Big Y-500. They will get the results like the (old) Big Y test before and all STR panels (1-6) = STRs 1-561. "customers do not have to have a Y-STR test already before purchasing the Big Y-500 since it contains the Y-111. Big Y without STRs will no longer be available."

Sep 18, 2024 · If you have a transfer from an MH kit from 2019 or later (V2), then you should already have a Y haplotype. FTDNA's Family Finder usually has a much better Y haplotype, but not enough to justify $49 to $79. As you mentioned, …

Jan 6, 2023 · For example, as a result of my initial Big Y-500 test, I got the terminal SNP R1b-FGC36974. Then a fifth cousin of mine also did the Big Y-500. He and I both went to R1b-FGC36982, one step downstream of FGC36974. Subsequently, another fifth cousin did the Big Y-700 when it first came out. He also landed at R1b-FGC36982.

Oct 22, 2022 · I'm watching a Big Y-500 upgrade to Big Y-700 batched Monday, NOV. 6 in batch 1453. Just over 9 weeks ago. As of Dec. 20th Big Y turn around time was 10-18 weeks. 18 weeks for batch 1453 would be March 11, a day after the start of Daylight Confusion Time.

Oct 18, 2015 · Moreover, if a Big Y participant later comes along (e.g., from Eastern Europe or Asia) who shares some of your SNPs, YFull will then redraw its tree to reflect the shared extent of lineage and estimate a TMRCA, which in this case would indicate how long ago your clade migrated to northwestern Europe.

Jan 5, 2025 · Y-DNA (excluding Big Y) – 3 to 6 weeks; Big Y-700 – 13 to 14 weeks; BAM File – Up to 72 hours. Autosomal Transfer Unlock – Up to 72 hours. There is currently a delay in Big Y-700 processing times due to high test volume. All other tests are within typical processing times as of January 2, 2025

2) Since the Big Y finds roughly one SNP per 150 years of patrilineage, you will find your true terminal SNP only when someone rather closely related to you also orders the Big Y. But once you have your Big Y results, you are essentially done with your own Y chromosome testing--you "merely" have to convince others to order the test too.

Jan 10, 2024 · I upgraded from 67 markers to Big Y-700 - Batch number 1467 on December 25, 2023 . Got Y-STR 111 results today 12 Jan. Big Y700 is now estimated 12-13 weeks so expecting in the the middle of March But...FTDNA tend to under-promise and over-deliver... My STR 111 marker results were available 3-4 weeks earlier than predicted.

Oct 3, 2020 · So, Roberta Estes performed two comparisons, and derived average mutation rates of 54.25 years and 65.6 years for the Big Y 500 product. Both of these observations would be outside the 95% two-sided confidence interval under the Adamov distribution, but under what I'll call the Xue distribution, they come within 1% and 18% respectively.

The bottom line is that one should not consider what FTDNA supplies in terms of Big-Y matches and information. The only viable information from the match list is whether there might be a new result in your general haplogroup region. FTDNA is comparing Big-Y raw results against about 40% of the known Y-SNPs.
