"Introducing Big Y-700 & Big Y Block Tree
We are excited to announce the introduction of Big Y-700, a substantial upgrade to our Big Y-500 product. Along with the addition of 200 STRs, we have made significant updates across the board, including a new matching tool called the Big Y Block Tree!
For those of you that ordered Big Y-500 and have not yet received your results, we are refining your current order to receive Big Y-700 at no additional charge.
Big Y-700 at a glance
Expanded NGS targeting of genealogically useful Y-chromosome regions
Revamped NGS chemistry that provides more uniform coverage within a much broader and targeted region of the Y
More consistent coverage improves comparison between any two results and allows more of the identified SNPs to be placed on the tree
Increased number of STR markers provides more data points on paternal lineages and can help identify family-specific variants
We recommend that you join a Y-DNA Haplogroup Project, if you haven't already, to further maximize your investment and to assist you in better understanding the test results.
Who gets the automatic upgrade to Big Y-700?
All customers who placed Big Y-500 orders on or after Nov 1st, 2018
All customers who placed Big Y-500 orders prior to Nov 1st, 2018 and have not yet received results
When will my results be ready?
Come March, we expect Big Y lab processing time to be further streamlined, significantly reducing the turn around time for results to 2-4 weeks.
Will all kits that have a Big Y-500 test receive the automatic upgrade to Big Y-700?
No. The additional information provided in Big Y-700 comes from updates and improvements in the overall design of the test itself, not just from improved variant calling and user interface, therefore, tests will need to be rerun using the new chemistry. For this reason, any kits that already have Big Y-500 results will not receive the automatic upgrade to Big Y-700.
How do I upgrade from a Big Y-500 to Big Y-700?
If you have already received Big Y-500 results, we expect to have an upgrade available to purchase by mid-March. We will notify Big Y-500 customers via email when the upgrade is available to purchase.
Keep in mind, when upgrading your kit, you must have a sample stored with us that can be tested or have the ability to send us another sample for testing."
Изгледа да су напокон уложили неке напоре да побољшају резултате и чипове које су до сада користили. Како ја спадам међу оне који још чекају свој Big Y, изгледа да ћу се ја "омастити" непланирано са овим новим Big Y-700
