*Target Results Date
05/12/2006
The above are ‘targets’ dates provided used by the lab. Actual dates may vary due to the number of kits in your batch, as well as the need to re-run the sample.
If you have ordered an extended Y-DNA test youÂ’ll most likely receive the first 12 markers back followed in a few days by the next set of 13 markers. Quality Control is very strict about 2 sets of eyes confirming every score. This takes a little longer, but it also dramatically reduces the chance that an incorrect score is reported!
If more than a week went by from the targeted date without your results being posted, it means that most probably we did not get a result on the first pass during the sequencing process. From our lab's experience this happens in about 10 - 15% of the times.
This can be caused by a number of factors, such as a poor scrape, or a marker may produce a "dual peak" where a single peak is expected.
In all of these cases we will re-run the entire sequence from the same DNA that was extracted from vial A. This will produce a complete new set of scores for your sample. The two sets are compared, and the geneticist makes a determination. If once again the results are incomplete we then extract the DNA from vial B and start the above process again.
The lack of results after this series of attempts (2 from vial A and 2 from vial B) will prompt us to send you a new kit (free of charge) for a new scraping, as the initial samples didn't give the lab enough quality DNA to work from.
Although this adds to the delivery time, it ensures that we report accurate results, so please bear with us as in the final analysis accuracy is far more important than speed.
