DeepSNP-R1b DSNP-R1b

[Jamesmb]

I got my partial results back from this test before August 21 which was the projected target date. But now I am still waiting for the final results, and get this message, The following SNP’s have not yet produced a clear result and are in the process of retesting: M153, M160, M37

R1b1c as of now

I have heard of this happening to others and just wonder how long the wait might be.

I'm in the same situation. My R1b deep clade results oiginally were due 24 April. I received partial results in early May, and have been waiting for P66 and M37 ever since. Beginning about 2 or 3 months ago FTDNA indicated on repeated occasions that P66 results were on the verge of being released. The last time I corresponded with them they told me that I'd have my P66 results "within the week". That was a month ago. My advice: don't hold your breath.

My experience is similar to Rick's, although I did get most of my SNP results early.

I'm still waiting on M37 and P66, which were due July 18th.

I am also just plain old vanilla R1b1c thus far, too.

Im curious....

I'm curious to why it is taking so long for some individuals.
I had a similar situation - partial results given on deep clade R1b.
but in my case it took only a few weeks for the rest of the results.

One would think that the first to order would be the first to get the results
back - unless there is some reason they are taking longer on certain
individuals tests.

I would like to invite you gentlemen to participate in the new R Forum.

I think you will enjoy it, and we would appreciate your input.

Here is the response I got back from FTDNA this morning, to that very question:

"I apologize for the delay in seeing your R1b SNP results. As you know, we have successfully re-validated these SNPs and everyone who is waiting on the results has been pulled and is in the process of being re-run. We are expecting these overdue results in 3-4 weeks. We did not fully understand how difficult it would be for the lab to pull the small amount of DNA necessary for the hundreds of samples waiting for these results. Because it must be done by hand the lab is moving much slower than expected in order
to be as cautious as possible to avoid any errors. We are currently working to come up with a better way to solve this problem".

my results

You all must be lucky because I am still a poor haplo-I although I ordered subclade test almost one year ago!!!!! Lab just could not handle my samples or they are trying to find something else

Have you emailed FTDNA to ask for status? [email protected]

[moesian]

give up finally

Off course...
After sixth reminder and having same broken record responses, I finally gave up . Now , I am going to send my samples to the UK where they can handle ancient haplo I s much more efficiently. I am from the Balkans and probably my Y DNA is quite old and rare like a Bordeaux wine . It should include a terroir part as well .

EA SNP Test Results

I just got my results back from EA today and I came back as S21+. I guess that makes me a R1b1c9.

I am still waiting for the last three markers from my FTDNA Deep Clade Test. I was told that they shoud be ready in the next two weeks.

Congrats!

You should visit the R Forum and post your results there. There are some R1b1c9 guys there who would be glad to welcome another one.

Now that you know your are S21+, you already know the outcome on those last three SNPs: negative.

You should send your results, along with your name and YSearch number, to Dr. John McEwan at [email protected] .

We were successful in re-validating these problematic SNPs and everyone who was missing these SNPs has been pulled and is being re-run. We are expecting these overdue results in 3-5 weeks. When these were finally revalidated, we did not initially fully understand how difficult it would be for the lab to pull the small amount of DNA necessary for the hundreds of samples waiting for just a few SNPs. Because it must be done by hand the lab is moving much slower than expected in order to be as cautious as possible to avoid any errors. We are currently working to come up with a better way to solve this problem. Please know that these overdue R1b results are our highest priority and please accept my apology that you have had to wait so long to see these results.

I've been waiting since last June, but I've been getting regular responses to my questions about their testing status. In my last request on 10-October-2006, their message above explains what they are expecting to happen.

FTDNA has been so responsive to my questions that I'm okay with waiting. Especially since this is a problem area for testing. From their previous responses, they are strongly focused on getting it right rather than on time. It would be my choice if I were managing their process so I've decided to drop down into relaxed mode and wait for the results to display.

What has been returned is: R1b1c
Still being chewed on are: M37, M160 & P66

P66 validated

I got my P66 result last week... negative. Have also ordered the S series from Ethnoancestry, while waiting on M37 (likely to turn out negative, too).
