mtDNA testing after 23andme test

[jubda]

Hello,

I'm a little new to geneology and mostly going by forum topics.

I got my ancestry (and health) test done via 23andme - which said my maternal Haplogroup is 'R'. Which seemed pretty broad.

I entered the raw results in both James Lick's tool and WeGene -
James Lick site said possible matches are R7 and B4'5 and B4 - which also didn't seem conclusive.

Wegene like 23andme said it's 'R'

I am interested in deep ancestry and migration - given that, it is worth doing a full sequencing from ftDNA? Or the data i got from 23andme have all the information that can be found? Please advise

Thank you
J

Update

Update, I uploaded to the new James Lick tool (updated) and it says:

Best mtDNA Haplogroup Matches:
1) R7

2) R

2) R6

2) R31

2) R2'JT

2) R(T16189C)

3) B4'5

Again - i am wondering if i should do a full sequencing on ftDNA to get a more reliable match

Yes, you should test the full mtDNA sequence. If you are R7, the full sequence will identify a more specific subclade. You can see the R7 results that have been published in the research data base GenBank at this link. http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/sequences_..._sequences.htm
