Latest Y-700 batches

[bartarl260]

I know of a kit that was from batch 928 (Dec 31) with results posted on March 7. It had 16 Unnamed Variants, though now it is down to 15. Others in this same haplogroup have no more than 2. Though given that it is the first Big Y700 from this subclade, some could still be shared with the other Big Y500 matches. Another kit from batch 926 (Dec 24) is still waiting for results.

A week ago my father had 78 private/unnamed variants on his Y700, while I have 8 on my Y500 test.

He had 75 unnamed variants as of Friday afternoon. As of this posting, I just checked again and he's down to 35 of them. I guess somebody's been working through the weekend.

I have had confirmation my batch 916 has been checked into the lab, but results could be still some time away.

THANK YOU !!!

OK COOL, when will they be ready for us who have taken Y-500 already??? THANKS

Once they clear the backlog generated by the changeover. They're still hoping to have an upgrade option worked out by the middle of this month.

edit to add: It isn't actually an upgrade, it will be a complete retest.

How come us who have taken BIG-Y-500, have to waite??? OUR should of been done FIRST!!!

The people posting results for Y700 to date had submitted them as Y500 kits.

On another note, my Father received his results last week, nothing particularly noteworthy there, went from GD2 at Y37 to +1 additional GD on the Y500 panel(since I'm not on the Y700 panel). Which results in a somewhat predictable SNP difference of 3 on the BigY Match List at this time. (At least until it gets updated for Y700)

But checking the block viewer this morning after some other project members gave very vague reports of "BigY complete" without placement info, I discovered that the branch we're by ourselves on(after I split a previous;y established SNP) jumped from 8 private variants to 34 private variants. The Block viewer still only reports two people in that branch, the public tree only shows two people as well. So I'm guessing they either had one heck of a mis-match they're sorting out, or they're just now starting to work Y700 SNP results into the Y-DNA tree, and they're still trying to figure out where a lot of them go. Looks like more than a few trees on the Y-DNA side may be reshuffling in the weeks ahead as they start figuring out where those 50-ish new markers belong.

Edit to add: It also seems the 30 marker limit applies to only Y500 results right now, I don't think they're counting the new Y700 markers into that limitation at this time, as the BigY Match list only claims the 3 SNP difference all the same.

Ok my completion dates have been updated.. 11th March - 25th March. I will take that as a sign FTDNA have received my kit back.

That's probably an auto-fire script and likely has little to no actual bearing as to the status of your test.

Batch 915 (batched 14 Nov 2018) completed today. Originally expected end of Jan, postponed a couple of times – most recently to 6-20/3/19 – but extremely happy that the results came back today.

Replacement kit has obviously held things up. I will just have to hang in there.

I figured from your user name that you're in NZ on this crisp clear morning.

Results arrived for my kit in Batch 919 a couple of hrs ago
