FTDNA J-M172 SNP Pack (xM67,L24) Beta release

Suggestions for members of the J2-M172 Project@FTDNA:

• 109 SNPs downstream of M172, see J2-FTDNA-SNP-pack_2015-09-09_and-research-tree.PDF
  
• optimized for all currently researched subclades except M67 and L24 (will have their own SNP Pack)
• recommended for kits who won’t invest in NGS (BigY) and like to get a good value for 1/5 of the BigY price
• recommended for kits without SNP testing who do not have 37+ marker matches with terminal SNP testing
• recommended for most kits who have done the old Deep Clade SNP tests
• recommended for most kits who have not tested any of the three last terminal haplogroups
• not recommended for kits in M67 or L24 groups! (FTDNA does suggest this offer to kits without and even some with SNP testing)

The introductory beta price of $99 will be available for one week or until we reach 192 orders, whichever comes first. Please note that this price will be changed without prior notice.

Ordering will be available trough a myFTDNA start page banner or the Haplotree and SNPs page or on the Advanced Tests page (select:  Test Type SNP Pack > J-M172).
