Two new testing panels are now available: 

1.  mtDNA H Subclade SNP Test - This is an upgrade test for individuals who are confirmed members of Haplogroup H wishing to refine their results.  Click here to find out more about this test panel. 

2.  Y-DNA STR 44 to 67 marker upgrade - This is an upgrade test for individuals who have 44 Y-DNA STR markers and would like to upgrade to 67 markers to increase their resolution.  Click here to find out more about the Y-DNA STR test panel. 

The Y-DNA STR 20 marker panel has been upgraded to include markers from the Y-44 panel that are most useful for the DNA clans indigenous research database.  This upgrade allows users with only 20 markers to maximize the number of populations that they can search using the indigenous DNA database.  All new Y-20 participants will be tested using the new panel.  Existing participants will be automatically upgraded to the new panel at no charge, but the upgrade will take place over an extended period of time due to the large number of participants in the system.  If you have any questions or would like to opt out of the upgrade, please contact us at support@genebase.com.  Please note that this upgrade only applies to Y-20 participants.  Please note that once the upgrade takes place, your “overlapping” markers will change for comparisons as you will be searching using a slightly different marker set.

The navigation bar on the left side of the Genebase main page has been updated to allow better access to the DNA Ancestry features.  The vertical navigation bar now allows Users to click directly in “Paternal Line” or “Maternal Line”.  Also, Users can now access the “Ancestry Tools” section directly from the same vertical navigation bar.
