But I still don't see the connection with what EA did and what FTDNA might
have done? In fact, from our experience we can't extrapolate from what one
testing company does to another on the short term.
I have the "temporary" EA result also for DYF406, which is a low number.
What it means with regard to more widely used standards, I still wait to be
With four markers in FTDNA's new panel being reported differently than other
labs have, I don't know why for DYF406 I should assume FTDNA's numbers will
prevail or be soon changed as well? I guess if no one questions them, after
a while we can then assume they are the final numbers.
