Someone belonging to the "Little Scottish Cluster" (
http://www.littlescottishcluster.com/ ) has posted on another forum that Scotlands/BritainsDNA (
http://www.britainsdna.com/ ) have released the first results of their new Chromo 2 Y-DNA SNP test and it sounds promising. To quote what they say:-
ScotlandsDNA has now received its first batch of Chromo2 data. From what I understand, Jim Wilson is overwhelmed by the amount of new data. (Sounds like good news!) I received an e-mail from Jim this morning regarding the results for several members of the Little Scottish Cluster. Being a member of the LSC himself, these men may have received some early attention.
I had been tested before at ScotlandsDNA, as had several other LSC men, and we were all found to be S424+, S190+, except for Reddin who was S424+, but S190-. The Wilson men were an exception, as they had several private SNPs discovered as well.
My own results for Chromo2 were unchanged from the original test, as were the results of most of the other members of the cluster. The number of SNPs equivalent to S424 has now been increased by S3025, S3026, S3031, S3057, S3058, S423. The number of SNPs equivalent to S190 has now increased by S308, S307, S427, S3027, S3034. These numbers will start to become more important when we start measuring time in terms of the number of SNPs.
There is very good news however for the Sloan, Chambers and Wilson men in the LSC. Two new SNPs were identified for them, S3033 and S425. These SNPs are downstream of S190, but upstream of the other private Wilson SNPs that were previously identified. Jim I believe will be making an effort to have these two SNPs (or at least one of them) added to the ISOGG tree.
I would like to point out that these three families, Wilson, Chambers and Sloan were identified a while ago as having a possible closer relationship. Based solely on their 67-marker data, these three families, although all solid LSC candidates, had very different haplotypes, and I would never have thought there would be any possible connection. However, after Wilson, Chambers and Sloan upgraded to 111-markers, those new markers showed a clear similarity between them. A similarity that was completely absent with 67-markers alone. You never know what you're going to find until you test!
Chambers kit is N22147
Wilson's kit is 19822
I don't know the kit numbers of any of the Sloan men tested, but I would expect them all to be S3033+ and S425+.Link to the whole thread:-
