This must be quite recent. In fact, there's an obsolete note on their FAQ:
"Y-chromosomes can in theory be used to identify a small number of common
male ancestors. When we are confident that everyone agrees on the way this is
done, Oxford Ancestors will be offering this service. So keep watching our
website."
Their web site says they are using 10 genetic systems. I wonder which systems
those might be, and whether there is now a standard set.
I used Oxford Ancestors for my mtDNA analysis this summer, and I was
satisfied with their service.
