Hi George

FTDNA does report in alleles. Our certificates now only list allele
values for our current 21 markers. The conversion chart is an aid to
handle the 'sins of the past' :)

We will only be reporting in alleles from this time forward...actually
all certificates values were changed beginning a few weeks ago to the
standard scientific nomenclature.

For everyone's general knowledge the lab at the U of A is calibrated to
the NIH and FBI because the U of A collaborates with these folks in
studies ad marker identification.

FTDNA has posted their 21 DYS# markers, plus the offset values to
convert
their Certificate Scores to match conventional reported alleles at:
http://www.familytreedna.com/9markers.html

Why don't they just report scores using conventional allele numbers?
