The zeros are markers that DNAHeritage does not test. The last 5 zeros are
for markers tested by FTDNA alone. The old DNAHeritage used to test 425. The
results show 43 markers tested and reported.

You and David seem to sit around waiting for a chance to trash any competitor
to FTDNA. It is really hard to understand that. I personally want to have a
choice of reliable firms.

I see little difference in the quality of the actual test results. The
differences occur in turnaround time, project management aids, and additonal types
of data, and the amount of help with interpretation. It will be interesting to
see what DNAHeritage comes up with, when their website is completed.
