I also don't know why anyone who sees a DYS455=8 would run a test for M223
at the beginning of a series? The testing lab asks for a copy of the
haplotype with the test order, so the DYS455=8 is staring them in the face.

Ken:

I want to make one thing perfectly clear. We ask for the haplotype for research purposes *only*. A customer orders a full subgroup test and that is what they are going to get. The lab does not see the haplotype and if they did would not know how to interpret it. Neither Jim nor I have the time to go over each haplotype marker by marker prior to requesting that the lab do say the full I Subgroup Test. No lab or company does this Ken, and if they did they would be out of business as it would require charging significantly more to offer this service. People are paying enough already. Another thing that must be noted is that while you may have reported certain observations to this List, there is no one location where all these results you hold in your head can be found. DYS455=8 appears to be significant based on your research but it is not published or available to me even if I had the time to filter each haplotype. Furthermore, haplotype analysis will never be correct!
100% of
the time. Mutations occur. If haplotype analysis is so powerful why bother ordering SNP tests - I will answer that. Because it is the only way to be entirely certain of a haplogroup placement.
