Dear George,
You could consider participating in the FTDNA Walk on Y project if
you aren't already doing that. If you don't plan to do that, then I would
suggest you start building a savings account to pay for complete genome
sequencing or complete Y chromosome sequencing, which will hopefully become
reasonably affordable within the next 5 years. Also monitor this list and
the ISOGG Y tree at http://www.isogg.org/tree/ISOGG_HapgrpR09.html for any
additional SNPs that might show up in the future that are downstream from
L21 that you could test for.
Sincerely,
Tim Janzen

I'm tring to figure out what would be best course of action to take
regarding future SNP testing. I've taken all the additional FTDNA tests
which may reveal a mutation below L21, and have come up negative. What would
be the best test "route" in order to reveal any possible private SNP's
located within my own DNA..or something which could contribute to future
research for those within the L21 subgroup? If I read some of the previous
posts correctly then the "Illumina" 360 SNP Loci test may be an option, but
it will only reveal previously found mutations..is this correct? I was also
looking at the "SIGNET" R1Y SNP test (11721-100), but again, I'm not sure if
it will reveal much more than FTDNA? I know that the Illumina test would
reveal more, but is it worth it?
