What is so special about ADNATiP™?
ADNATiP™ is the world’s first program that incorporates specific mutation rates that have been proven to differ across markers, which greatly increases the power and precision of estimates of Time to the Most Recent Common Ancestor (TMRCA). Coupling this program with the results of a recent mutation rate study conducted by the University of Arizona, and presented by African DNA at the 1st International Conference on Genetic Genealogy on Oct. 30, 2004, has resulted in an extremely powerful new tool for genealogists. The U of A mutation rate study generated values significantly higher than those typically reported in the literature, and incorporation of these marker specific higher rates into ADNATiP™, results in an analysis when using 37 markers that is as powerful as a 56 marker test using the method of analysis currently applied by other genetic genealogical companies. These results arose from collaboration between ADNA, the Arizona Research Lab, which is one of the world leading labo
