The savings to customers come in response to reduced costs following FTDNA's 'systemic improvements to production processes'. The company says it hopes the lower prices will see not only more people being encouraged to test but that they will test at a higher level.
With that in mind, FTDNA has discontinued its 25-marker and 67-marker y-DNA tests.
Here's the new pricing structure:
- Y-37 $119 (previously $169)
- Y-111 $249 (previously $359)
- BigY-700 $449 (previously $649)
- mtDNA full sequence $159 (previously $199)
- Family Finder autosomal DNA test $79 (no change)
Shipping costs are additional and are $9.95 in the US and $12.95 to most international destinations.
