Mito Updates

Earlier in the month I received my mtDNA full sequence results from FamilyTreeDNA. This included a confirmed haplogroup of A2d2. I submitted a request to join the A2 mtDNA haplogroup project. Today I received a reply welcoming me to the project, with some instructions for participating and sharing my results with the project administrators.

Later this afternoon, FamilyTreeDNA pushed out an email announcing "Big Changes Ahead for Your mtDNA Journey". It looks like they will be releasing their mtDNA Tree of Humankind, perhaps by Rootstech in early March. Testers like myself will receive more refined haplogroups on the expanded mtDNA tree, enhanced reports, and other tools to help explore our mtDNA story in greater depth. This is super cool news, and I'm really looking forward to hearing more about the mtDNA Tree of Humankind.
