Man I hope not. They have produced some good info.
Lesson- save everything to your hard disk and repost as
needed to your own parallel site online. Create a parallel
data mirror somewhere.

Dear DNA Tribes customers. DNA Tribes president, Lucas Martin, has passed away unexpectedly last week.

Best regards, DNA Tribes Staff October 10, 2014 djoser, or any one else, can you give me some background on Lucas Martin & DNA Tribe ?I have tried to get some information about him (goggle search) but pretty much came up with nothing. Last month i decided to go ahead & get my DNA ancestry done. I don't know if it was here on E.S.R. or E.S. that I found out about DNA Tribe, but I felt i was going to go with DNA Tribe instead of ancestry .com( Louis Henry Gates )Than I found out on E.S.R. that he died ! I went to their website & they stated that they will be taking new orders in late Nov , because of the death of Lucas Martin. I have been on the fence about getting my DNA tested for a long while, & I'm glad that I waited, for the pricing has come down considerable over the years & DNA Tribe seems to suit my needs. Has any one here on E.S. R. used DNA Tribe ? I'm really a novice about DNA matters, but from my understanding they can get DNA from both parents, from my DNA sample ? For I really want to understand the DNA histories from both parents. Looking for information concerning this matter. |

There is nothing on Lucas Martin. He seems to be an enigma. I also tried several search engines....nada! His death was sudden. I was trying to get more info but also ...nada.
I used (23andme.com) for my DNA testing. But DNATribes seems to be better because they give more than Haplogroups. They can narrow down ancestral populations.
23andMe gave out Health Risk which was really interesting. Think Gatacca with Ethan Hawk. But the Gov't seems to have ban 23andMe from disclosing such information making it illegal.
hmmmm!

Latest from DNATribes….it is dead!  thought so....... --------- To provide a fuller context for your personal DNA match results, these archived digest articles discuss topics related to world genetic structure and relationships. Due to the death in September of 2014 of Lucas Martin, the company co-founder and main author of digest articles, we are currently NOT publishing new articles. The articles can be cited freely (with due reference to DNA Tribes); no permission is needed to be sought.

Why don't you buy the research team djoser-xyyman, I'll pitch in? They are back to selling test. Would you suggest Tribes for ancestry dnatribes.dnacenter.com/cart/promo/I know that to really take advantage of it you have to buy the Add-ons but it's still cheaper than paternal and a maternal test. |

Happy to see DTribes is back in business, but their best work was in the Digest they published monthly. This is what made them stand out from the rest like 23andMe, FTDna etc. Apparently L Martin was behind the Digest and he passed. Sucks! For him and the Digest.
Lol! If I get my hands on $10mil not sure I will spend it on DNA research. But running an organization maybe. After all Lazaridis is a computer Scientist. At least my first degree is in the pure science field. And an MSBA. So I have a head start cf to him. Although you do need a really good statistician to crunch the numbers from the geneticist. I guess that is where Lazaridis earns his money.

Well i waited for a reply from you & found out the hard way what it is , because I was going to get my DNA test done. But did not, for they never answered any of my emails, when I tried to purchase a test, their web page would not take my information, for some odd reason; I tried 5 times to enter my information & kept getting error messages. I even emailed them about this matter, & never heard back from them, so I said that was it ! I seems like their web page needs to be upgraded or cleaned, or something ! Are their any other ancestry test that I can get done for the same price or cheaper, any one ? |
