![]() Identigene, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sorenson Genomics LLC, will relocate to the corporate headquarters and lab of DNA Diagnostics Center in Butler County. The acquisition includes all assets of Identigene including laboratory equipment. But before you buy, do research the companies you're considering and understand the products they offer.Greater Cincinnati firm acquires competitor, plans to add jobsĭNA Diagnostics Center of Fairfield has acquired Identigene LLC, a competitor in the home paternity testing field based in Salt Lake City. If you're also in Canada, I'd telephone and ask them if they could could FedEx and charge you the difference.ĭon't give up. For example, if you're in the U.S., you could have FTDNA ship the test kit to you then FedEx to the person in Canada and have them FedEx it back to the lab. If it were me, I'd accept the wait of three to five weeks inherent in the genealogy test results, and I'd find a way to expedite the shipping and pay a few extra dollars if that's what it takes to do it. But it's not what you would take to a court or to ICE in the case of a requested immigration test. If you suspect the woman you've found is your sister or half-sister, an autosomal genealogy DNA test will give you personal confirmation or refutation of a relationship. But that you're here on a genealogy website-and that you first ordered from Family Tree DNA, and then it sounds like you might have cancelled the order after the shipping problems-leads me to believe you are not looking for a forensics DNA test. If you're looking for a paternity test result to take to court, yeah. nor GeneTrack Biolabs do conventional genetic genealogy testing. There's a reason that the most popular genealogy testing companies all charge about the same for autosomal DNA testing, take about the same length of time to process kits and get you the results, and return results that are similar in nature (meaning the raw data, the SNPs tested), which also gives you the opportunity to upload data to GEDmatch or even exchange raw data with each other for example, you can upload AncestryDNA or 23andMe results to Family Tree DNA. )ĭNA testing for genealogy is not the same as for forensic or exclusively medical purposes. I think the first thing to clarify is that there is DNA testing.and there is DNA testing. I'm sorry to hear you've this kind of experience with DNA testing. "The directors determine the prices and none are available at this time." So I asked if I could speak with someone that can explain the difference. ![]() SAME - Sibling test $150! 16 markers and also in Vancouver BC as well! Really? Super confidence booster in the quality of their labs. Instead you have to call a number where they only sell the Ancestry kits. Though it is on the website when you click the link you don't actually get a page that you can order it from either. Great way to sell a service - make them unreachable. Oh and 'Support' they don't have a direct line (so I was told) and you apparently only get to talk to them if you seriously NEED to actually speak to someone other than the person that answers the number listed. I called back the Genebase line asked for clarity on their site same person then transfered me to support. Sibling test $495 for 16 markers! seriously? I then called Genebase, the person I talked to said that the number listed is only for Ancestry testing ? OK so why is it also listed on the website that you do Sibling testing? She asked how I got the number (though it was FT it is on their website) and had to give her the website address ? Call Centre perhaps? She seemed like she had no clue, then gave me a number for Gene Tracker Canada, another division. :( With an A+ rating - how does that even make sense? ![]() Better Business Bureau - complains 85% negative. I called FTDNA and they set me to DNA Diagnostics Center. Guess they do this a lot - which begs the question as to why? Who at the boarder is not sending them through?Īnyways back to researching which Sibling testing company is not going to take as long and not cost a fortune to do. Now we just found out that USPS has my potential sisters is 'Held' at the boarder. ? Regardless you still have to pay $12.95 in USD. I was also not expecting to pay for additional postage as it says that the return postage is included but that it only applies to the USA. I am not recommending (obviously after you read this) either site.Īwhile ago I ordered FTDNA for myself and my potential sister (plus 3 other kits for family members) But now after taking weeks to arrive to only find out it's could take up to another month for the results - sigh. ![]() So since I couldn't find how to upload a screen shot I posted the (offending) links just for proof. ![]() Hi there - bit of a rant on testing companies. ![]()
