23andme has a discount just for today, according to Twitter and Facebook:
Happy Cyber Monday From 23andMe! Today only $25 Off Our Personal Genome Service®. Offer ends 12pm PST Click Here: bit.ly/uiuxbY
It says it ends at 12pm PST which is at noonmidnight PST on the US west coast. So you'll have to move fast if you want to get it.
Also, Harappa Ancestry Project is just two submissions away from 200 participants.
Just thought I would show you how quickly I was getting data earlier in the year and how it has slowed down now. This shows the number of days it took to get 10 samples.http://reteks.ru
As you can see, data submission has picked up a little recently.
I got an email from 23andme for a $50 off coupon. The coupon code is YCM48E. So you can use this coupon code to reduce the price of a 23andme test from $99 to $49.
Here's the email:
Want to prove that your parents are to blame for your sleeping-in gene? Or are you simply curious if your best friend is in fact a distant relative, which may explain your mutual love for jellybeans and basset hounds? 23andMe allows you to compare your DNA with friends and family so that you can make fun and interesting discoveries together.
Get your friends and family on board with this $50 coupon. Share it with as many people as you like, but remember that this coupon expires in 7 days (August 9, 2011).
Have fun!
The 23andMe Team

All the ancestry analysis here has been based on the autosomal genome (i.e., the SNPs on chromosomes 1-22) and not on the sex chromosomes X and Y or the mitochondrial DNA. The reason is basically that the autosome provides information about your overall ancestry.
Since the Y chromosome is inherited only from father to son, it is useful for finding out about your paternal line. Similarly, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from mother to child, so that's good for information on the maternal line. Note however that the paternal and maternal lines are not the sum total of your ancestry. In fact, it is quite possible to have very different mtDNA or Y-DNA ancestry compared to your whole genome.
Anyway, many people are interested in paternal (Y-DNA) haplogroups and maternal (mtDNA) haplogroups. AV requested information on the haplogroups of Harappa Project participants and SB created a spreadsheet where project participants can enter their paternal and maternal haplogroups. I am also pulling that information into my Harappa Participants Ethnicity spreadsheet.
If you tested with 23andme, here are the links to their maternal and paternal haplogroup pages.
Now go ahead and enter your information in the haplogroups spreadsheet.
You might also want to take a look at the Harappa Participants Map.
UPDATE: Please be considerate of others' privacy. Only disclose someone else's information (haplogroups, location, or anything else) if you have explicit permission to do so. Thanks!
The total number of participants has gotten to 150. The Harappa Ancestry Project has been active for a little less than 6 months.sports74.ru
Of these, depending on how you count, we are at about 100 unrelated South Asians.infolio-rg.ru
Sorry for my absence from the comment section and the slow pace of posting. There's a lot of backlog of work and home errands that accumulated during my vacation.
I have a total of 123 participants in the project right now who have sent me their raw data. Six of those have relatives participating and thus have to be filtered out for most analysis other than individual admixture percentages etc where I divide participants into small groups.Укладка дикого камня
The following groups are represented:
Most are 23andme data while 4 are from FTDNA.
We are getting close to 100 South Asian participants.
Davidski created a Google map of Eurogenes participants and Reiver suggested something similar would be cool for Harappa Ancestry Project too.
So I have copied the idea and created a google map for Harappa Ancestry Project.

Now participants need to go and add themselves to the map at their ancestral location. Here are the instructions:
That's it!
Yesterday, we got to 100 participants in the Harappa Ancestry Project.
I made the project public on January 17, 2011. So, 100 submissions in 106 days. That's pretty good.http://ceoec.ru/
I am surprised at the speed and quantity of submissions. I probably have the largest dataset of South Asians right now.
Keep spreading the word and encouraging everyone to participate.
In addition to 23andme data, I am now accepting the autosomal data from FTDNA Family Finder too.
This is due to the recent switch to Illumina Omni chip by FamilyTreeDNA which has a lot more markers in common with the 23andme data.
Since FTDNA is retesting all its current customers on the new chip, even if you tested with them earlier, you should have autosomal data from the new chip which you can download and email to me at harappa@zackvision.com.
I am basically looking for participants who have at least some ancestry from the following countries/regions:
But if you have ancestry from West or Central Asia or Caucasus, I am likely to accept your data too.
Details of participation are here.
I have a total of 97 participants in the project right now who have sent me their raw data. Six of those have relatives participating and thus have to be filtered out for most analysis other than individual admixture percentages etc where I divide participants into small groups.http://mountainsphoto.ru
The following groups are represented:
Let's try to get to hundred soon.
And yes, I am accepting FTDNA Family Finder (new Illumina chip) now.
