Worldwide Y SNP Test

Trace Genetics offers a Y chromosome SNP test for haplogroup determination for $200. They also offer a "Finer Resolution" SNP test where you can test for additional markers within a haplogroup. You can check the Y chromosome nomenclature to see which lineages are defined by the SNPs they test.

"The human population consists of approximately 18 major paternal lineages (haplogroups). This test identifies the major human paternal lineage to which you belong and the geographic regions associated with this lineage through the analysis of SNPs and bi-allelic markers on the non-recombining portion of the Y-chromosome. The lineages are defined by the Y Chromosome Consortium 2002."

"A subset of these markers will be analyzed
for the Worldwide Y SNP test.

M2, M3, M9, M26, M45, M89, M94, M96, M130,
M153, M172, M173, M175, M242, P2, P19,
P25, TAT, YAP"
