WHY BIG Y?
A comprehensive assessment of your paternal lineage
- Enhanced results: The Big Y-700 test unlocks your refined haplogroup, giving you a deeper and more detailed assessment of your paternal lineage than your current intermediate Y-DNA haplogroup you received through Family Finder.
- Connect with your Y-DNA matches: Find your recent and relevant Y chromosome matches. The matches you find through Big Y-700 are not just names – they are potential branches in your family tree, ready to be explored.
- Actionable discoveries: Overcome challenging ancestral barriers within your direct paternal line by leveraging targeted testing that delves deeper into your lineage, spanning multiple generations beyond what autosomal DNA can provide.
- Exclusive reports: Use Big Y-700’s exclusive reports to gain valuable insights into your relatedness, estimated timeframes for shared ancestry, and connections within genetic genealogy projects and ancient DNA.

Automatic updates to your haplogroup as our database grows
As our database grows, the branches on your Y-DNA haplotree gain more definition. Researchers can be more specific in identifying the descendants of a particular ancestor and in determining the time to most recent common ancestor (TMRCA).
COMPARE PRIVATE VARIANTS
Big Y SNP Matches
Private SNPs, or variants, are changes in genetic code that have not yet been found in other testers. Once someone with that variant tests, those private SNPs become new branches on the haplotree and a closer connection to explore. Use private variants to determine when surname lines branched off and to identify the TMRCA between you and your matches.
The Most Comprehensive Y-DNA Test
Are you ready to take your genetic exploration to the next level? Unlock the secrets of your father's paternal line and discover your deep ancestral roots with FamilyTreeDNA's Big Y-700 test, the most comprehensive test available.
