I’ve been looking at having a mitochondrial or Y-line DNA sequencing done for genealogy purposes. There seem to be quite a few labs out there but the price for a comprehensive analysis is a bit steep for me (US$250-$400). I’m sure there’s a university somewhere that’ll do it for much less money.

Try ancestry.com The prices seem to be a little better. The wife and I are considering it...we are big time into genealogy.

If you do go with Ancestry.com, I strongly suggest you join a surname project when you order. It can save you some money if you do so. We had two different groups of people tested in my family before we finally figured out that it would have been cheaper to join the project before being tested. Also, it will be easier to compare your results with others of your surname when you're already in their system.

Also, if you think you may eventually be wanting to go as high as a 37 marker test, it's cheaper to do it initially than upgrading later. I've learned some of these things the more expensive way!
