Network Diagram All project data, as of 24 Oct 2006 Genetic Distance Matrix
Participation:
1. The cost for participation varies, with the minimum being $99 (dependent on how many markers you test, and with which testing facility). If the cost of the test is the sole barrier to your participation, then please e-mail the project's group administrator (see e-mail address near the bottom of this page). He may be able to find funds pledged by others to test the line your DNA represents.
2. The recommended test for the project is the 12-marker Y-chromosome test. Many tests are offered by the lab we are using for the project, but the 12-marker test is sufficient. You may choose to have more extensive testing performed (at an increased cost), but a Y-chromosome test of at least 12 markers is required for the purposes of the project.
3. Please make sure upon ordering the test that you click any "confirm" button that may appear. Depending on your monitor resolution, you may have to use your scroll bars to find it.
4. Do NOT sign up for the project if you are female, or if you just want to know the results of the project thus far. The test is based on the Y-chromosome, and because women have no Y-chromosome, they cannot participate directly (though they may help indirectly by helping to recruit male NEWTONs, by helping defray the costs of others, or by providing moral support, etc.). The results of the project will be posted to this webpage as they are returned to me - so there is no need to sign up for the project just to see the results - just check back to this page from time to time for updates.
5. E-mail me if you have any trouble ordering your DNA testing kit. I will ensure that you will get a DNA test kit one way or another.

If you are male, and your last name is NEWTON, and you want to participate by ordering your DNA kit now, then please click the below link:

NOTICE: There are now two DNA testing facilities employed by the Project (FamilyTreeDNA and DNA Heritage), so a decision has to be made by you as to which one you want to go with. Please contact the Project Administrator (see e-mail address at bottom of this page) if you are doubtful about which to choose. The choice depends on a variety of factors, such as cost, number of DNA markers tested, and some unpredictable things like forecasts for future participation with each respective lab, etc. From the Project Administrator's perspective, it doesn't make much difference. However, the company chosen may impact you, so you are encouraged to perform due diligence when making this DNA testing laboratory selection decision.

Notes on usage of this site:
1. The results of each participant's DNA analysis is provided in the Results Table below.
2. The paternal descent of each sample provider is given in the link in the results table. Click the associated link to open a new page which will show this person's NEWTON descent. The new page that loads will also give the participant's e-mail address. Use your browser's 'back' button to return to this page.
3. For every new DNA "type" identified, a new "Node" is created (arbitrarily designated as type "A", and incrementing alphabetically for subsequent 'new' nodes). These "Nodes" are identified by letter on the left-hand side of the Results Table, and near the yellow, circular nodes in the Network Diagram.
4. The NEWTON Network Diagram shows the genetic relationship among all the participants.
5. Given the participant's "node" and known paternal descent, we can deduce the "node" (DNA type) of the participant's patriarch (i.e., his father's father's (etc.) father).
6. Each NEWTON patriarch, and all his male-line descendants (and patrilinear ancestors) comprise a "clan" of particular DNA type, or Node. The Patriarch's Table, below, associates each node with its clan, where known.
7. By DNA-testing a male-line descendant of your NEWTON patriarch, you can directly determine if it is possible that he is genetically related to any of the other "clans" thus far identified.
8. Clans with the same Node (i.e., the same DNA type) are related, whereas Clans with different Nodes are not related.
9. With enough samples, most or all clans should be identified.
10. The Group Administrator is happy to answer any questions you may have about the project.
