HAPLOGROUP
PINS
Y-DNA
& mtDNA
If you have your Y-chromosome (or mtDNA)
test results and certificate, you may want to obtain the companion DNA lapel
pin. You can obtain a Y-DNA or mtDNA Lapel Pin from C. F. Kerchner &
Associates, Inc.
http://www.kerchner.com/dnapins/dnapin.htm
The Y-DNA pin can be ordered with your
specific Y-DNA paternal Haplogroup letter digitally printed in gold in the
center of a custom designed multi-color logo formed with actual sequences of
several DYS marker STR segments of the Y-DNA molecule. The pin and logo
thereon is formed in a square shape (the mtDNA pins are round), because the
schematic symbol for the paternal lines on a genetics chart are depicted with a
square (maternal lines are shown using circles). The background color of
the pin is bone which symbolizes that bone is frequently a source of DNA.
The pin is trimmed with a gold edge.
Pictures do not do justice to the beauty of
these pins; however, however, a picture of both pin types is shown below.
The pins are shown resting on a soft black velour draw string jewelry pouch
supplied with the pin for its protection and for storage of the pin.
The Y-DNA pin is ¾” square and can be
used as a lapel pin or as a tie tack. The example picture displays the pin
with the “R1b” Haplogroup letters. Pins for the most frequently
reported Haplogroups are available from Kerchner & Associates.
These Y-DNA pins make great gifts for other
male members of your Knowles family, since you all have the same Y-DNA.
These pins are excellent for distribution at family reunions or as a “thank
you” gift to those members of your family that contributed to the cost of your
test.
These DNA pins from Kerchner cost just
under $10, including shipping and handling.
