Who pays for DNA tests for Austin lines?
Approximately 80% of the Austin line DNA testing done to date has been paid for by individual researchers who were interested in discovering or confirming their Austin lines. Such tests are usually uncoordinated, so in order to complete the Profiles Table in a more systematic manner, the Austin-Austen DNA Project Fund was created. This Fund has selected the DNA donors and paid for about 20% of the tests done to date.
