Published genetics study "The Phylogeny of the Four Pan-American MtDNA Haplogroups: Implications for Evolutionary and Disease Studies" utilizes a mitochondrial DNA sequence uploaded to GenBank by a client of Family Tree DNA. This is the first known instance of a study using data submitted through a commercial testing company being used for science. Accession# EF648602
