To summarise DNA projects that specialise in the Clan Donald.
One well-known one is the Clan Donald USA’s DNA project
Clan Donald’s DNA project, now almost 20 years old, is among the largest family-based genetic genealogy project in the world. It has now reached the 3000 total participant level.

It does, however, have a slight inherent bias towards the patriarchal lines (men only) and proving the geneology of Clan chiefs.
As most of us are not directly descended from the Clan Chiefs (even as bastard children), we are much more likely to be found among the Scottish farming and crofting families, which is where Scottish Origenes may be more useful?
