haplogroups

Yaan pointed me to this 2012 paper by Mrsic et al. They tested the Y chromosomes of 1100 Croatian men, 220 for each of the five regions. This allowed me to recalculate the haplogroup frequencies more accurately. So far, the small studies by Pericic et al. (2005) and Battaglia et al. (2008) only...

PLOS ONE just released Y-Chromosome Diversity in Modern Bulgarians: New Clues about Their Ancestry by Karachanak et al. Bulgaria was relatively undersampled to this day. This study, sampling 808 lineages from each of the 9 Bulgarian provinces, will provide valuable new insight, especially since...

UPDATE : a new study by Larmuseau et al. (2013) disproved that the blood tested by Lalueza-Fox et al. belonged to Louis XVI of France. Louis XVI s mtDNA lineage was therefore NOT N1b as originally mentioned in this thread. The genealogy below is still valid but for another, still undisclosed...

There is little doubt now that haplogroup G was one of the main lineages of the people who spread agriculture from the Levant to the Middle East and Europe. Early farming arose in the Levant, and the highest genetic diversity for haplogroup G is also found in the Levant. The odd thing is that hg...

Here is the third and final map in my new series designed to show the three major components of the European population. The first map, representing all subclades of Haplogroup I, i.e. the lineages descended from the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic inhabitants of Europe. The second combined...

After the map of Haplogroup I, here is the map of Haplogroup R1. Since both R1a and R1b are associated with the spread of Indo-European languages, it is easy to visualise why almost all Europeans speak IE languages, but North Africans and Middle Easterners don't (apart from the Armenians, who...

I have merged the maps of Y-haplogroups I1, I2a1 (former I2a) and I2a2 (former I2b). Here is what it looks like.

We've got the Y-DNA results of Ramesses III (reigned 1186–1155 BCE), the second pharaoh of Egypt's 20th dynasty. Based on his 13 STR markers tested, the probabilities are that he belonged to haplogroup E1b1a (aka E-V38, the Black African branch), although there is a faint possibility that it is...

I had my Y chromosome DNA tested throught National Geographic. The results were Haplogroup I (M170). Anyone know what that means. I read online that 20% of Europeans have this. Is there a way to narrow down where my ancestors come from without paying for another test? I also got these...

I have scrutinised FamilyTreeDNA's Ireland Y-DNA Project and noticed that practically all the Irish surnames belonged to haplogroup R1b, while almost all members of other haplogroups had English, Scottish, or occasionally even Welsh surnames. The Germanic haplogroup R1b-U106 is also dominated...

An update was made. Now we got another individual who came out as R1a1a* 1x E1b1b1c1a (Alevi Kurmanji from Turkey) 1x G2a (Alevi Kurmanji from Turkey) 2x J1 (Feyli, originally from Iran) 1x J1c3 (Sorani from Iran) 1x J2 (Kurmanji from Turkey) 1x J2a3a (J2a1a at 23andme; J2a4a at ISOGG 2009; he...

I know that Austria is mostly R1b, but could someone please list specific clades of it, and whether or not they are of Celtic or Germanic origin. I am wondering if Austria is more Germanic or Celtic. The area was inhabited by Celts for thousands of years, and it was the location of the Hallstatt...

Begoña Martínez-Cruz et al. (2012) studied the frequencies of Y-haplogroups in the Spanish and French Basque country, Gascony, Navarra, La Rioja, northern Aragon, Cantabria, and northern Castille & Leon. There are 835 samples, making it the biggest and most detailed study for the region so far...

Hello, My Y-DNA haplogroup is i2b1 - I am trying to do a family tree and am looking for any genetic matches who share my i2b1 haplogroup, especially those based in Europe. Please get in touch if you are my genetic match, would be great to hear more information about our shared ancestors and...

Hello. I need to know the distribution of mtDNA haplogroups in North Italy and South Italy. Values ​​for all over Italy are not enough for me. Where i can find the distribution by region?

Mol Biol Evol (2011) doi: 10.1093/molbev/msr245 The expansion of mtDNA haplogroup L3 within and out of Africa Pedro Soares et al. Although fossil remains show that anatomically modern humans dispersed out of Africa into the Near East ∼100–130 ka, genetic evidence from extant populations...

AJPA DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.21616 Paternal lineages signal distinct genetic contributions from British Loyalists and continental Africans among different Bahamian islands Tanya M. Simms et al. Over the past 500 years, the Bahamas has been influenced by a wide array of settlers, some of whom...

Neolithic patrilineal signals indicate that the Armenian plateau was repopulated by agriculturalists Kristian J Herrera, Robert K Lowery, Laura Hadden, Silvia Calderon, Carolina Chiou, Levon Yepiskoposyan, Maria Regueiro, Peter A Underhill and Rene J Herrera Abstract Armenia, situated...

In refference to this table: Distribution of European Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) haplogroups by country in percentage -view table Can we add up the percentage of G,J2,J1,E1,T,Q and N to work out 'Arab' percentages of genes of European populations? Can these be considered arab genes or not...

An investigation that seems obvious to me is one that I have not seen performed and/or described. This research would examine the STR variations within a population of individuals with a given SNP haplogroup. I am in the R1b1b2a1a1d* haplogroup. The defining mutation of this group, L48, has been...
