Investigate your ancient ancestral roots with DNA. Discover your mtDNA and Y-DNA Haplogroup and Subclade based on the latest published distribution studies.
Posted on August 17, 2024 5 Great news! Legacy Family Tree Webinars has just released DNA Academy. DNA Academy is a three-part series designed to introduce the basics of DNA for genetic genealogy and how Y-DNA, X-DNA, mitochondrial and autosomal DNA can be utilized. Each of these dif...
🎧 Listening to thePodcastonYouTubeoriTunes. If you get yourDNA tested, chances are you will come across the term “haplogroup.” What is a haplogroup and how does it pertain to your family history? At its essence, a haplogroup is an ancestral clan. Some clans are the Vikings, Nati...
Once again, ancient DNA yielded a majority of G2a samples in the Cardium Pottery culture, with G2a frequencies above 80% (against 50% in Central and Southeast Europe). Nevertheless, substantial minorities of other haplogroups have been found on different Neolithic sites next to a G2a majority, ...
Its Upper Palaeolithic presence in Europe was initially recognized on the basis of modern-day population data7,9,10, and confirmed by aDNA studies, which revealed that various subclades of hg U encompassed the vast majority of European mitogenomes during the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic, and ...

The Dominican Republic is one of the two countries on the Hispaniola island, which is part of the Antilles. Hispaniola was affected by the European colonization and massive deportation of African slaves since the XVI century and these events heavily shaped the genetic composition of the present-day...
yDNA haplogroups clusters of non-recombinant DNA from the Y chromosome passed down the male lineyDNA haplogroups are used as genetic markers - in tracing the ancestry of male individuals to geographically distributed populations. Haplogroups are not known to be visible to selection; that is, ...
The following Haplogroup Descriptions are from the FamilyTreeDNA.com website which was the testing company used to determine the nearest Haplogroup assigment based on the individual's haplotype results from the Y-DNA paternal line test. These verbatim Haplogroup Descriptions and/or excerpts are copyrig...
On the other hand,Deason et al. (2012)reported the association between mitochondrial haplogroup and elite athlete status in sprinters of sub-Saharan ancestry (Jamaican and African-American sprinters) (Deason et al., 2012). In that study, there was no significant difference in haplogroup frequenci...
