FamilyTreeDNA launched our Y-DNA haplotree in 2014. This new haplotree included an update to the SNP nomenclature from longhand haplogroups to shorthand haplogroups (for example, testers would no longer receive the longhand haplogroup R1b1a2, but instead the shorthand R-M269). Haplotree growth...
Is autosomal DNA testing accurate? What is the difference between autosomal and mtDNA tests? How is autosomal DNA passed down? How accurate is autosomal DNA testing? What do autosomal chromosomes determine? Can autosomal DNA testing determine a person's haplogroup?

Since G11914A is a mutation that has been known about for a long time (e.g. Tanaka and Ozawa 1994), we may well assume that this mutation was also present in that Down syndrome patient. Recently, Kivisild et al. (2006) have reported a haplogroup T2 lineage with private transitions ...
Paternal haplogroups (from my freezer-burned, shrivelled little Y chromosome) are fun, too! Especially R1a1a; it’s the hip haplogroup to hang with: We R1a1a’s enjoy the rich flavour of a Megaloceros giganteus. All that slaughtering of megafauna and perusing phylogenies was tiring. How...
The Y-DNA of the Kalash people leads the pack of haplogroup D bearers – closest to the Yi peoples. The term Yi (Nuoso in one of their languages, Lolo in Vietnam and Thailand) is a catchall term from Chinese ethnography to refer to an array of Tibeto-Burman-speaking peop...
So, as with being “African”, to be “European” is not a simple thing, genetically speaking. Here are just a few examples. Haplotype I For instance, Tim’s maternal ancestor haplogroup, I, was known to migrate into southwestern Asia as well as into northern Europe (some speculate that ...
The inset bar-plot represents a result example of the DAPC analysis based on microsatellite data and performed to detect differentiated KHn groups within each haplogroup. The example is referred to Haplotype B for which we considered three differentiated cluster of individuals (KB1, KB2, KB3, ...
Can autosomal DNA testing determine a person's haplogroup? Are autosomal traits always inherited? How accurate is autosomal DNA testing? What is the picogram of a drosophila autosomal chromosome? What does autosomal aneuploidy mean? Can hair be used for autosomal DNA testing? How many autosomal chr...
Both of these haplogroups were further divided into 2 sub-haplogroups, the distribution of which is presented in Figure 1C. While haplogroups N and S were never found in syntopy, the respect- ive sub-haplogroups (NI-NII and SI-SII) showed overlapping distri- butions mostly limited to ...
