is known to be the originator of a sub-group of a haplogroup within the past 1500 years, and some people can use their sub-group to prove their descent from him. However, haplogroups are not normally used to prove descent from any one person, just to show you where your “out of A...
Kong Q-P, Yao Y-G, Sun C, Zhu C-L, Zhong L, Wang C-Y, Cai W-W, Xu X-M, Xu A-L, Zhang Y-P (2004) Phylogeographic analysis of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup F2 in China reveals T12338C in the initiation codon of the ND5 gene not to be pathogenic. J Hum Genet 49:414–423...
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 ...
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, ...
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...
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 ...
