Clade R
From SNPedia
A clade represents all the branches - and thus descendants - of an taxonomic (or ancestral) tree that share a single common ancestor.Wikipedia
Clade R represents one of the twenty major branches, or haplogroups, of the Y chromosome as defined by the Y Chromosome Consortium (YCC2008).
Clade R represents one of two major European Y chromosome haplogroups (the other major haplogroup is Clade I). The majority of European Y chromosomes belong to clade R. [PMID 18385274]
Clade R is now defined by eight mutations:
- M207 = rs2032658(G)
- M306 = rs1558843(A)
- P224 = rs17307398(T)
- P227 = rs4481791(C)
- P232 = rs9786261(A)
- P280 = rs891407(G)
- P285 = rs17249974(A)
