Haplogroups
Ancestry
Haplogroups mark the migration from common ancestors to distinct regional populations.
Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups or Y-DNA haplogroups[edit]Haplogroup Y (Y-DNA) is the root of the Y Chromosome Haplogroup Tree. This blog summary of the human genographic project from national geographic is well written. The paper [PMID 18385274] is currently the best reference for the Y chromosome. The supplemental material is available at [1] and is sufficient for determining a reasonable collection of snps for the criteria of a genoset which recognizes a haplogroup. [2] provides a nice poster although it lacks the mapping to rs#.
There was a recomendation from the Y-chromosome consortium, YCC, to change to a short hand. That is to write R-P312 rather than R1b1b2a1a2. ISOGG Tree version is 2010 http://www.isogg.org/tree/index.html ISOGG List of SNP markers for Haplogroups http://isogg.org/tree/ISOGG_YDNA_SNP_Index.html YCC table of markers with ancestral/descendant changes (but old and incomplete) http://ycc.biosci.arizona.edu/nomenclature_system/data.html current version of the YCC tree. http://www.familytreedna.com/snps-r-us.aspx The STR predictions are handled by Whit Athey's tool. http://www.hprg.com/hapest5/ ySearch ID pages are the easy way to read in STR data.
