Having now analysed 400 sets of Irish Type II Big Y-700 data,? I have updated the above at

I am aware of a further about 50 results sets published since Big Y-700 was introduced which are yet to be fully analysed. Many of these kits are on the tree, though, and most will be correctly placed. I hope to work through these by the end of the year.? In the meantime, if you ensure you have followed James's instructions for depositing results in the Y-DNA Warehouse you will likewise in due course be added to his own "Experimental tree".?

With its Big Y-700 investigations, FTDNA attempts to extract data for 727 STR mutations in addition to the 111 of its Y-DNA111 test. It does not make this publicly available. For me to determine further mutations specific to your kit among these 727 loci, and present them on my Irish Type II tree on a 'third party site', I consequently require your explicit authorisation. Many of you have already provided me with this.? Where this is the case (and I have looked at your Big Y-700 data), the number of STR markers analysed will show (just above your ancestral or present surname and kit number) as:

838 (-n1)
561 (-n2)

where n1 and n2 are the number of Panel 6 and Panels 6 + 7 no calls respectively.

Where you have NOT authorised me, they will simply show as 111 (or 67 or 37).

To provide authorisation please e-mail me directly (i.e. not to the group), at ndmccarthy10 AT gmail.com, one or other of the following messages,as appropriate:

My FTDNA kit no. is [XXXXX]. I am happy for Nigel McCarthy's publicly displayed Irish Type II tree to show all relevant information extracted from my Big Y test(s) and/or any other Y-DNA testing I pursue (whatever the sources of the information) alongside my kit number and most distant known paternal ancestor (MDKA) surname. If I have not made my paternal ancestor surname available, I understand that my present surname will be shown unless its omission is explicitly requested.

The FTDNA kit I manage is [XXXXX].

If he has not made his paternal ancestor surname available, I understand that his present surname will be shown unless its omission is explicitly requested.?I acknowledge that ‘explicit agreement’ may be or have been verbal for an immediate family member, or where a kit manager manages the kit supplied by a deceased direct paternal ancestor or brother or son, or has been named as the beneficiary on the Account Settings > Account Information > Beneficiary page of the FTDNA account. In all other cases written permission to use the account as the kit manager finds fit, or similar, must be held.

Obviously you substitute the kit number for XXXXX !

Hi Marcia, are you from Sydney, NSW? Cheers. Matt

Hi,

? I manage my deceased father’s DNA and had the Big Y DNA performed. His name is Richard McAvoy. I am not sure what results you have. I do not know what a BAM is and if you have my father's BAM. I have attached the his Big Y STR CSV.?

Thanks, Marcia McAvoy

Hi folks,

Just a note for those who have participated in the past, the YDNA Warehouse is now importing Big Y STR CSVs beyond the 111 marker panels.? We will be using these to compute the ancestral values at each tree branch and adding them to the .? Currently, 8 of the 374 of you who have provided a BAM have also added the STR file with extended values.

CSV files are uploaded to a FTDNA STR or SNP Panel kit under your test Subject.

If the row above already exists click the Manage button, and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page.

And finally... the updates.? I have successfully realigned the 374 BAMs already in my possession to the telomere-to-telemore reference, CHM13 and HG002, being internally piloted by FTDNA's?G?ran Runstr?m.? These samples along with 1000 other fairly random ones are running through??to begin constructing a tree using this data.? As new potential branches are found under CTS4466, I'll share my findings here.

?also has access to the VCF and coverage BED files for this new accession.? Hopefully, you'll be able to see new updates show up there as well.

As always if you have trouble getting logged in or finding where to start send me a note directly by email.? We'll get you sorted out.

Thanks,

James Kane

PS: ?I plan to consolidate the STR, Big Y-500 and Big Y-700 tests into a single test unit in the future.? This will bring us more inline with how you all are used to a Big Y-700 being the test that gives you STRs these days at FTDNA.

Hello everyone, I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself!

My name is Jackie, and I'm the manager of my brother's DNA (Sean Donavan).? We're from Illinois, USA.
Sean's haplogroup is R-A2294, which was interesting to see as we've always thought we were of Scots-Irish descent.??

Our oldest known paternal line ancestor was Robert Donavan.
Robert was born 11 Jun 1744 in Ireland.? He died 26 Nov 1823 in Lurgan Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, USA.
Robert immigrated with his brother, John, to the USA from Warrenpoint, County Down, Ireland 15 Jul 1763 and arrived in New Castle 10 Oct 1763.
They left two siblings: a sister (Jane Donavan Wilkinson) and a brother, William Donavan, in Ireland.

I'm very eager to explore the Y-DNA connections and learn more about how our Donavans may have ended up in Ulster despite our early roots pointing to Munster.

Thanks for having me!
-Jackie

Nigel, does this also apply to my Y-500 results?

These are a product from YSEQ and included for completeness. ?You shouldn’t feel compelled to order it, since I don’t think we ever got enough testers to survey the usefulness.
