Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
Very interesting discussion around VK202! Speaking of Lara Cassidy, she is featured in this Irish documentary which may be of interest to anyone who hasn't seen it. :) [

Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
Thanks for this Neil (again). I would also really like to confirm the status of CT14 with Lara Cassidy. In her thesis he was typed as R1b1a1a2a1a2c1a3a2(a1d*). The asterisk I think indicates some

Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
Neil, I met Lara a couple of years ago at Genetic Genealogy Ireland a couple of years ago - she was very approachable. And I ticktacked with her thereafter by email, initially to find out when her

Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
Well, it was nice try, no cigar. I'll certainly note the subtlety between 'no coverage and 'not positive for' for future reference. FTDNA agree with your analysis. They report no match at all to any

Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
For what it¡¯s worth VK202 is actually pretty good for an ancient sample. Here¡¯s the tail of the Y-Report: He doesn¡¯t share any downstream mutations with the 11 A151 men I have BAMs for. James

Thanks James for the screenshot - OK, fully understood ¨C it is ancient DNA after all, though some samples such as VK25 have produced more stellar results ¨C others remain high upstream. Logically,

Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
No coverage means exactly that with NGS tests. There are no reads with which you can make a call. While I have the sample, it¡¯s not currently available to review for some time. The BAMs are on the

Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
Neil, whoever it was who responded to you said ¡®(A151 has no coverage)¡¯. That is not the same as being negative for the mutation. No coverage means that the primers used to ¡®read¡¯ the bases at

Re: Y-DNA Warehouse Tree Tech Demo
Further to below, if FTDNA are correct, and VK202 is not a match for A151, this means that the A151 snip block has split and the tree potentially looks like this:- [cid:image006.png@...]

Ancient bones and dating of the CTS4466 Block
From data on ancient bones (haplotree.info - ancientdna.info) I suggest the age of DF13 is looking like somewhere near 2400 B.C., and from mutation rate considerations for SNPs PLUS STR mutations, the
