Dear Raymond,

Thank you for your work listing ancient DNA from u106.

I was at least briefly excited to see and entry for FGC 3861>FGC14877 only 58 miles away from my earliest male line ancestor who lived in Pateley Bridge Yorkshire.

(I am R-FGC3861> R-FGC14877> R-FGC21340> (FT30022)> BY85211)

However, I see the line is crossed through and I assume it is therefore incorrect. I used the last link which gave me a FEMALE skeleton

S20657

HiSeq 4000

c450-c650

All the best

There are several very old Z18 individuals in this paper, with five of them dated to roughly 2000 BCE.? Once the raw data becomes available, these individuals bear a closer look, to see whether they may break up the Z18 clade, which currently consists of 9 equivalent SNPs. As Iain states, these old DNA results are more likely to belong to what are today smaller (or extinct) clades.

I have uploaded all of the results to the U106 Spreadsheet at:

Hi folks,

There are some interesting results here for us. Whether fortunate or not, there's nothing immediately ground-breaking that leaps out at me - that's good, because it means the new results basically confirm the ideas we already had (see /g/R1b-U106/message/5759 ).

We expect a lot of R-U106 to be involved in the Nordic Bronze Age, and R-Z18 in particular is likely to have migrated furthest north among the early R-U106 haplogroups. So the large number of R-Z18 found within this culture firmly establishes this link between culture and haplogroup. The lack of other R-U106 haplogroups (apart from RISE98's) among the ancient samples from this culture is more surprising. They may well be there, but perhaps they were less important or later arrivals.

The presence of R-Z156 within the La Tene culture equally isn't that surprising. R-Z156 is one of the haplogroups I have long excepted to be more dominant within the core Celtic groups.

Later samples from this paper are from periods where haplogroups are already well mixed, and we're not really at the stage of being able to deal with many of these haplogroups in that much detail.

What will really help is when someone with the necessary time and technical skills can go through the raw data for these tests and see if more accurate haplogroups can be defined.

Cheers,

Iain.

Yes, the samples that have been crossed out are samples found to fall outside of U106

Hi Ray,

On your spreadsheet you had a couple graves from the Gretzinger study listed as FGC11784>S6881 and further downstream, however they've a line through them. Is this due to further analysis showing that was not the case or it can't be said for certain? I fully admit I'm invested in finding any graves with these clades hence my faintest of hopes.

Re: New paper on early Germanic DNA #AncientDNA

 

Hi Ray, all,

Thank you Ray for sharing such a promising paper (with R-U106+ aDNAs in poorly documented countries like France...).

It seems to me that BAM/fastq files are not (yet) available. It is therefore not possible at this time to confirm or refine the haplogroup predictions of these aDNAs.

To determine these Y haplogroups, the researchers in this study used the ISOGG tree, supplemented by YFull data, it seems to me. These two trees are not as complete as that of FTDNA, we could hope that the haplogroup of some of these aDNAs could be refined (or even invalidated in certain cases). FTDNA even compares data from aDNAs to each other, which can sometimes give rise to new branches in the Y tree (probably extinct ones). However, without any fastq file available, we will not be able to learn more from FTDNA. So hopefully these files will be released soon.

Re: New paper on early Germanic DNA #AncientDNA

 

One of the individuals (CGG106838) from?Kaarebjerg Agre, T?rslev Hage, Gerlev Sogn, Zealand, Denmark dates back to just before the RISE98 individual.? This new individual falls under Z301>FGC13959>S9891 and has been c14 dated 2281-2048 calBCE. This individual will likely cause a recalculation in the age of both FGC13959 and S9891 and may even make Z301 a little bit older than its current estimate.

This makes 2 U106+ samples in what we now call Scandivnavia prior to 2000 BCE, so it appears U106 may have early spread to that area.

Hopefully others may be able to look at this individual to double check the clade and the age.

Re: Hg38 to T2T upgrate

 

Hi °ä¾±²¹°ù¨¢²Ô and all.?

I too have done the upgrade and am under S5520.

Not just me, but 9 or 10 McMillans under FGC11674/FGC11696 and its parent FGC11665. While I agree with Dr McDonald's views on this, we have a large family under FGC11674/FGC11696 and several of us did this for entertainment purposes.

I have notes on several new SNPs and the branches the fit somewhere on below FGC11696/FGC11674. I am going to continue to chase these despite knowing better.?

Previous to a recent upgrade, we are the only ones I know of under S5520 that have done the upgrade. Now I see two. A recent Big Y that I assume has been discussed here and a Nebula sample that is coming in. 3 of the McMillan samples that were upgraded are WGS samples, and the best I can tell, have several SNPs not in the Big Y coverage area. I am glad to see the Nebula Sample coming in under S5520 that may clear it up a little and this will help the Big Y sample recently upgraded not too far from each other on the yfull tree.?

The new SNPs above FGC11665 are of little interest to me because they are outside a genealogical timeframe, and we already have large unbroken blocks of SNPs there, I would still be interested to know if a S5520 sample is positive for any of them, so I can update my notes. I guess I will see when the tree is updated.

My understanding is the "T2T" upgrade Y full is using is the CP086569.2 alignment. I believe this is based off a man from the J1 haplogroup. I wish for R1b people they used the CM034974.1 which was constructed from a R1b person. One day I am sure we will have a better test and a R-U106 reference. My thoughts are until we have long read tests this is all just for fun and perhaps we can gain a couple of SNPs that are useful to split branches or tie a few branches together along the way. I am not going to campaign for people to run out and do this upgrade, but I welcome it. For most people at Yfull, you will just get some more SNPs. As more do it, those will be placed as time goes on.?

I think my situation is slightly different. We have around 125/130 Big Y and WGS results in our surname with 75 or so branches.
Because we have several results and tested multiple branches of FGC11674, we now have several CP086569.2 SNPs we have identified to those branches. I tried to order a few SNPs to be available for testing at Yseq, and received a reply that they are only currently developing primers for the Hg38 SNPs at this time. All of this may sound a little crazy (and it probably is) but again, we have around 130 Big Y and WGS tests in the family. I am sure at some point there will be a better upgrade, and when worthwhile FTDNA will probably change references in the future. I have already received 3 SNPs from FTDNA's work on this. FTT8, and the more recent FTT32 and FTT33.?

That being said our testing has identified several new SNPs between FGC11665 and R-S5520<>z156/S264. Maybe they will help someone.?
Here are some notes I have for FGC11665-R-S5520. I have also included 3 SNPs found on my FGC11677 branch where I previously had no private variants. Through tests of known cousins, I know FGC11677 is either my 4th or 5th great grandfather. People that decend from my 4th great grandfather have FGC11677, and a gentleman that comes from my 6th great grandfather does not.

We have WGS tests from 2 more branches of FGC11674 that I will probably get around to realigning at WGS Extract in the future and uploading.?

Kevin I have seven more private YSNPs from the upgrade. That's a total of 12 YSNPs that are specific to my Y line. I will have to wait until Yfull updates their tree to see if it makes a difference to the TMRCA of my main branch.
