Re: #AncientDNA - Merovingian period in Flanders (Belgium) #AncientDNA
Hi Shane, Yes, indeed, it is entirely possible to check the status of an aDNA sample for SNPs of known downstream clades of R-FGC17460. This can be done from the BAM file (hg19 or hg38?), or by

Re: #AncientDNA - Merovingian period in Flanders (Belgium) #AncientDNA
Ewenn,Thanks for the heads up on the new paper. I've already read most of it. It's pretty cool to read about a burial that is part of my paternal lineage. If I understand correctly, KO015 also had the

Re: Y111 STR counts for U106
It's been very interesting to look at the STR frequencies. I have over 5000 matches at Y12 but only a few at Y37 (other than several known Y 5th cousins).? ?I've wondered why the steep decline and

Re: Y111 STR counts for U106
Way back in ancient DNA times DYF371X results did appear to support some branching under Z326.? Overlaying DYF371X results on top of the current branch structure would be an interesting exercise.? I

Re: Y111 STR counts for U106
Thank you, Martin, for sharing this. I went through and put in my own STRs, found those values where my numbers were not common, and finally compared those results with a my BigY matches using the

Re: Y111 STR counts for U106
Thanks Martin. And I¡¯m glad you included the ZERO counts. On my leg of U106, we our all DYS425=0, which evidently formed about 1500BCE with Z326 haplogroup. But that ZERO itself doesn¡¯t tell the

Re: Should I upgrade to Y37- BIGY Y700 ?
Hi Robert,I have found when working with autosomal, that it is much easier to sort matches that come from my mother (over 5000 matches) and father (over 7000 matches) rather than using my own dna

Re: Should I upgrade to Y37- BIGY Y700 ?
Hi Wayne - I was lumping STRs in with structural variants, since I think the applicability will be the same. Sure, we should be able to get the "original 111" without a separate test, but
