What haplogroup is Irish?
The most common haplogroup in Ireland, R1b3, roughly equivalent to haplogroup 1 in an earlier nomenclature (Hill et al. 2000), is defined by a T→C transition at the M269 SNP (Cruciani et al. 2002).
What haplogroup is R-M269?
R-M269 (also known as R1b1a2) is the most dominant subclade of R-M343 (R1b), which is itself the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in Western Europe. This haplogroup is believed to have originated about 9,500 years ago in the region of the Black Sea, and then spread to Europe very soon thereafter.
What is my haplogroup?
Your haplogroup is a clue to your maternal or paternal ancestry. Your maternal haplogroup is assigned by identifying a set of variants in your mitochondrial DNA. If you are male, your paternal haplogroup is assigned by identifying a set of variants in your Y-chromosome DNA as well.
Which is a sister clade to r-l48?
Sister clades to R-L48 under R-S499 include R-U198 and R-L259. A more up to date tree (but too detailed for comfortable browsing) is the YFull tree; L-48 has its own page.
What’s the correlation between DYS390 and L48 +?
From among those with L48+ results, 90% have DYS390 of 23 or less, while 10% a value of 24 or more. Among those tested L48-, 16% have DYS390 of 23 or less, while 84% a value of 24 or more. Therefore, there seems to be a correlation between values of 23 or lower for DYS390 and L48+, among those tested U106+.
Which is the paternal haplogroup r-l48 / S162?
This project is for people who have tested and been assigned the paternal haplogroup L48/S162 (also known as R1b1a2a1a1a4) or a subgroup of this, and also for people who are believed to have belonged to this paternal haplogroup based on tests done on descendants. L48, also known as S162.
Where does L-48, Z8 + DNA come from?
Perhaps that group who came into the British Isles in the 5th Centure C.E. included the ancestor of our large L-48, Z8+ Lineage from Caithness. It’s still too early to know. Using negative results as proof of a connection is not the best approach, which is why I’m now going to be testing one of these for Z381, Z2 and Z9.
