[FONT=&quot]The study conducted by Koç University is based on the samples collected for ALS disease, the samples collected irrespective of their ethnicity are referred to collectively as "Turkish" in the study.

someone in anthrogenica ( began a spreadsheet with those samples which he will updated daily gedmatch )(y)
what he says: [/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Here is an "ethnicity prediction" spreadsheet where we add each sample's ADMIXTURE and oracle results. You can see the GEDmatch IDs/autosomal DNA profiles, Y-DNA and mtDNA haplogroups. They are being constantly updated[/FONT]
BTW, there are near 800 samples and all of them are WGS. AFAIK, Yfull team is going to upload all of them[FONT=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]:)[/FONT]

p.s
that is great as we will have a chance also to see the autosomal profile of the individual and not only
his y dna and mtdna :cool-v:
 
caught my eye in the spreadsheet link above
the presence of N-P43 branches ( so it is not only autosomal influence of the turkish tribes but also influence in y haplogroup):unsure:
https://www.yfull.com/tree/N-P43/


p.s
for people here
the SRS id in most of samples in yfull are those from the Koç University research who were uploaded to yfull:)
 
Is this study about modern samples? Do they have ancient samples as well or?

Unfortunately no ancients
Only modern samples
They are all close to 800 diagnosed with Als disease :sad-2:
who were WGS by the turkish university:unsure:

P.s
As supreeme mention in the j-L70 thread
They are a mix bag by there autosomal profile some are antolian turks, some are balkan turks, some are kurds , armenian, alawites :unsure:

Yes i ve noticed the Samples appearing in mass on Y-full.
But if that's the Totality of the N lineages they have, then it is still very small % compared to the total and in line with previous studies.
Around 20/800, 2-3%. In fact it's less than what the previous studies gave.

Back in the day
Chinengolu 2004 paper found 3.8% N
out of 523 males...:unsure:
Now in this research
I don't think leper from anthrogenica uploaded all the male samples to yfull yet....
So we cant say there are only 20/800
As we dont know how much of those 800
Are males and how much are females:unsure:
P.s
Either way it with no doubt one of the turkish signitures
Maybe also some beanches of Q :cool-v:

Many of the other haplotypes are quite dispersed and don't respresent any sort of big pulse migration associated with incoming Turks, but some N subclades have a TMRCA in Antiquity and being very clearly associated with early Turkic and later Turkish expansions. Also, among Anatolian Turkish proper the relative proportion is way higher than in the total sample.

The ethnicity estimates are very important, because a large portion of the samples comes not from actual Anatolian Turks. Like the E-V13 can be grouped in Balkan/European/Slavic origin, Balkan Turkish and Kurdish. Among Turks proper it seems to be very rare. Just one fairly basal, lonely sample:

I feel somewhat strange about the fact that a large portion of the tested suffer from ALS probably? Feels sad.
 
How do you explain the presence
Of e-v13 in 2 kurdish individuals in the spreadsheet?
Is it possible some branch of e-v13 is more indo-iranian than a back migration from balkan to asia minor ?

There is a connection between Daco-Thracians and Iranians, beginning with the Thraco-Cimmerian horizon and the Scythians. Through this connection, some E-V13 seem to have travelled, fairly early on, on the steppe. Some made it to China, like we had a Chinese tester recently, there was another one on YFull, which was deleted. Both from provinces with higher Iranian-related ancestry and R1a, either directly from Iranians, or through later Turkic people. My best guess is that this explains the majority of Caucasian and Kurdish E-V13, while Greek transmitted is a minority. The low frequency in Turkish Anatolia supports this scenario as well.
 
Sound logical
Here this research:
https://www.researchgate.net/figure...in-the-examined-Iranian-groups_fig6_229427983
found 5.1% e-v13 among kurds from iran
P.s
Also if i am not wrong recent paper
With ancient dna samples from scythians
Found 1 e-v13 individual in south kazakhstan

Even among Iranians Zoroastrians have more than the average, which speaks for itself. However, the only number I can't explain easily is that of the Assyrians. If its no recent founder effect or sampling bias, its quite strange. They are the smallest sample though (N = 9!), so this might be a sheer randomness.

If it came from the Balkans in the last 3 000 years, i can see few possibilities:
1)the Cimmerian Invasion
2)Via Galatians
3)Greecoroman settlement and gradual drifting
4)The Slavic resettlement from Greece to Asia Minor during the Byzantine era
5)Janissary or Slave soldier corps stationed on the Borders with the Persian Empire recruited(naturally) from the Balkans

True there should be a breakdown by ethnicity for more clarity.
Some N could have come from other sources too. Some via the Mongols.
If we believe the legends hundreds of thousands of Crimean resettled in Anatolia at a time that its population was few millions.
Similar event occurred little later with Dobruja Tatars, and of course there were the migrations of Caucasian Turks towards turkey during the Russian-Turkish and Russian-Persian wars. Crimean and Dobrujan tatars had high rates of N lineages, which makes them the only candidates that could have elevated the N frequency in Turkey.

There is plenty of common balkan y dna in turkey and also further into middle east. This isnt just through ottoman era but also from before as balkan people inhabitated turkey (especially greeks) during byzantine and werent completely replaced. Before that there were plenty of wars and exchange of land in that region including greek/alexander the great conquests

I also believe a lot of balkan people came through anatolia into balkans during bronze age so of course there would be remnants still in the area
 
interesting that only 12 X T ydna are on the spreadsheet ( 10 x T1a1 branch and 2 x T1a2 branch )

I wonder if there was any Kurds or armenians tested within Turkey


TR-E1 T1a2 - Hv12a1

TR-N1 T1a2 - K1b1c

It is possible some of them are kurds or armenians
Who were part of there 440 male samples...
The samples are made of poor Als disease
People... :sad-2:
All across turkey ....
You can see from the spreadsheet i posted
In the my first post:

https://5iqtethmlu466hybm4gxuab2oe-...PtNDuwVabSXD7OxdFMTYQGvfjq7Z-L6IiII0/htmlview

....( from anthrogenica user
Who uploaded many of them to gedmatch)
That autosomally some of them are kurds , armenians. Alwites, turks of balkan background,
Or turks of heritage from mixed regions:unsure:
 
TR-N is Northern Anatolia/Pontic region and there are in this region alone 3 E-V13:
TR-N85 Male H1c13 E1b1b1a1b1a6~
TR-N86 Male HV1a1 E1b1b1a1b1a
TR-N87 Male HV1b3b E1b1b1a1b1a

Isn't that based on the 2019-2020 ISOGG-tree?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...TuEc7_Z_mxC2-gjU5JYkMkkRcE/edit#gid=149564181

TR-N85 = E1b1b1a1b1a6~
= https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Z5016/
= https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Y90461/ ?

Another E-Z5016 from West Anatolia:

TR-W50 Male V7a E1b1b1a1b1a6a1~
TR-W51 Male H2a5b E1b1b1a1b1a
TR-W52 Male H6a1a2a E1b1b1a1b1a

TR-W50 = https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Z16988*/

E-Z5016 and so far unknown subclades of V13 seem to be common in Western and Northern Anatolia, former Greek territories.

On the other hand, there is also a Kurdish V13 group in the East:

TR-E105?
https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-FGC94882*/

Would fit with a related clade from Iraq. They didn't migrate alone - from the steppe with Iranians?


How can we identify the sample from the study on YFull, has YFull made a list of the uploaded sample identities?

of the 2 x T1a2 of my branch...............one is snp p322 which I am negative for ..........he is noted as black sea greek

other
is linked with viking sample VK398

I was surprised there was so little of the T ydna when a paper a few years ago had 20% of T in eastern Turkey

i was comparing to this older paper
https://investigativegenetics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13323-014-0015-6

where further notes indicated a union with ancient Urartu kingdom and their Alarodian languages
