haplogroup

Hello to everyone, i already asked in another thread about R-L2. Now i'm curious about my mtdna, u4b, i did a 23andme test for see it. My mom is romanian but i saw is not so common this mtdna, can someone explain me what kind of mtdna is u4b and his story? Online i can't find a lot about this...

Hello everyone i'm new, i did a 23andme test, i still didn't do the big Y from yseq or familytree, and i found out i have R-l2 Y Dna haplogroup. Can someone explain from where it came from if i'm in central calabria in italy, and from which zone my paternal ancestors came from? Also because in...

As far as I understand, haplogroups are formed by common mutations on the Y chromosome. When an ancestor has a mutation and passes it on to his sons. What I am wondering is why today there are only R1a, R1b and R2? The ancestor who had the mutation for haplogroup R would not have had just one...

Hi all! Would like to know that what kind of ancestry my father's U3b2 mt-dna can mean as a Hungarian. What are its possible sources?

Want to know more about this haplogroup (it belongs to one of my close friends). He got it from 23&me and it's 1 in 1300 so I'm not surprised that I have a hard time googling about it. Can anyone enlighten me? Where it's common, what's its y-tree on yfull? Thank you all for the answers in advance!

Hello, I just came across this very old but interesting article. It is a study done by the University of Oxford, and it demonstrates that there are certain groups of people across the world that can be tested to be "LY1 positive" with having a LINE-1 retrotransposon insertion in the centromere...

Here is the Y-SNP calls for Barcin 31 https://genetiker.wordpress.com/y-snp-calls-for-barcin-31/. According to the link, Barcin 31 is positive for A00-FGC27424/YP3511, A00-M8129, A0-T-YP1873, B-M8633-M182-M150-M6473, G-P287-P15-L1259-L30-CTS1180/PF3259/M3244, IJK-PF3500/M2696, J-PF4513...

Newbie here. How does a new Y-dna haplogroup generated? For example like how does Y-dna A become Y-dna B and so on? Clarifications, please.

Recently thought of this wild hypothesis: although the cats(feline) and dogs(canine) we see today are two totally different species, there actually existed a common ancestor which both felines and canines descended from known as the Miacidae, or the Miacis, a small, weasel-like insect-eating...
