Haplogroup J2 STR111 tree

Today, I want to present the STR111 tree of haplogroup J2, and I used the same method as before.

 In a previous attempt I analyzed 95 J2 individuals with STR111 data. The new trees are based on 223 individuals.
The nomenclature is based on ISOGG 2010:

The light green cluster is Jewish. Based on the ISOGG 2010 nomenclature these individuals have the haplogroup J2a4b1 (M92, M260); in the latest ISOGG 2012 nomenclature M92, M260 is named as J2a1b1.

Haplogroup G STR111 tree

Today, I want to present the STR111 tree of haplogroup G, and I used the same method as before.

Haplogroup G is quiet common in the Caucasus region and neighboring region, however, it also reached Europe in ancient times. The most famous European individual with haplogroup G is Ötzi the Iceman who lived 3,300 BCE in South Tyrol.
Different subbranches can be found in presented trees below:
- G1 (blue) is dominating in the Middle East
- G2c (purple) is a very narrow branch with very little STR variability. Haplogroup G2c is mostly found in Eastern Europe (Poland, Lithuania, Belorussia)
- G2a1a (dark yellow) is dominated by individuals from North Ossetia and Georgia (probably South Ossetia). Joseph Stalin has this haplogroup.
- G2a3b1 (orange) is the most commonly tested subbranch of haplogroup G. G is found from Caucasus to Ireland and from Caucasus to the Arabian Peninsula.

Contrary to others, conclusions based on haplotype trees, even at STR111 level, are mostly erroneous and heavily influences by subjective believes. Sometimes, these trees do not fit perfectly with haplogroups, sometimes they do. I don't want to participate in such guesstimates, I let the trees speak for themselves, and most of my comments are primarily descriptive.

Haplogroup I STR111 tree

Today, I want to present the STR111 tree of haplogroup I, and I used the same method as before. Again, most of the individuals are European but there also some individuals from Turkey (Tur-), Iran (Irn-), Iraq (Irq-), Armenia (Arm-). A total of 862 individuals are included in the trees presented below.

Due to the size of the tree details can be only seen in the actual pdf files.

Haplogroup N STR111 tree

Today, I want to present the STR111 tree of haplogroup N, and I used the same method as before. Again, most of the individuals are European (mostly haplogroup N1c1). A total of 124 individuals are included in the trees presented below.

Haplogroup Q STR111 tree

Today, I want to present the haplogroup Q STR111 tree. To do so I used the same method as before. The number of individuals is fairly small (N=47) and the ethnic background of these tested individuals is mostly European, so the whole diversity of haplogroup Q is not covered. However, some observation can be still made.
The clearest split within haplogroup Q can be seen between haplogroup Q1a and Q1b, and this split is visible with using STR111 data only.

Most of the Q1b individuals from Europe have paternal Ashkenazi ancestry, and they form a cluster (red). The Huff/Hoff family from the Netherlands (purple) are represented with multiple individuals (Unk-191247, Unk-159126, Net-166843, Net-133381, Unk-127754, Net-169897, Ger--81111, Net-189374, Unk-165855, Unk-156072). From the Huff individual Unk-156072 we know that they have haplogroup Q1b1a. In this tree the Huff/Hoff family from the Netherlands is forming the second cluster within Q1b.
Contrary, haplogroup Q1a2-M25 does not show a clear clustering, which highlights its age. 

Haplogroup Q1a3a1 (cyan-blue) is "Native American". All Q1a3a1 individuals in the presented trees below are from Northern America.

Haplogroup E STR111 tree

Today, I want to present the haplogroup E tree with STR111 data. I used the same method as before. Most individuals belong the subbranch E1b1. Two individuals from Poland seem to be outliers. They show clear differences in their STR values (e.g. DYS532=9) to other E1b1 individuals.
STR values are mostly in agreement with the SNP status making the presented STR trees a nice tool to get an overview over the variety of haplogroup E1b1. However, some STR values of neighboring SNPs are so close to each other that no clear STR clustering is visible (e.g. E1b1a, E1b1a7a and E1b1a8a).

So far as I know no Kurd is included in this tree but there is one Alevi Kurmanji Kurd from Dersim (KD002) with haplogroup E1b1b1c1a-M84 (dark blue).
Cinnioglu et al, 2004 described two types of haplogroup E in Eastern Anatolia: E1b1b1c1-M34 (light blue) and E1b1b1a1-M78 (pink); underlying SNPs were not analyzed.
