Haplogroup T STR111 tree

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

The number of individuals that tested all 111 STR values is fairly small (N=66). Still, I think that some clades are clearly visible, even without using any SNP information.

The nomenclature at FTDNA is based on ISOGG 2011, however, not exactly, e.g. L453, L454 are not labeled as T1 only, not as T1a:

T   L206, L445, L452, L455, M184/Page34/USP9Y+3178, M193, M272, Page129
•     T*   -
•     T1   M70/Page46, Page78
•    •     T1*   -
•    •     T1a   L162/Page21, L299, L453, L454
•    •     •     T1a*   -
•    •     •     T1a1   L208/Page2
•    •     •    •     T1a1*   -
•    •     •    •     T1a1a   M320
•    •     •    •     T1a1b   P77
•    •     •    •     T1a1c   P330
•    •     •    •     T1a1d   P321
•    •     •    •     •     T1a1d*   -
•    •     •    •     •     T1a1d1   P317
•    •     T1b   L131
•    •     •     T1b*   -
•    •     •     T1b1   P322, P328
•    •     •    •     T1b1*   -
•    •     •    •     T1b1a   P327

Roots of Haplogroup R1b: STR111 tree

Today, I want to present the STR111 tree of haplogroup R1b, and I used the same method as before.
Due to the large number of individuals having haplogroup R1b I decided to focus only on the roots of this haplogroup. This is the biggest tree I created so far with a total of 1141 individuals.

Most of these individuals are from the UK and Ireland.

Next, I decided to exclude all samples with US or unknown ancestry, I ended up with 738 individuals, still a huge tree. Because of the size I still cannot use FITCH for a "fine-scale" tree but "only" NJ tree at SplitsTree.

Finally,  I decided to exclude all samples with US, UK, Irish or unknown ancestry, the vast majority of samples. I ended up with 103 individuals. Here, FITCH was used and showed a much better tree.

Biogeographical Ancestry using Dodecad Globe13 data

Today, I want to use Globe13 data of the Dodecad project to determine the biogeographical ancestry of all Dodecad participants. Due to the large amounts of individuals (N=1043) I will just present the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of each individual.

Spreadsheet is available here.

For Middle Easterners, I created a map in googlemaps, see below:

Additionally, I created Neighbor-joining trees of all reference populations. The distance matrix for these trees is based on adjusted/weighted distances, not on pure Euclidean distances; the distances are adjusted based on the Fst values (Dodecad provided Fst values) of the 13 components.

I also created trees of all individuals and all reference populations.
