Data Sink for KurdishDNA.blogspot.com

Onur, one of my readers suggested:


It would be nice if you put together all your useful genetic-related blog data in a data sink such as the one employed by the owner of the Vaedhya blog and update your data sink according to the changes in your blog data, so that it becomes much easier to browse and access your blog data.

So I did exactly that, here is the link for the data sink.

It is also accessible on the right side in the category "DATA".

It also contains STR111 values of more than 5000 individuals from all public project and STR values of more than 5000 individuals from various scientific publications.
Enjoy.

R1a1a STR111 tree

Today, I want to update the STR111 tree of R1a1a that I have presented earlier here and here. I have now collected a much larger number of samples, which makes the tree more complex. Since a lot of individuals in this tree are in the R1a1a and subclades project, I added the group name of all these individuals. Of course, this tree is based on STR data only, so the initial branching of the different SNPs can be off, e.g. Z93+ is split into multiple clusters. However, some clusters are fairly robust in terms of structure and subbranching.

Rectangular tree of R1a1a STR111 (as pdf):

Polar tree of R1a1a STR111 (as pdf):

Due to the size of the tree I split the tree into pieces. Let's look into the details:
As mentioned the initial branching in the STR111 tree is pretty messy with no clear clustering but overlapping of various SNPs. At least N86494 from Belarus with M417- ended up in the pole position. Besides very small clusters from Ireland and England and a mix of Z93+ individuals (L657+ and L657-) from Central Asia and Middle East, the first clear cluster in this tree is "4. A2. Z283+ M458+ L260+ Central European branch, West Slavic subclade", most individuals are from Poland.

Next, the narrow "9. E1. Z93+ Z94+ Z2122+ "Ashkenazi-Levite" cluster" emerges. The closest isolate individual to this R1a1a Ashkenazi-Levite cluster is the Iraqi Kurdish individual H1483. I described this close genetic proximity in some earlier posts (here and here) when STR data were still very limited, but now we have STR111 data of H1483 confirming the predicted proximity.
Other close matches to the Ashkenazi-Levite cluster are 116213 from Palestine and two Scots (162927 and 221184).

On the next two parts, we have the Z280+ individuals forming a lot of clusters, one of them is the cluster "6. J1. Z280+ CTS1211+ (CTS3402+) Southern Baltic type". Within this large mega-cluster a few Z93+ isolated individuals and isolated clusters sneaked in, e.g. the "9. C7. Z93+ Z94+ L657- Z2122-, Arabic II" cluster, and the "9. C5. Z93+ Z94+ L657-(?), Bashkirs" cluster.


Next, we have no real clustering but a mess...


Next, the nice "Z280+ CT1211+ (CTS3402-) Carpathian cluster" comes up with a clear cut between P278+ and P278- individuals.


Next, the second group of M458+ individuals appears (L260- only) forming a nice cluster. This "Z283+ M458+ L1029+ L260-" is a Central European branch.



Next, we have a mix of individuals from both major branches (Z93 and Z283) followed by CTS3402+ individuals from Eastern Europe.

Next, we have a mix, no real clustering.

Next, we have Z284+ individuals forming a cluster:
Next, we have the L664+ individuals forming a large nice cluster. Based on the current R1a SNP tree, L664+ was a very early split.  Most of these individuals are from the UK and Ireland.


Next, the Z92+ cluster emerges with people mostly from Eastern Europe.

Next, we have the Z284+ individuals forming two clusters, the Z288+/Z287+ cluster and a cluster of Z287- individuals.



Finally, the last cluster in this this tree: Z284+, L448+.


If you are getting confused by all these abbreviations, then this is okay. For clarification, I can recommend this schematic tree made by Michal.

Haplogroup J1 (L222.2-) tree STR111

Today, I want to present the haplogroup J1 tree with STR111 data. Most of the tested individuals are from the Arabian peninsula, form a narrow cluster and have the haplogroup J1b2b1 (aka J1c3d2) L222.2+, which could be seen in my previous J1 tree. I excluded those L222.2+ from the new tree, and Roberto Raciti helped me collecting all J1 L222.2- individuals with STR111 data (N=179).

Here are the results.

I highlighted Anatolian cluster in cyan to turquoise.
I highlighted Jewish clusters in orange to brownish.
I highlighted Arab clusters in pink to purple.

Full mtDNA sequence of haplogroup U1a1

Today, I want to present the latest results of haplogroup U1a1. Haplogroup U1a1 got my attention a while ago, since we have already three Kurdish individuals with U1a1 I thought to give it another post.

Kurds with U1a1:
1x U1a1 (Zaza)
1x U1a1 (Sorani)
1x U1a1 with A16182C, A16183C, T16189C, T16249C (=U1a1) (Kurds from Georgia; Comas et al., 2000)

For the first time, we have the full mtDNA sequence of a Kurd (Sorani) with U1a1.


Of course, I compared the data of this Kurdish individual with other complete U1a1 mtDNA sequences. It turns out that he has the G9575A mutation, so he belongs to U1a1a.

Based on mtDNA haplogroup predictor his mtDNA turned out to be haplogroup U1a1a.

Best mtDNA Haplogroup Matches:
1) U1a1a
Defining Markers for haplogroup U1a1a:
HVR2: 73G 263G 285T 385G
CR: 750G 1438G 2218T 2706G 3158.1T 3591A 4769G 4991A 6026A 7028T 7581C 8860G 9575A 11467G 11719A 12308G 12372A 12879C 13104G 13422G 14070G 14364A 14766T 15148A 15326G 15954C
HVR1: 16189C 16249C

Marker path from rCRS to haplogroup U1a1a (plus extra markers):
H2a2a1(rCRS) 263G ⇨ H2a2a 8860G 15326G ⇨ H2a2 750G ⇨ H2a 4769G ⇨ H2 1438G ⇨ H 2706G 7028T ⇨ HV 14766T ⇨ R0 73G 11719A ⇨ R 11467G 12308G 12372A ⇨ U 285T 12879C 13104G 14070G 15148A 15954C 16249C ⇨ U1 2218T 14364A 16189C ⇨ U1a'c 4991A 6026A 7581C ⇨ U1a 385G 3158.1T 3591A 13422G ⇨ U1a1 9575A ⇨ U1a1a (309.1C) (315.1C) (523-) (524-) 573.1C 573.2C 2836T 4659A 10283G (16182C) (16183C) (16519C)

Good Match! Your results also had extra markers for this haplogroup:
Matches(32): 73G 263G 285T 385G 750G 1438G 2218T 2706G 3158.1T 3591A 4769G 4991A 6026A 7028T 7581C 8860G 9575A 11467G 11719A 12308G 12372A 12879C 13104G 13422G 14070G 14364A 14766T 15148A 15326G 15954C 16189C 16249C
Extras(5): (309.1C) (315.1C) (523-) (524-) 573.1C 573.2C 2836T 4659A 10283G (16182C) (16183C) (16519C)


Compared to other U1a1 individuals he has one unique mutation: A10283G.



The Sorani Kurd is sharing two mutations with the Indian samples HM156682(India) Govindaraj: C2836T and G4659A, so this seems to be a new branch of U1a1a.

The latest complete U1a1 sequence is an individual from the Behar study and one individual from Finland:
142783     Britta Laurintytar Kruskopp, Kannus? Suomi
Both belong to U1a1b, a different branch (highlighted in green).

Your private information in FTDNA projects is not safe

Today, I want to present you one out of many big downsides of FTDNA, a company that charges hundreds of dollars for very little genetic information and no customer service.

After a short (and most likely my last) discussion with FTDNA administrator lgmayka at http://eng.molgen.org he clarified that not only FTDNA employees but also volunteer administrators of FTDNA projects with unknown background and unknown history have access to private information of all project participants including name, postal address, phone number, and email address. Sometimes these projects include thousands of FTDNA customer.  FTDNA has more than 200,000 customers, many of those joined FTDNA projects without realizing this ridiculous lack of privacy.

Your private information in FTDNA projects is not safe. In case you want to keep your privacy at FTDNA you have to unsubscribe from these projects immediately. 

This lack of privacy at FTDNA might be less critical for a "John Smith from Kentucky" than for a "Abu Saeed from Pakistan".

If you "just" encrypt your personal information at FTDNA you risk loosing access to your own genetic data since FTDNA tends to block people and email addresses with no contact information (yes, they might change/block your log in password, too).

Kurdish mtDNA data VII

Today, I want to present data from Comas et al., 2000, Quintana-Murci et al., 2004, and Al-Zahery et al., 2012:

Only the HVR-1 region was sequenced in Comas et al., 2000 and Quintana-Murci et al., 2004, so the information is very limited. I tried to extract as much as possible. Al-Zahery et al., 2012 sequenced HVR-1 and HVR-2 region of mtDNA.

Comas et al., 2000 (N=29):
6x H
2x H with T16311C
1x H with T16311C, C16256T, T16352C (=H14a +T16311C )
1x H with C16218T (=H1ag1a or H1aq1 or H20)
