Note 2: Y-DNA Haplogoups in green are confirmed by SNP analysis; those in black are predicted by Family Tree DNA from DYS and other data.
The columns labeled 1 to 12 in the above table represent the various markers or loci where "Short Tandem Repeat (STR)" values were measured, with the DYS identification number for each particular locus listed. Values are the total number of repeats at each locus. The particular set of an individual's STR repeat values is considered to be the "haplotype" for that person. The Haplogroups in the table have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual's Y-DNA Alleles....they are not derived from SNP tests.
The STR marker DYS numbers labeled
red
have shown a faster mutation rate than the average, and therefore these
markers are very helpful at splitting lineages into sub sets, or branches,
within a family tree.
