Deepclade Haplogroup Tests
Family Tree DNA now offers its Y-DNA customers Deep Clade tests to determine or confirm the exact subclade or branch of their haplogroup. These Deep Clade tests have been updated with new SNPs and haplogroup branches in the 2008 Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic Tree and in subsequent updates to the tree.
Family Tree DNA provides the most comprehensive Deep Clade testing panels available on the market. These tests are available for haplogroups E, G, H, I, J, N, O, Q, and R. The tests begin with the haplogroup predicted based on your DNA sample’s results, and then tests whatever SNPs are necessary in order to determine your precise placement on the haplogroup tree. All SNPs tested will be reported to the customer as they are completed.
The purpose of the Deep Clade test is to confirm your haplogroup assignment and determine where your lineage fits within that haplogroup’s tree. Some haplogroup branches are found within more specific populations and geographic locations. As research progresses, more geographical specificity associated with SNPs will emerge.

To order a Deep Clade test, log in to your account and proceed to the Haplotree section. If there is a Deep Clade test available for your haplogroup, the test will automatically be offered to you. If you have already tested your Deep Clade and new SNPs are available which may be informative for you, the applicable upgrade will be offered to you in the Haplotree section.
