9/7/2009 - Our I2b1 Roots donor's WTY results are in, and unfortunately he is also L181+ and has no other new SNPs. Because he shares this L181 with our Continental donor, it does not split the Roots and Continental branches as we had hoped it might. These results now place L181 upstream of I2b1 Roots and Continental, and per previous I2* WTY results, downstream of I2*.
What we need to do now is wait for the I2b2 donor's WTY results and see where he stands. If he's also positive for L181, then it's not even unique to I2b1. If he's negative, then we'll go about selectively having other I2b1 people test for it
8/2/2009 - The WTY results for our Continental donor are in, and one new SNP, L-181, has been discovered. It is unknown at this time how this SNP fits in as we are still awaiting the WTY results for the I2* donor and the I2b1 Roots donor. Stay tuned...

5/22/2009 - Subgrouping work is still underway. About another 100 people in the old Cont2 group still need to be run through the haplogroup prediction tool. Please double-check my results for accuracy for your own kits.
5/2/2009 - Reorganization of subgroupings is underway.
5/1/2009 - The Walk the Y Project for I2b1 is now fully funded and underway.
4/21/2009 - I have taken over administration of the I2b1 Project as the former admin no longer was able administer it. Many thanks to Grant for having administered it so well for so long.
Organization will be in a state of flux for awhile. Please bear with me as I try to get my arms around this.
