R-DF21 and Subclades - News


Dr. Jim Wilson (DF21+ and a member of the Little Scots Cluster) found a number of new SNPs in a whole genome sequence of his own DNA. These include:
  • S424, S426
    Any R-DF21* group could be S424+ and/or S426+
  • S190, S308, S309, S427
    Are believed to be roughly equivalent to the Little Scots Cluster
    Additional testing is needed to determine whether these four SNPs are actually equivalent; one or more of these could split the current Little Scots Cluster
  • S421 S422 S302 S303
    SNPs private to Dr. Wilson's extended family
  • S420
    SNP private to Dr. Wilson
At the current point in time, the above SNPs are only available as part of a comprehensive Y-SNP test from Dr. Wilson's firm. (Dr. Wilson noted that previous customers of EthnoAncestry can obtain a 10 pounds price discount by contacting them before ordering.)

Some 400 Y-SNPs are included in the test, including these SNPs which under located under R-L21:
