Project Background

<br><B>R1b1*</b> is a paragroup, a haplogroup consisting of folks who are P25+ but are not R1b1b, R1b1c, or any other currently defined subclade of R1b1.



The R1b1* project is open to anyone who is known or believes themselves likely to be in haplogroup R1b1*. This can be ascertained using either SNP or STR results. It is not necessary to have both qualifications: one or the other is sufficient.



The SNPs which would establish a participant as R1b1* are P25, M18, M269, M335, and M73: you should be P25+, M18-, M269-, M335-, and M73-.



The STR criteria is, by its nature, a little less clear. Generally, most of our participants have a predicted haplogroup of R1b, R1b1, or R1b1c in conjunction with DYS438=11 and one of the following: DYS426=11, DYS454=12, or DYS464a=12.



Also, most of our participants are within a genetic distance of 15 from the modal haplotypes of one of the identified R1b1* clusters. I will soon create ysearch IDs to facilitate the use of this comparison, but for now you can view the clusters at the following URLs:

Also, there is a phylogenetic tree using the same color-coding as the tables which shows the relationship of the various R1b1* clusters to each other:

A somewhat simplified view is also available (this one does not require Adobe Acrobat):

Also, I have produced a median joining network that illustrates the relationship of the clusters.
