Project News
The Project was started on 7th March 2008.
As at 20th April 2008 we have 11 members with positive results for SRY2627 and one more who is waiting for SNP test results.
Two members have tested positive for the new SNP known as P312 or rs34276300 which appears to be shared by a majority of R1b1b individuals. It suggests that there is a "western" variety of R1b1b of which R-SRY2627 is one of several subgroups.
NB now that we have two confirmed positive results for P312 we can be confident that anyone who is SRY2627+ is also P312+. Members of the R-SRY2627 Project are therefore advised not to test for this SNP. If you are interested in further testing please consider ordering from the Advanced Orders Y-STR panels.
