Project Results:

Summary of Results:
We are quite the diverse group! We now have three distinct Yeo Lines. The 'R1B1' haplotype is generally associated with Western Europe, the 'I' haplotype is considered Nordic and the 'R1A1' haplotype is assotiated with Eastern Europe. Three of the individuals tested showed great genetic similarity with only two markers having different values in the thirty-six point test. Further testing of other branches is needed.
