RussiaDNA Project- Background

Background

RussiaDNA Project is organized for studying haplotypes of Slavic, Turkic, Finnic, Norse, Baltic  and any other people, whose ancestors lived in the territory of  ancient:

Rus',
Rus' Khaganate,
Kievan Rus',
Golden Horde,
Muscovy Kingdom,
Novgorod Republic,
Lithuania;

after it:
Russian Empire,
Soviet Union;

and nowadays

Russian Federation.

But with the course of time the project has grown out of its initial purpose. And all this thanks to MolGen forum support (Russian as common language for any ex-SSSR people, English as language for international conversations).

MolGen is a forum uniting specialists in DNA genealogy, phylogeneticists, pop geneticists, professional historians andlinguists, and also all the people who are interested in their past in thewidest sense (DNA testing and study, genealogy and history)

MolGen has its own journal devoted to genetic genealogy - The Russian Journal of Genetic Genealogy

MolGen has its knowledge database implemented as a single easy-to-use MolGen-Wiki resource

MolGen also provides supportfor external DNA-related resources – for example - Map of Haplotypes

Now RussiaDNA is not only geographic, but a phylogenetic project supported by the Russian MolGen forum. Already now haplogroups:

E1b1b1,

I1,

I2,

N1c1

R1a1

are thoroughly studied and our work is in progress.

If you join the project, our forum specialists in Y-DNA phylogeny can help you in studying your haplotype.

Welcome to Russia!
