RussiaDNA Project- Background

Background

Welcome to Russia!

RussiaDNA Project is organized for studying haplotypes of	Slavic, Turkic, Finnic, Norse, Baltic
and any other people, whose ancestors lived in the territory of medieval:	Rus', Rus Khaganate, Kievan Rus', Golden Horde, Muscovy Kingdom, Novgorod Republic, Kingdom of 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-USSR 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:	Russian Journal of Genetic Genealogy
MolGen has its knowledge database implemented as a single easy-to-use:	MolGenWiki
MolGen also provides support for external DNA-related resources – for example:	Semargl's Map of Haplotypes Vadim Urasin's YPredictor

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.
