Project Background


Back Soon...



Introduction

In early 2008, the new y-Chromosome Consortium yDNA SNP tree was introduced by Karafet 2008. The new tree changed the topography of the I Haplogroup. It also introduced P109 as a newly discovered subclade.

  • IJ
    • I {M170, M258, P19, P38, P212, U179}
      • I*
      • I1 {M253, M307,M450, P30, P40}
        • I1*
        • I1a {M21}
        • I1b {M227}
          • I1b*
          • I1b1 {M72}
        • I1c {P109}
        • I1d {P259}
      • I2 {M438 aka P215}
    • J {12f2.1, M304, P209}

As positive results from P109 accumulate, its geography should become apparent.


Standards of practice

As a Haplogroup Project, The I1c (I-P109) yDNA Haplogroup Project serves
the Genetic Genealogy by:

  • Exploring the history of the subclade since its members' most distant
    shared ancestor.

  • Tracking the geography the subclade.

  • Examining the age of the subclade.

The project is open to all Family Tree DNA clients who meet one of these
qualifications:

  • Have tested positive for P109 at Family Tree DNA.

  • Have tested positive for P109 at another lab and send a copy of their
    results certificate to project administration.

  • Have a yDNA match who shares a paper trail ancestor in under eleven generations.

If this describes your kit or a kit that you have proxy rights for, you may join by following this link and filling in your kit number and password. You do not need to order a new kit.


In addition to the Family Tree DNA Administrator's Guidelines, the project shall:

  • Inform all project members before allowing their results to be used outside of the project.

  • Inform all project members of policy changes.

News

The I1c (I-P109) yDNA Haplogroup Project is created.

It is August 22, 2008. I find myself at ground zero for this new project.
It is the first time in a long time that I have had a project this small. That
shall change with time. Meanwhile I will savor the ability to focus on getting
everything just right.

The Sizzling Summer Sale Extended to September 30,
2008

All orders
for the Sizzling Summer Sale need to be paid for by 23:59 on Sept. 30, 2008.

The Sale Prices Are:
Y-DNA12 orders include a FREE mtDNA test (Y-DNA12+mtDNA promotion price of $99; normally $189)
Y-DNA25 orders include a FREE mtDNA test (Y-DNA25+mtDNA promotion price of $148; normally $238)
Y-DNA37 orders price REDUCED to $119 (normally $189)
Y-DNA37+mtDNAPlus orders price REDUCED to $189 (normally $339)
Y-DNA67+mtDNAPlus orders price REDUCED to $288 (normally $409)
mtDNAPlus price REDUCED to $149 (normally $189)

To make it easier for everyone to enjoy the sale prices Emily Aulicino has offered to let everyone order through her blog. She says that if you can not find a surname or geographic project you may use the GFO's project. Here are her instructions:

"Ordering a test from Emily's Blog:
To order a DNA test and receive the reduced price...
1. Go to: http://genealem-geneticgenealogy.blogspot.com/
2. Go to the bottom right and click on the FTDNA icon.
3. Where it says SEARCH on the right side, type in GFO
4. On the next page, click on GFO
5. Complete the form. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on JOIN.
Of course, one can order this same way and put in any existing surname project where you see GFO.
GFO is a local genealogical society and you do not have to be a member.
Hope this helps and thanks for ordering via the blog."

If you are having problems with the website during high demand periods you may order by calling Family Tree DNA directly. Their number is (713) 868-1438. Unlike many companies, they have real people who answer their phones. You may also order by contacting Ashley.
Ashley will also be able to help you order by invoice so that you my pay by check or money order.

Just remember to get your payment in by the end of the sale.

Terminology
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid is the storage unit for all living things. It
is made up of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T), and is held together by a combination of esthers, phosphates, and sugars. Although DNA
contains genes much of it is structural. DNA Genealogy utilizes these structural and non-coding regions.
Mutation
A mutation is any change in one of the base pairs of DNA.
Maximum
This is the upper bound or highest value in a range of results.
Mean
This is the average that most of us use in daily life. It is found by
finding the sum of a group of and dividing it by the number in the group.
Median
This form of average gives us the middle score from a group of values.
Minimum
This is the lower bound or lowest value in a range of results.
Mode
This is the third type of average. It tells us, given a sample, what
value occurs most often.
Mutation Rate
Mutation rates for STRs and SNP are predictions of how likely a mutation
is to happen over a length of time. They should not be considered set or
predictable like the ticking of a clock. Individual mutations are unpredictable
like the number of times a year one forgets the car keys. They can be plotted
over time though to create a backwards dating system with a reliability
range. For the first 37 markers the I1c Project uses the mutation rates from
Chandler 2006.

Please reference that work for confidence intervals and other details.
SNP
A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism is a change to a single position in
DNA. That is a point in DNA that had read TTAGATA might now read TTAGACA.
Standard Deviation
Calculated as the square root of the variance, the standard deviation
of a population tells us how much the values vary about the mean.
STR
A Short Tandem Repeat is a pattern of DNA that is repeated. GATA is
a common repeat and a three repeat long segment might be CAGATAGATAGATATT.
y-Chromosome
This is one of a male's 23rd chromosome pairs. While females have two
x-Chromosomes that they inherit from both parents men have one y-Chromosome
that they inherit from their father and one x-Chromosome that they inherit
from their mother.
