Haplogroup V mtDNA Project
If your mtDNA test is haplogroup V or one of it's subgroups you are welcome to join. The project also includes testers who are HV0 with marker 16298C.
Please note: You must give project administrators 'Limited' or 'Full' access to get help, otherwise your results and information is hidden (and there is little point in being a member).
Please open your Coding Region
If you have completed the mtFull test (FMS), please consider sharing your Coding Region results with the project administrators. The coding region results are not shown on the project page and will not be made public, and by default they are also hidden from the project administrators. The coding region results are essential for identifying your lowest level daughter group, for estimating the age of each daughter group, for identifying new subgroups.
To share your coding region results with the project administrators:
1. Log in with your Kit Number and password
2. Click on your Name in the top right corner and select Account Settings (1st menu option)
3. Click on the PROJECT PREFERENCES tab (4th tab across)
4. Scroll down to the Coding Region Sharing section
5. Next to Opt in to Sharing , ensure the button is set to ON to share your mtDNA coding region data
