Jim, Would it be possible to list the FGS sequences that make up each clade of J? I am particularly interested in the 25 of the J1c1 cluster plus any others...
Dennis: The significant portion of the matrix I used to develop the classification tree is available in the files section in a file called J_Hg_Matrix.pdf. Not...
Hi Jim, Thank you, yes that was what I was looking for the "AY339583(Finland) Moilanen Haplogroup J1c..." type database numbers that I can use in Greasemonkey....
I am proud to announce that my paper on "Subclades of mtDNA Haplogroup J" has been accepted for publication in the Spring 2008 issue of the Journal of Genetic...
Hey, just read the paper briefly, looks good and informative. Do you think the DNA service companies should be analysing the control regions as well as the...
I'm still studying this great, comprehensive article, which by the way, re-assignes me from J* to J1c1, but either I'm missing something or there is a misprint...
Thanks for the question, but there seems to be some confusion here. HVR1 and HVR2 are in the control region. Depending upon the company, and how that company...
Thanks Svein. You are correct. I don't know how that error got so far in the process. However, hats off to Whit Athey, the editor, who has already made the...
Jim, great work---a major contribution. Is it possible that the J subclade structure could be expanded if there were more subjects from the Middle East (e.g. ...
Yes Josh, I would love to have more data, especially from the Middle East. For my analysis, I tried to use all the mtDNA Hg J full sequence data that was...
Hello, I´m glad to join you all in this forum! I just received my results today from FTDNA. I only tested HVR1 so far (financial reasons) and I belong to...
Man, I feel so lost. I paid money to get my mtDNAPLUS test with familytreedna.com but I just dont understand how to research what my results mean. I think I...
DNA testing alone is just a report on a sequence of amino acids. The value to you is the family history, location, physical characteristics, etc. behind whole...
Bob and all: I suspect you grandfather was typical. The Scots in northern Ireland generally did not consider themselves as Irish or even Scots-Irish (or...
Just a gentle correction here. DNA testing give a readout of the sequence of nucleotides in -this case- your mitchondrial DNA. Amino acids are what is coded...
All, Thank you for the update to my college biology classes some 20+ years ago, I beg forgiveness to the DNA gods Watson & Crick. My attempts to simplify ...
Hello all - Just joined the list after seeing Jim's article in the newest edition of JoGG. I tested HVR1+HVR2 with FTDNA a little over a year ago (kit #83055, ...
Good catch, Joe. You are correct. There is a typo in Table 4: the row for J3a1, third column should be 16231C, not 16231T. Table 2 that defines the phylogeny...
Since many Scots descend from the Irish Scoti, who lived in N Ireland to start with before moving to SW Scotland, there is really not much of a distinction to...
Not very exciting for the rest of you, I'm afraid, but I'm cock-a-hoop at having at long last plugged a gap in my paper-trail and found the death-certificate -...
Congratulations Harry! Nothing feels better than making an ancestral connection. I found a will here in TN which connected me to an ancestor born 1751 and...
Dear Listers - Did all of you that tested at FTDNA get the e-mail blurb from Bennett G. about the special on the mtDNA FGS upgrade? You have to order it...
Something interesting just popped up on mitosearch. I have no exact matches but there are a bunch of 1 step mismatches; in addition, I do have 25 other exact...
John: As to the matches. You results are typical of J1c1 except for the 16163 which is a rather rare polymorphism for mtDNA J at less than 1%. However, it...
Julian: I apparently never answered you question. Sorry for the delay. Yes, with HVR1 only data, 16126 is a major indicator for both mtDNA J and mtDNA T....
Jim: Thanks for your reply! First I noticed my data looked unusual on forums, and then on mitosearch where nobody matches me, which is awkward to say the least...
Welcome fellow Double Helix poster... :) If you allow me to bring the good news, Dirk has ordered a deCODEme test, and no doubt the results will be interesting...
Hi I am a new member trying to learn enough to talk some of my J2 HVR2 matches to take advantage of the special price from FTDNA. These are my mutations: ...
A tad confusing.....Mitosearch shows me with exact matches to 2 other folks both of whom show different haplogroups....what gives? And Kathleen, I am J2 also...
