STR Markers

There have now been some 245 haplotypes collected from various public databases, SMGF and Surname Projects. Because of privacy concerns, I will only display the results from those participants who have lodged their results with a public database such as Ysearch or Ybase.

Besides the STR markers that I have already described as identifying our cluster, it now emerges that DYS716=24 for our cluster, while NO other clusters in R1b, or indeed any other haplogroup have values of 24. Truly a new defining marker for our cluster.

The Chart below shows the STR markers of all those who have lodged their results in Ysearch or Ybase.

What's New

I have run a new calculation of the age of our cluster using a set of 181 37-marker haplotypes and a second set of 81 67-marker haplotypes.

These result is 993 years and 966 years respectively ... certainly about the time of Brian Boru!

A further run omitting the variable markers, 385, 389, 459, 464 and CDY resulted in a time of 1086 years with an error of ±20%.
