SNP Markers

Many members of the cluster have ordered tests of their SNP markers, either as Deep Clade-R, or as individual SNP s. The results show derived or positive (+ve) for S116 or P312 and S145 or L21. In November 2009, a new SNP was found in the "Walk The Y" project at FTDNA. This SNP , L226 has shown to be positive for all Irish Type III who have tested and negative for members of all other R1b clusters. This is the last +ve SNP and so we are now R-L226 (or R1b1a2a1a1b4g1) and is defining for our haplogroup.

EthnoAncestry advise S168 is equivalent to FTDNA's L226.

If you suspect that you are Irish Type III, just test L226 from the Advanced Markers page at FTDNA, or S168 from EthnoAncestry. There is no need to do a Deep Clade test which is considerably more expensive that just testing the one marker. L226/S168.

I encourage ALL Irish Type III members to test this SNP and to join the R-L226 project at FTDNA.

How do I Order L226?

This marker can be ordered from your FTDNA Home Page.
Go to Order Advanced Tests:
Then in the block marker 'Filter' enter SNP as 'Test Type' and in 'Marker' enter L226 then click on 'Find'.
In the Marker Block against L226 click on 'Add' and 'Next'

If you order this marker, please also join the R-L226 project at FTDNA. I will place you in the 'Pending' group until your results come in.

All that test positive for L226 are invited to join the R-L226 Project at FTDNA.

The R-Tree at ISOGG shows how these SNP s separate the various branches of the R Clade.
