Balanovsky O, Dibirova K, Dybo A et al. Looking still more closely at the distribution of P303 sub-clades, some distinct patterns emerge in the network (Figure 4). Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. On the other hand, G2a3-M485-associated lineages, or more precisely its G2a3b-P303-derived branch, represent the most common assemblage, whereas the paraphyletic G2a3-M485* lineages display overall low occurrence in the Near/Middle East, Europe and the Caucasus. Spatial frequency maps for sub-clades (panels bf) were obtained by applying the frequencies from Supplementary Table S1 using the Surfer software (version 8, Golden Software, Inc.), following the kriging algorithm with option to use bodies of water as breaklines. It has been found in Mexican mestizos. Haplogroup F is the parent of haplogroups from G to R; however excluding these common haplogroups, the minor clades F*, F1, and F2, seem to appear in the Indian continent [68]. Cinnioglu C, King R, Kivisild T et al. In contrast to its widely dispersed sister clade defined by P303, hg G-M406 has a peak frequency in Cappadocia, Mediterranean Anatolia and Central Anatolia (67%) and it is not detected in most other regions with considerable P303 frequency. Balanovsky O, Rootsi S, Pshenichnov A et al. The emergence of Y-chromosome haplogroup J1e among Arabic-speaking populations. The frequency data were converted into isofrequency maps using the Surfer software (version 8, Golden Software, Inc., Golden, CO, USA), following the kriging algorithm using advanced options to use bodies of waters as breaklines. The Y-chromosomal haplogroup G (hg G) is currently defined as one of the 20 standard haplogroups comprising the global Y-chromosome phylogeny.1 The phylogeographic demarcation zone of hg G is largely restricted to populations of the Caucasus and the Near/Middle East and southern Europe. While it is found in percentages higher than 10% among the Bakhtiari, Talysh people, Gilaki, Mazandarani and Iranian Azeris, it is closer to 5% among the Iranian Arabs and in some large cities. Y chromosomal heritage of Croatian population and its island isolates. Haplogroup L2b1a is a branch on the maternal tree of human kind. L1771.1/ L177_1, L1771.2/L177_2, L177.3/L177_3) was withdrawn as an identifier by ISOGG in 2013, after it was "found to be an unreliable palindromic snp". [12] The fourth site also from the same period is the tztal of the Italian Alps where the mummified remains of tzi the Iceman were discovered. The Etruscans: a population-genetic study. It remains to be seen if testing will reveal G-M377 haplotypes in other populations this is some indication that G-M377 occurs at low levels in the Near East. In the northern and highland areas of the island of Sardinia off western Italy, G percentages reach 11% of the population in one study[17] and reached 21% in the town of Tempio in another study. (Behar et al., 2012b) Origin Most researchers consider the birthplace of G to have been born in East Asia. MH and MHS are thankful to the National Institute for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Tehran, Iran, and the National Research Institute for Science policy, Tehran, Iran, for providing the samples. Zhivotovsky LA, Underhill PA, Cinnioglu C et al. Thus, G2a3a-M406, along with other lineages, such as J2a3b1-M92 and J2a4h2-DYS445=616, may track the expansion of the Neolithic from Central/Mediterranean Anatolia to Greece/Italy and Iran. Am J Hum Genet 2002; 70: 265268. Two additional markers, DYS38829, 30 and DYS46131 were typed separately. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in Keller A, Graefen A, Ball M et al. However, no clinal patterns were detected in the spatial autocorrelation analysis of the five sub-haplogroup frequencies with distance, suggesting that the distributions are not clinal but rather indicative of isolation by distance and demographic complexities. G-CTS2488 or G2a2b2 (also known as G-L141.1; previously G-141 and G2a3b) was identified only in mid-2009 at Family Tree DNA. Mitochondrial DNA variation of modern Tuscans supports the near eastern origin of Etruscans. Eur J Hum Genet 2004; 12: 855863. L141 persons who do not belong to any L141 subclade so far have the value of 11 at STR marker DYS490 a finding rare in other G categories. The final major subclade is characterized by presence of the SNP Z1903 and by a value of 9 at marker DYS568. This haplogroup was found in a Neolithic skeleton from around 5000 BC, in the cemetery of Derenburg Meerenstieg II, Germany, which forms part of the Linear Pottery culture, known in German as Linearbandkeramik (LBK),[11] but was not tested for G2a3 subclades. In Egypt, studies have provided information that pegs the G percentage there to be between 2% and 9%. Am J Hum Genet 2003; 72: 313332. It is one of two branches of the parent haplogroup GHIJK, the other being HIJK . Origin, diffusion, and differentiation of Y-chromosome haplogroups E and J: inferences on the neolithization of Europe and later migratory events in the Mediterranean area. [21] In a study of 936 Indians, haplogroup G made up less than 1% of the sample and was completely absent in the tested Northwestern Indian population. IK thanks the Russian Foundation for Basic Research for grant 08-06-97011 and the Grant of the President of the Russian Federation of state support for young Russian scientists MK-488.2006.4. The geographic origins of a Y chromosome haplogroup for males can be deciphered from the phylogenetic tree of mankind, or the Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree, maintained by the International Society of Genetic Genealogy ( ISOGG, 2016 ). G-L14 | Haplogroup Haplogroup definition, a set of similar haplotypes inherited together, or a group who shares a set of similar haplotypes, used to understand genetic lineages. Achilli A, Olivieri A, Pala M et al. Circles represent microsatellite haplotypes, the areas of the circles and sectors are proportional to haplotype frequency (smallest circle corresponds to one individual) and the geographic area is indicated by color. It is one of two branches of the parent haplogroup GHIJK, the other being HIJK. The most probably region of the initial phase of G-M201 is estimated to be in Anatolia, Armenia or western Iran. Among Turkish males 11% of the population is G.[6] In Iran, Haplogroup G reaches 13 to 15% of the population in various parts of the country. The haplogroup G mutation developed about 21,000 to 14,000 years ago.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2011; 108: 97889791. In the G2a3b-P303 network (Figure 4), there are several region-specific clusters, indicating a considerable history for this SNP. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2011; 108: 1825518259. Although both broadly distributed, G2a-P15* and its downstream L91 sub-lineage have low frequencies, with the exception of Sardinia and Corsica. Luis JR, Rowold DJ, Regueiro M et al. Distribution. Artefactual values below 0% values were not depicted. (Previously the name Haplogroup S was assigned to K2b1a4. Farther north, 8% of ethnic Hungarian males and 5.1% of ethnic Bohemian (Czech) males have been found to belong to Haplogroup G. In South Asia, some ethnic minorities possess haplogroup G at concentrations of approximately 18%[21] to 20%[22] of Kalash, approximately 16% of Brahui,[22] and approximately 11.5% of sampled Pashtun,[21] but in only about 3% of the general Pakistani population. White PS, Tatum OL, Deaven LL, Longmire JL : New, male-specific microsatellite markers from the human Y chromosome. Should any man with the P15 mutation test negative (ancestral) for any of these or vice versa, that finding would be the basis of a new G2a category. [16] The concentration of G falls below this average in Scandinavia, the westernmost former Soviet republics and Poland, as well as in Iceland and the British Isles. Haplogroup G ( M201) is a human Y-chromosome haplogroup. In 2009-10, Family Tree DNA's Walk through the Y Project, sequencing certain Y-chromosome segments, provided a number of new G SNPs with the L designation. G2a2b1 is more common in southern Europe than northern Europe. Members of this group have been found in Europe and the Middle East.[3]. This is achieved by comparing the haplotypes through the STR markers. "[3], Previously the National Geographic Society placed its origins in the Middle East 30,000 years ago and presumes that people carrying the haplogroup took part in the spread of the Neolithic. M286 was first identified at Stanford University at chromosome position 21151187, and is a mutation from G to A. Origin. G-L91 would seem to encompass a significant proportion of men belonging to G. L91 is found so far in scattered parts of Europe and North Africa and in Armenia. [4], Two scholarly papers have also suggested an origin in the Middle East, while differing on the date. Haplogroup H dominates present-day Western European mitochondrial DNA variability (>40%), yet was less common (~19%) among Early Neolithic farmers (~5450 BC) and virtually absent in Mesolithic . These patterns have been related to different migratory events and demographic processes.2, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16. Elizabeth T Wood, Daryn A Stover, Christopher Ehret, L177, later discarded in favour of PF3359 and equivalent SNPs, was first identified at. Gene pool structure of Eastern Ukrainians as inferred from the Y-chromosome haplogroups. Hg G also occurs at frequencies ranging from 5 to 15% in both the rest of Near/Middle East and southern European countries (especially Italy and Greece), with a decreasing frequency gradient towards the Balkans and northern Europe. First, here is the only region with co-presence of deep basal branches as well as the occurrence of high sub-haplogroup diversity of haplogroup G. The P303 SNP defines the most frequent and widespread G sub-haplogroup. Reduced genetic structure of the Iberian peninsula revealed by Y-chromosome analysis: implications for population demography. Peter A Underhill. Ancient DNA suggests the leading role played by men in the Neolithic dissemination. The suggested relevant pre-historical climatic and archeological periods specified in conjunction with lineage-specific estimated expansion times are specified in the summary portion of Supplementary Table S4. Pichler I, Fuchsberger C, Platzer C et al. The hg G-U1 subclade is characterized by several sub-clusters of haplotypes, including a more diverse cluster mostly represented by Caucasus populations. P287 was identified at the University of Arizona and became widely known in late 2007. Bosch E, Calafell F, Comas D, Oefner PJ, Underhill PA, Bertranpetit J : High-resolution analysis of human Y-chromosome variation shows a sharp discontinuity and limited gene flow between northwestern Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. Haplogroup G first locations (T. Kandell). 8 Oldest Haplogroups and the Regions they Originated From In contrast to G1, the absolute majority of hg G samples belonged to G2-P287-related sub-clades, with the vast majority of them being associated with G2a-P15-related lineages. There are distinctive Ashkenazi Jewish and Kazakh subclades based on STR marker value combinations. G-PF3147 (previously G-L223 and G-PF3146) is characterized by having the L223 mutation. Chromosome Y microsatellites: population genetic and evolutionary aspects. (2000) suggested 17,000 years ago. The Caucasus are today mainly the countries of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and southwestern Russia. The mutations involved may be complicated and difficult to interpret. Eur J Hum Genet 2008; 16: 374386. This is likely due to a local founder effect.[40]. These latter labs also made use of raw data results reported by individuals tested for about 2,000 SNPs at 23andMe to provide new L or S-designated SNP tests. Lacan M, Keyser C, Ricaut FX et al. Amongst the Madjars, G1 was found at a rate of 87%. [42] The technical specifications of M201 are given as: refSNPid is rs2032636..Y chromosome location of 13536923.forward primer is tatgcatttgttgagtatatgtc..reverse primer is gttctgaatgaaagttcaaacg..the mutation involves a change from G to T. A number of SNPs have been identified with seemingly the same coverage in the population as M201. Haplogroup G-M285 - Wikipedia It is a branch of Haplogroup F (M89), and is theorized to have originated, according to the latest thinking, in the Near East or Southern Asia, likely in the region that is now northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Mol Phylogenet Evol 2007; 44: 228239. Internet Explorer). Am J Hum Genet 2008; 82: 873882. Although no basal G-M201* chromosomes were detected in our data set, the homeland of this haplogroup has been estimated to be somewhere nearby eastern Anatolia, Armenia or western Iran, the only areas characterized by the co-presence of deep basal branches as well as the occurrence of high sub-haplogroup diversity. It encompasses a small group of Hispanic men who also so far all have the odd value of 13,21 at the YCA marker. PLoS Biol 2010; 8: e1000536. Dulik MC, Osipova LP, Schurr TG : Y-chromosome variation in Altaian Kazakhs reveals a common paternal gene pool for Kazakhs and the influence of Mongolian expansions. Almost all L141 men belong to L141 subclades. In the case of the general frequency pattern of hg G, panel (a) was obtained by applying the frequencies from Supplementary Table S1 together with data taken from the literature, concerning 569 individuals representing 7 populations comprising Algerians,47 Oromo and Amhara Ethiopians,48 and Berbers, Arabs and Saharawis from Morocco.49 Dots on the map (a) indicate the approximate locations of the sampled populations. Origins and history of European Y-DNA and mtDNA haplogroups The L91 mutation is found at 21327383 and rs35474563 on the Y-chromosome. contracts here.

In addition, we introduce five new markers: M426, M461, M485, M527 and M547 (Supplementary Table S2). It is a branch of Haplogroup F (M89), and is theorized to have originated, according to the latest thinking, in the Near East or Southern Asia, likely in the region that is now northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The authors declare no conflict of interest. The highest frequencies of haplogroup G appear in the Caucasus region; however it also shows significant frequencies in the Mediterranean areas and the Middle East [69,70]. The origin of haplogroup G is controversial. Herein . Taken as a collective group, P303-derived chromosomes are the most widespread of all hg G lineages (Supplementary Table S1 and Figure 2b) and clearly display differential geographic partitioning between L497 (Figure 2c) and U1 (xM527) (Figure 2d). G-M201 has also been found in Neolithic Anatolian sites such as Boncuklu dating back to 8300-7600 BCE, and Barcin dating back to 6419-6238 BCE. Men from the Caucasus and men from eastern Europe also form distinctive STR clusters. The Turkish G-M377 is somewhat closer, but not identical. ASD0 is the average squared difference in the number of repeats between all current chromosomes of a sample and the founder haplotype, which is estimated as the median of current haplotypes. Finally, to the east, G2a3a-M406 has an expansion time of 8800 years ago in Iran, a time horizon that corresponds to the first Neolithic settlements of the Zagros Mountains of Iran. P15 was identified at the University of Arizona and became widely known by 2002. PLoS One 2011; 6: e17548. In contrast, the only U1 representative in Europe is the G-M527 lineage whose distribution pattern is consistent with regions of Greek colonization. Haplogroup G-M201 | Familypedia | Fandom [43] L240 was identified in 2009. The Sea Peoples, from cuneiform tablets to carbon dating. Another frequent sub-clade of the G2a3-M485 lineage is G2a3a-M406 (Figure 2e). It is a child of haplogroup M12'G. It was likely born in the East Asia around 32,000 years ago. Kayser M, Caglia A, Corach D et al. N-mtDNA - Background | FamilyTreeDNA Hg G is very frequent in NW Caucasus and South Caucasus, covering about 45% of the paternal lineages in both regions2 in this study. However, interpretations based on coarse haplogroup resolution frequency clines are unsophisticated and do not recognize underlying patterns of genetic diversification. Rosser ZH, Zerjal T, Hurles ME et al. Although the low frequency of hg G1-M285 makes it impractical to justify displaying a spatial frequency map, it is found (Supplementary Table S1) in the Near/Middle East including Anatolia, the Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf region, as well as Iran and the South Caucasus (mostly Armenians). Nat Commun 2012; 3. de Knijff P, Kayser M, Caglia A et al. Am J Hum Genet 2004; 74: 788788. Barac L, Pericic M, Klaric IM et al. The hg G individuals in Supplementary Table S1 were either first genotyped for this study or updated to present phylogenetic resolution from earlier studies.2, 4, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 All hg G (M201-derived) samples were genotyped in a hierarchical manner for the following binary markers: M285, P20, P287, P15, L91 P16, M286, P303, U1, L497, M406, Page19, M287 and M377. Nonetheless, coalescent times provide a valuable/informative relative metric for estimating the time of lineage formation. In the Greek island of Crete, approximately 7%[18] to 11%[19] of males belong to haplogroup G. See: Poznik. Hammer MF, Behar DM, Karafet TM et al.
