Advances in R1b DNA


By Armando - Posted on 09 September 2013

Over the past few years with 1000 Genomes, citizen scientists, and Geno 2.0
testing new discoveries have been made with Y-DNA especially with R-M269.

It turns out that a majority of people from Mexico and Spain that are
R-M269 are positive for an SNP marker called P312 and a majority of them
are positive for DF27 and markers below that SNP. Being terminal DF27 is
very rare and most are also positive for a marker below that. A minority of
Mexican and Spanish R-M269 are positive for U106.

You can see the P312 and the DF27 trees in the following links -

If you are R-M269 and you want to find out if you are U106 or P312 and
below then you can get a $199 Geno 2.0 test or you can get individual SNP
tests. The cheaper route is with individual SNP tests but you could also
run into a wall by the time $199 in individual tests are done but you get
to choose how many tests you want to get and limit your spending or stretch
it out over a year or two. The fastest and most complete route is with the
Geno 2.0 test.

To get an individual SNP test log into your FTDNA account then select
Orderan Upgrade on the top right then click on
Order an Advanced Test then Test Type then SNP then type P312, or the
desired SNP, then click on FIND then click ADD then NEXT then fill out your
info and so on.
