Above are the results from the laboratory
analysis of my Y-chromosome. My DNA was analyzed for Short Tandem
Repeats (STRs), which are repeating segments of my genome that have
a high mutation rate. The location on the Y chromosome of each of
these markers is depicted in the image, with the number of repeats
for each of my STRs presented to the right of the marker. For
example, DYS19 is a repeat of TAGA, so if my DNA repeated that
sequence 12 times at that location, it would appear: DYS19 12.
Studying the combination of these STR lengths in my Y Chromosome
allows researchers to place me in a haplogroup, which reveals the
complex migratory journeys of my ancestors. Y-SNP: In the event that
the analysis of my STRs was inconclusive, my Y chromosome was also
tested for the presence of an informative Single Nucleotide
Polymorphism (SNP). These are mutational changes in a single
nucleotide base, and allow researchers to definitively place me in a
genetic haplogroup. |
