Y-DNA haplogroup projects
From ISOGG Wiki
A Y-DNA haplogroup project collects and collates Y chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) results from a specific haplogroup. There are also numerous projects for the various subclades within the major haplogroups. Membership of subclade projects is usually restricted to those who have tested positive for the relevant subclade-defining SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) or SNPs . All the large haplogroup projects are hosted by Family Tree DNA. Some haplogroup projects restrict membership to those who have tested at Family Tree DNA. Other projects have external website facilities where they are able to display results from other testing companies.

R1b subclades
A deep clade R test will normally be necessary to join the projects listed below:
- R1b haplotype 35 project To join this project you must be (M269+ P312- U106-) Administrator: Vincent Vizachero
R1b P312 and subclades
- R1b-P312 and subclades project Administrator: Richard Stevens
- R1b P312 M153 DNA project Administrator: Gary Felix. M153 is known as the Basque Marker. This subclade is known as R1b1b2a1a2b in the ISOGG nomenclature and R1b1b2a1b2 in the current FTDNA nomenclature.
- The R SRY2627+ and L176.2+ Project This R1b1b2 subclade is known as R1b1b2a1b3 in the tree used by Family Tree DNA and R1b1b2a1a2c in the ISOGG 2010 tree. L176.2 is a new mutation discovered in FTDNA's own research lab. Nothing is known yet about its geographical distribution and anyone who has a L176.2+ result (whether also SRY2627+ or not) is encouraged to join this Project to help investigate its origins, history and relevance to genetic genealogy. Established March 2008. Administrator: Gareth Henson
- R1b-P312 L165 project established December 2010. Administrators: Lori McLeod-Wilke, Timothy McLeod and Alasdair Macdonald. L165/S68 is currently known as R1b1b2a1a2e according to the 2011 ISOGG Y-SNP tree. The SNP was discovered in 2007 by Dr Jim F. Wilson of EthnoAncestry and has been designated L165 by Family Tree DNA. This subclade is heavily populated by families from the Western Highlands, but is believed by Jim Wilson to be Norse Viking.

- R1b-L226 Project (Irish Type III) Administrator: Dennis Wright. This subclade is known as R1b1b2a1a2f4 in the ISOGG nomenclature, but is not recognised yet in the FTDNA tree. This subclade is definitive of the Dal gCais clan, of whom Brian Boru, 926AD - 1014AD, is a member, but appears to have originated several generations prior, perhaps as early as 690AD.
- R1b-P312 M222 project Administrators: John McLaughlin and David Wilson. This subclade is known as R1b1b2a1a2f2 in the ISOGG nomenclature (formerly R1b1c7) and R1b1b2a1b5b in the current FTDNA nomenclature. This is the subclade of the Ui Neill Clan, the descendants of the semi-legendary Niall of the Nine Hostages. A separate M222 website provides further information.

FTDNA affiliates
Genographic Project participants can transfer their results to the FTDNA database in order to join the relevant haplogroup project. Those who have tested with FTDNA affiliates such as AfricanDNA, DNA Worldwide and iGENEA can also benefit from joining FTDNA haplogroup projects. DNA results from affiliate companies are displayed on FTDNA results pages with the following prefixes:
- A AfricanDNA
- E iGENEA
- M Kits from FTDNA's associate in the Middle East
- N Genographic Project
- U DNA Worldwide (UK affiliate)
Third party transfers
DNA Heritage was acquired by Family Tree DNA in April 2011. DNA Heritage customers can transfer their 25-marker results free of charge to the FTDNA database and can upgrade their results to match the FTDNA 37-marker panel for a nominal sum. Further details can be found in the DNA Heritage FAQs.
In August 2011 FTDNA announced that it would accept transfers from people who had tested with any of the companies that used the Sorenson Laboratories (Ancestry.com DNA, GeneTree and Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation on payment of a small fee. Further information on the transfer programme can be found in the Third-party transfers FAQs. Third-party kits have the following prefixes:
- B DNA Ancestry, GeneTree and Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation
- H DNA Heritage
