Nomenclature &
classification is proposed with Full mitochondrial Genome
Sequencing results. I use mainly Genbank results and other
published scientific data, but also accept private results - for
those who don't want to submit their FGS to a public database, but
still take part in this study anonymously. The tree should be a
usefull canvass to interpret your FGS results by adding your limb
to the tree, and observe where it grows from there, and see who
shows up in your clan.
I hope to include medically problematic markers as well so related
branches at quickly spot problem areas. Since the references remain
anonymous to the samples, revealing privately those may help inform
others concerned about the potentially unknown condition, whithout
revealing your identity (other that your country of origins and kit
number locked in my private PW protected database. I hope to
specify specific conditions next to the colour-coded marker
(orange/yellow).
Why
the Full Sequence?
FGS test may seem expensive, but the dollar value of the results is
much high than what the combined HVR tests can deliver. The H
haplogroup being so large, the Hypervariable regions (HVRs) are
often a lot of background noice. Without the Full sequence,
examining H's HVRs is like trying to establish the age of a tree by
looking at it's leaves, instead of counting it's trunk rings.
Email-me your
H FGS results. Subclades in
Light blue are subject to some
shifting around as new results are added. This version of the tree
is meant to be a dynamic reference as new results build the
picture.
There are some problems with phylogeny
This is a non-profit, public and hopefully collaborative effort to
paint a picture of the evolving H tree as new results are made
public. Debate and discussions about classification issues are
welcome. Without starting a Forum, I want to start a blog-type
sections where I'll post arguments and counter-arguments about
particular issues, to settle these in a concensus matter. I am an
amateur Genetic Genealogist, journalist by trade, and not
associated with any commercial DNA lab. Naturally, there is a bias
for labs offering Full Sequencing at a reasonable price
;)
