Y-Chromosome Genome Comparison
Extending Y-DNA Haplogroup Knowledge via Collaboration

 

Project Goals

·      Provide a repository for available Y-DNA SNP results

·      Simplify analysis and understanding of the results for everyone

·      Encourage discussion and involve other people in the data search

·      Extend the definition of the Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree by identifying novel SNPs

Resources         

·      Project spreadsheets containing collated and annotated Y-DNA SNPS
http://www.webalice.it/asquecco/Y_DNA-Forums.zip

·      Project spreadsheet containing SNP list, HapMap samples, older collated Y-DNA SNPs through Oct 2008

Downloading a 23andME SNP Raw Data File

·      Login on the 23andME.com website

·      Click “Browse Raw Data” near the top of the left side bar

·      Click “download raw data” in the upper right corner

·      Enter your password and secret answer, click “Download Data” in the bottom right corner

·      Follow the directions below for preparing and submitting your Y-DNA SNP data file

 

Downloading a deCODEme SNP Raw Data File

·      Login on the deCODEme.com website

·      Select the “Advanced” tab

·      Select the “Data Download” tab

·      Enter your password and click the “Download Button”

·      Follow the directions below for preparing and submitting your Y-DNA SNP data file

Preparing and Submitting the Y-DNA SNP Data File

·      Note that if you are not concerned about medical privacy issues, you may simply submit the raw data file (the zipped file) without editing it. If you do so, the data for Chromosomes 1-22, X, and the mtDNA entries will be discarded and will not be published. If you are submitting the raw data file, skip down to the e-mail step below.

·      Open the zip file download and find the data file

·      Right-click on the data file and select “Open With” and then “Wordpad

·      Edit the file to remove the information for Chromosomes 1-22, X, and the mtDNA entries (see detailed instructions for more information on editing the file)
Chromosomes 1-22, X, and the mtDNA entries may contain data about medical information and health traits for you

·      Y-Chromosome entries have an upper case “Y” in each row of data.
Y-Chromosome SNP data does not contain any medical information or information about health traits

·      The first line of “Y” data should begin with: rs11575897

·      The last line of “Y” data should begin with:

·       23andME v2/v3:        rs2334083

·       23andME v1 :            rs6568294

·       deCODEme v2:          rs7474471

·       deCODEme v1:          rs9786787

·      The file should contain approximately this many lines of text:
23andME periodically revises which SNPs are downloaded, so your count may vary.

·       23andME v3:             1923

·       23andME v1+v2:       1953

·       23andME v2:             1821

·       23andME v1:             1358

·       deCODEme v2:          1182

·       deCODEme v1:          858

·      E-mail the data file to Adriano Squecco, asquecco@gmail.com

·      When submitting the file, please specify:

·       Surname to use with data (normally yours, but anonymous or geographic location OK)

·       Do you give permission to list your e-mail address (optional)

·       Your Y-DNA haplogroup

·       23andME: click “Paternal Line” in the left sidebar

·       deCODEme: see the Analysis/Ancestry/Male Line tab

·       Geographic location of your earliest known paternal ancestor

·       Ysearch ID if you have done Y-DNA STR testing and submitted the results to Ysearch.org

 

Thank you for sharing your data, your time, and your ideas and
helping us further our understanding of the Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree.
