Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2011; 108: 97889791. There were only a few G categories until 2008 when major revisions to categories were made. Eur J Hum Genet 2008; 16: 374386. The L141 mutation involves an insertion.[35]. The Levant versus the Horn of Africa: evidence for bidirectional corridors of human migrations. Similarly, G-P16 and G-M377 networks were created using 104 P16-derived 19-locus haplotypes and 61G-M377-derived 9-locus haplotypes, with both groups representing European, Near/Middle Eastern and central/west Asian populations. The results were analyzed using the ABI PRISM program GeneMapper 4.0 (Applied Biosystems). Genomics 1999; 57: 433437. So far all G2a1 persons have a value of 10 at STR marker DYS392. Martinez L, Underhill PA, Zhivotovsky LA et al. The overall coalescent age estimate (Supplementary Table S4) for P303 is 12600 years ago. Another notable feature is its uneven distribution. The L91 mutation is found at 21327383 and rs35474563 on the Y-chromosome. Int J Legal Med 1997; 110: 141149. Haplogroup G (Y-DNA) In human genetics, Haplogroup G (M201) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup. Zalloua PA, Xue Y, Khalife J et al. Hammer MF, Behar DM, Karafet TM et al. [20] The city is on the banks of the river Drava, which notably begins in the Tirol/Tyrol region of the Alps, another haplogroup G focus area in Europe. Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup G-M201 The first man to carry haplogroup G-M201 likely lived in southwestern Asia or the Caucasus between 46,000 and 54,000 years ago. Am J Hum Genet 2004; 74: 788788. The origin of haplogroup G is controversial. Although hg G1 frequency distribution, overall, extends further eastward as far as Central Asian Kazakhs (present even among Altaian Kazakhs38 with identical STR haplotypes compared with the main Kazakh population), it is virtually absent in Europe. Haplogroup G is a branch on the maternal tree of human kind. Flores C, Maca-Meyer N, Gonzalez AM et al. They arewith accompanying Y-chromosome locationsU5 (rs2178500), L149 (8486380) and L31 (also called S149) (rs35617575..12538148). It has been found in Mexican mestizos. Marie Lacan, Christine Keyser, Franois-Xavier Ricaut, Nicolas Brucato, Francis Duranthon, Jean Guilaine, Eric Crubzy, and Bertrand Ludes, Ancient DNA reveals male diffusion through the Neolithic Mediterranean route. Because SNPs provide the most reliable method of categorization, each is allowed to represent an official G category. (2000) suggested 17,000 years ago. The Caucasus as an asymmetric semipermeable barrier to ancient human migrations. In order to determine if one of these alternative SNPs represents a subclade of M201, the alternative SNPs must be tested in G persons who are negative for the known subclades of G. There are only a tiny number of persons in such a category, and only a tiny number of persons have been tested for G equivalent SNPs other than M201. Haplogroup H dominates present-day Western European mitochondrial DNA variability (>40%), yet was less common (~19%) among Early Neolithic farmers (~5450 BC) and virtually absent in Mesolithic . OS thanks the Italian Ministry of the University: Progetti Ricerca Interesse Nazionale 2009 and FIRB-Futuro in Ricerca 2008 and Fondazione Alma Mater Ticinensins. The highest percentage of G-P303 persons in a discrete population so far described is on the island of Ibiza off the eastern Spanish coast. Goncalves R, Freitas A, Branco M et al. Karafet TM, Mendez FL, Meilerman MB, Underhill PA, Zegura SL, Hammer MF : New binary polymorphisms reshape and increase resolution of the human Y chromosomal haplogroup tree. Its estimated Td of 120953000 years ago suggests considerable antiquity allowing time to accumulate STR diversity and also to disperse relatively widely. Haplogroup G ( M201) is a human Y-chromosome haplogroup. First, here is the only region with co-presence of deep basal branches as well as the occurrence of high sub-haplogroup diversity of haplogroup G. You belong to a subgroup of haplogroup G (G-M201), The Caucasus Mountaineers, and your oldest. G-M201 is most commonly found among various ethnic groups of the Caucasus, but is also widely distributed at low frequencies among ethnic groups throughout Europe, South Asia, Central Asia, and North Africa . G-M201 is most commonly found among various ethnic groups of the Caucasus, but is also widely distributed at low frequencies among ethnic groups throughout Europe, South Asia, Central Asia, and North Africa. Google Scholar. In the Tirol (Tyrol) of western Austria, the percentage of G-M201 can reach 40% or more; perhaps the most famous example is the ancient remains of the so-called "Iceman", tzi. K-M2313*, which as yet has no phylogenetic name, has been documented in two living individuals, who have ethnic ties to India and South East Asia. Mol Phylogenet Evol 2007; 44: 228239. G1-M285, previously described in the Iranian population . In human genetics, Haplogroup G (M201) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup. Name: G-L14 Age: 7800 ybp 1700 CI 95% Expansion: 5200 ybp 1900 CI 95% Parent: G-L1 Note: This information does not imply an endorcement of YFull or their methods. See: Poznik. Looking still more closely at the distribution of P303 sub-clades, some distinct patterns emerge in the network (Figure 4). Among Jews in Israel drawn from many areas of the world, G-M377 constituted 3.7% in one study. Moreover, the accuracy and validity of the evolutionary rate has been independently confirmed in several deep-rooted Hutterite pedigrees.34 Furthermore pedigree rate-based estimates cannot be substantiated, as they are often inconsistent with dateable archeological knowledge, for example, as clearly illustrated regarding the peopling of the Americas.35 Coalescent times based on 10 STR loci (DYS19, DYS388, DYS389I, DYS389b, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS439, DYS461-TAGA counts) and the median haplotypes of specific hg G sub-haplogroups are presented in Supplementary Table S4. [16] The concentration of G falls below this average in Scandinavia, the westernmost former Soviet republics and Poland, as well as in Iceland and the British Isles. The 12f2a mutation, which characterizes haplogroup J, was observed in 445 subjects. Hum Hered 2006; 61: 132143. MH and MHS are thankful to the National Institute for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Tehran, Iran, and the National Research Institute for Science policy, Tehran, Iran, for providing the samples. Two sources of the Russian patrilineal heritage in their Eurasian context. Haplogroup G is observed in this survey as G1-M285 and G2a-P15. The emergence of Y-chromosome haplogroup J1e among Arabic-speaking populations. [10], A skeleton found at the Neolithic cemetery known as Derenburg Meerenstieg II, in Saxony-Anhalt Germany, apparently belonged to G2a3 (G-S126) or a subclade. [29][30][31] 3% of North African Berbers were found to be haplogroup G.[32] 2% of Arab Moroccans and 0.8% of Berber Moroccans were likewise found to be G.[33]. The hg G individuals in Supplementary Table S1 were either first genotyped for this study or updated to present phylogenetic resolution from earlier studies.2, 4, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 All hg G (M201-derived) samples were genotyped in a hierarchical manner for the following binary markers: M285, P20, P287, P15, L91 P16, M286, P303, U1, L497, M406, Page19, M287 and M377. The genetic legacy of Paleolithic Homo sapiens sapiens in extant Europeans: a Y chromosome perspective. BMC Evol Biol 2011; 11: 69. Sims LM, Garvey D, Ballantyne J : Improved resolution haplogroup G phylogeny in the Y chromosome, revealed by a set of newly characterized SNPs. The authors of the Spanish study indicated that the Avellaner men had rare marker values in testing of their short tandem repeat (STR) markers. [12] The fourth site also from the same period is the tztal of the Italian Alps where the mummified remains of tzi the Iceman were discovered. Haplogroup S, as of 2017, is also known as K2b1a. Several G-PF3359 subclades, based on shared STR markers, probably exist. More distantly, G2a3a-M406 occurs in Italy (3%) with a Td of 8100 years ago, consistent with the model of maritime Neolithic colonization of the Italian peninsula from coastal Anatolia and/or the Levant. This haplogroup was found in a Neolithic skeleton from around 5000 BC, in the cemetery of Derenburg Meerenstieg II, Germany, which forms part of the Linear Pottery culture, known in German as Linearbandkeramik (LBK),[11] but was not tested for G2a3 subclades. But unusual values or unusual value combinations found at short tandem repeat markers (STRs) can also provide the basis of additional taxonomisation. Basically, haplogroups refer to organisms that have a common ancestor, identified by studying the nucleotide and mitochondrial mutations in cells. Should any man with the P15 mutation test negative (ancestral) for any of these or vice versa, that finding would be the basis of a new G2a category. Two additional markers, DYS38829, 30 and DYS46131 were typed separately. Semino O, Magri C, Benuzzi G, Lin AA, Al-Zahery N, et al. The forward primer is GTATTGAACTTACAATTCACGTCCC, and the reverse is CTCTCCAAATCGGGTTTCCT. Thus, these estimates should be viewed as the upper bounds of dispersal times. Origin. The frequency pattern and the microsatellite network of E-M2(xM191) indicate a West African origin followed by expansion, a result that is in agreement with the findings of Cruciani et al. Interestingly, the decrease of hg G frequency towards the eastern European populations inhabiting the area adjacent to NW Caucasus, such as southern Russians and Ukrainians,18, 40 is very rapid and the borderline very sharp, indicating that gene flow from the Caucasus in the northern direction has been negligible. His male-line descendants appear to remained rooted in the region for tens of thousands of years while the Ice Age was in full swing. Y-DNA haplogroups are useful to determine whether two apparently unrelated individuals sharing the same surname do indeed descend from a common ancestor in a not too distant past (3 to 20 generations). Moreover, these general frequencies mostly consist of two notable lineages. Taken as a collective group, P303-derived chromosomes are the most widespread of all hg G lineages (Supplementary Table S1 and Figure 2b) and clearly display differential geographic partitioning between L497 (Figure 2c) and U1 (xM527) (Figure 2d). G-M377, now also known as G2b1, has previously been designated G2b and G2c. The fragments were run on the ABI PRISM 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems). Also for P15* and L91 lineages Td estimates, DYS19 was excluded owing to duplications in these lineages.36. [43] L240 was identified in 2009.

The identification of a new SNP can necessitate renaming of one or more categories. Haplogroup F is the parent of haplogroups from G to R; however excluding these common haplogroups, the minor clades F*, F1, and F2, seem to appear in the Indian continent [68]. Sengupta S, Zhivotovsky LA, King R et al. The most detailed SNP mutation identified was S126 (L30), which defines G2a3.[11]. Men from the Caucasus and men from eastern Europe also form distinctive STR clusters. This group was created for the folks who's paternal Y-DNA reflects they belong to haplogroup G2a (G-P15). (2004) Origin, diffusion, and differentiation of Y-chromosome haplogroups E and J: inferences on the neolithization of Europe and later migratory events in the . Because M201 was identified first, it is the standard SNP test used when testing for G persons. Circles represent microsatellite haplotypes, the areas of the circles and sectors are proportional to haplotype frequency (smallest circle corresponds to one individual) and the geographic area is indicated by color.

Farther north, 8% of ethnic Hungarian males and 5.1% of ethnic Bohemian (Czech) males have been found to belong to Haplogroup G. In South Asia, some ethnic minorities possess haplogroup G at concentrations of approximately 18%[21] to 20%[22] of Kalash, approximately 16% of Brahui,[22] and approximately 11.5% of sampled Pashtun,[21] but in only about 3% of the general Pakistani population. We genotyped binary markers following PCR amplification, by either Denaturing High Performance Liquid Chromatography, RFLP analysis, Taqman assay (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) or direct Sanger sequencing methodology. (Behar et al., 2012b) Origin Most researchers consider the birthplace of G to have been born in East Asia. Russ J Genet 2004; 40: 326331. The coalescence age estimate of 9400 years for P16 coincides with the early Holocene (Supplementary Table S4). Haplogroup G2a (G-P15) has been identified in Neolithic human remains in Europe dating between 5000 and 3000 BC. In Wales, a distinctive G2a3b1 type (DYS388=13 and DYS594=11) dominates there and pushes the G percentage of the population higher than in England. The DYS391 marker has mostly a value of 10, but sometimes 11, in G2a2b1 persons, and DYS392 is almost always 11. The National Geographic Society places haplogroup G origins in the Middle East 30,000 years ago and presumes that people carrying the haplogroup took part in the spread of the Neolithic Two scholarly papers have also suggested an origin in the Middle East, while differing on the date. Mitochondrial DNA variation of modern Tuscans supports the near eastern origin of Etruscans. It was found with burial artifacts belonging to the Linearbandkeramische Kultur ("Linear Band Ceramic Culture"; LBK). Kayser M, Caglia A, Corach D et al. These Neolithic European were descendants of Neolithic farmers from Anatolia, among some of the earliest peoples in the world to practice agriculture. The haplogroups contain many branches called subhaplogroups or subclades. The corresponding coalescent estimate for M377 is 5600 years ago (Supplementary Table S4).

The coming of the Greeks to Provence and Corsica: Y-chromosome models of archaic Greek colonization of the western Mediterranean. Am J Hum Genet 2004; 74: 694704. First, we calculated haplogroup diversity using data in Supplementary Table S1 for the 52 instances when total population sample size exceeded 50 individuals and 5hg G chromosomes were observed. Artefactual values below 0% values were not depicted. PLoS One 2011; 6: e17548. However, its sub-clades have more localized distribution with the U1-defined branch largely restricted to Near/Middle Eastern and the Caucasus, whereas L497 lineages essentially occur in Europe where they likely originated.

The identities of the specific 19 loci that define the STR haplotypes are reported in Supplementary Table S3 and Figure 4 legend. A high percentage of G-Z1903 men belong to its subclade, G-Z724. The non-clustering paraphyletic, hg G sub-group P303* residuals consist of samples from Near/Middle Eastern, Caucasian and European populations. If a sample meets the criteria indicated for these three markers, it is likely the sample is G2a2b1. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in In Europe west of the Black Sea, Haplogroup G is found at about 5% of the population on average throughout most of the continent. It was then learned that several subclades belong under L223, including: G-L91 was identified in 2009. Geographic spread patterns of the P303-derived groups defined by L497, U1 and P15(xP303)-derived P16 and M406 lineages, all of which achieve a peak frequency of at least 10%, are presented in Figures 2bf, respectively. [23] About 6% of the samples from Sri Lanka and Malaysia were reported as haplogroup G, but none were found in the other coastal lands of the Indian Ocean or Pacific Ocean in Asia. To accommodate for variability in sample sizes and hg G content, haplogroup diversity was calculated using the method of Nei37 only in the 52 instances when total population sample size exceeded 50 individuals and 5hg G chromosomes were observed. Haplogroup G first locations (T. Kandell). This is likely due to a local founder effect.[40]. Science 2000; 290: 11551159. The P303 SNP defines the most frequent and widespread G sub-haplogroup. They are found only in tiny numbers elsewhere. Human Y chromosome DNA grouping common in western Eurasia, This article is about the human Y-DNA haplogroup. L2b1a. The G-P303 phylogenetic network was constructed using 248 G2a3b-P303-derived 19-locus haplotypes from populations representing Europe, Middle/Near East, South/Central Asia and the Caucasus and belonging to five sub-clades P303*, U1, M527, M426 and L497. Although progress has been recently made in resolving the haplogroup G phylogeny, a comprehensive survey of the geographic distribution patterns of the significant sub-clades of this haplogroup has not been conducted yet.
