Dear Ken

By that I mean being able to get complete haplotypes out of the database
for all individuals. Until that is available, the summaries that can be
extracted from it using your methods via abbreviated haplotypes (a
minimum of 7 markers are needed) and varying around the modal values
will always be only a proxy for the true situation. Interesting, but
extremely difficult for anybody to validate or explore using alternative
methods.

I have been pounded about using the term Frisian with R1bSTR22 by
several people. I know R1bSTR22 has almost identical modal values to
what you say Frisian is, and I did not want to confuse people. However,
the Ysearch data does not have good enough geographical coverage of the
region to make that assertion, for numerous reasons I now conclude I
cannot use the YHRD data, and I cannot do the same analysis on SMGF so I
suppose I have admit the problem and not use the term.

Note I am not saying you are not correct what I am saying is I cannot
independently confirm it.

Cheers

John McEwan

Please explain what you mean by restrictions on access and analysis of
that
data set? I haven't seen any.
