Subject: Re: [DNA] Come again with how to discern H2a2? Or is it H*?

When people get their results of the FGS from the
testing companies, they sometimes get confused,
especially when they immediately go to a phylogenetic
tree to find the polymorphisms.

If you happen to be in the part of the H2 section that is
CRS, then the markers listed on the tree will NOT be
the markers in your CR results section that is reported
to you.

Therefore if you have these:
A750G, A1438G, A4769G, A8860G, A15326G
please DON'T look for these markers on the actual
trees because you will NOT be in the CRS even if
you think you should be.

If you are in the standard CRS you will likely have
750A,1438A, 4769A, 8860A and 15326A and these
are also the markers on the phylogenetic tree that
distinguish you from the other subclades. But because
the CRS is the standard by which all other subclades
are judged, if you are CRS, you will NOT have these
markers reported to you and you will need to realize
that it is what is NOT reported by the testing companies
that is important for you to know when you look at
the tree at Mitomap. It is also the same when you
look at Ian Logan's H2 site as well. If you are CRS,
then the polymorphisms are the ones listed above that
are NOT reported to you in your report.

I hope that wasn't as clear as mud.

How does Argus report on the CR (coding region)
markers? FTDNA tells you the differences you
have from the CRS in a "CR" section. I differ
from the CRS at 3388, 8860 and 15326 so my
branch comes off the tree just above the CRS and
is still part of the proposed H2a2 (formerly? H2b).

I am not clear on the H* designation. Is anyone
ever just reported as plain H with no further
sub-classification?
