Subject: [DNA] Is there a site for mtDNA J other than FTDNA?
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2007 09:26:37 +1100


I have recently received my mtDNA results from EthnoAncestry and am looking to gain some knowledge
of this area of DNA genetics.
As I have not tested my mtDNA at FTDNA, I cannot join their J1 project
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/J1/
Are there any mtDNA websites or projects devoted to J testees from other labs?

I have found an extremely informative MSc Thesis by Piir Serk titled " Human Mitochondrial DNA
Haplogroup J in Europe and Near East"
http://www.utlib.ee/ekollekt/diss/mag/2004/b16664851/Serk.pdf
He includes some very interesting Phylogenetic networks of Haplogroup J in Europe, Near East and
North Africa
In this thesis he says the combination of my 185a, 188g and 228a defines the J1b subclade and in his
diagram I see a subclade that is defined by my mutations that has been found in Northern, Eastern
and Central Europe.
In my exact matches at Genetree, I find:- England 10, Ireland 7, Scotland 6, Sweden 4, Slovenia 4,
Hungary 4, Germany 3, Finland 2, Norway 2, Czech Rep 1, Netherlands 1 which bears out this Northern,
Eastern and Central Europe origin.

My mutations are:-
16069t, 16126c, 16519c
73g, 185a, 188g, 228a, 263g, 295t, 315.1c, 462t, 489c
