When you get that paper done, I'd like to have a copy!  I need some simplified answers myself, and I am resisting the urge to unsubscribe just because I don't understand it all (right now).

Dear Friends,
I am new to this list. Be aware that I am neither a geneticist nor a
scientist, but I am a businessman who has a hard time understanding most of
the
posts on this list. I had my DNA tested for National Geographic’s
“Genograhic
Project.” Let me give you the results, then I have a question.
My Genographic Project results say I belong to Haplogroup G2, carrying the
following Y-chromosome markers: M168 > M89 > M201 > P15
Furthermore it says my Short Tandem Repeats (STRs)/Loci are as follows:
14/393; 14/19; 10/391; 11/439; 12/389-1; 17/389-2; 13/388; 22/390; 11/426;
15/385a; 15/385b; and 11/392. Believe me when I say I can partially understand
the
Mutations (M), but have absolutely no understanding of STRs and Loci or what
they mean. One of the problems one gets from National Geographic’s “
Genograhic Project” is that its very generic, doesn’t explain most of the
terminology used and the haplogroup G2 just “stops” in Greece.
Project: My grandson will belong to the same Haplogroup with the same
markers. I am trying to write a paper which explains his “Genetic History”
and the
geographic migration of his G2 haplogroup over the last 60,000 years for my
15-year old grandson. In order for it to be somewhat interesting to him I am
trying, with minimal success, to put as much in laymen’s language as is
possible.
QUESTION: Based on my G2 haplogroup, Y-chromosome makers, STRs and Loci does
anyone of website(s) where I might go to get an explanation of its “Genetic
History” and geographic migration through time, from inception to today. I
am not looking for a 100-page professional scientific article on the subject,

rather a 15 page explanation and description of our haplogroups Genetic
History and geographic migration. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!

Respectfully,
Jim Forcum
