gnomancer

mitochondrial DNA (maternal line)

Haplogroup K

K

A branch of U8 common across Europe and the Near East; three K sub-lineages account for about a third of Ashkenazi maternal lines.

How gnomancer finds it

The mitochondrial haplogroup is called by Haplogrep3 against PhyloTree 17 from the few hundred mtDNA sites on your chip, compared with the rCRS reference. Sub-branches usually need full mitochondrial sequencing.

Run it on your own raw file: install gnomancer (nothing is uploaded), or ask your AI assistant with the MCP server.
