gnomancer

Y chromosome (paternal line)

Haplogroup R

R

A widespread Eurasian lineage whose main branches dominate Europe, Central Asia and South Asia.

How gnomancer finds it

The Y haplogroup is called from the Y-chromosome sites on your chip by yhaplo (ISOGG tree) with a second opinion from Yleaf on the current YFull, FamilyTreeDNA and ISOGG trees. Arrays type a few thousand Y sites, so the call stops at roughly this depth; Y sequencing (e.g. Big Y-700) is needed for a terminal subclade.
