yDNA Project Report 10 September 2008: New Members,  HaploGroup  & Format;  The Wider DNA Community Return to Analysis Report Index prior report
New Members, HaploGroup  and Format; The Wider DNA Community:     We have had several new participants join, including our first Haplogroup " I " OMahony.  Welcome!!!  The three newest members of the R1b1b2 Haplogroup portion of the Clan are circled on the diagram below. Profile 123804 matches the pattern  of the "ai" branch of the clan. 125840 matches the pattern of the "Irish2" branch of the clan. And 125512 establishes another variation.  Profiles 67716, 96288, 103822, and 108376 all extended their range of markers on file thereby giving us richer data for analysis.  Thank You!   126867 is our first Haplogroup " I " participant; nominally I2b.  Welcome! For those interested in knowing more about this important grouping, this site seems topical: FTDNA " I " Project  (additionally I2b Project Page and  this site  provided the  I2b modal and I2b1a/Sc pattern profile for the spreadsheet below).   We have also expanded our contact with the wider DNA / Genetic Genealogy community and learned a few new ways to view our profile data: By grouping profiles primarily by pattern match; and by enhancing our analysis with pattern profiles already identified in the wider community.  These already identified Haplogroup-R1b1b2-related pattern profiles are listed below:
Project collaboration pages for the other Haplogroups and pattern profiles are: E1b1b1 Project Irish Type I (nw) Irish Type II (south) Irish Type III Irish Type IV -- no site found yet Using these established pattern profiles adds value and structure to the spreadsheet and to the graphs (see below).  Clan Branches f and a/i establish new patterns so they still group to their own Clan Branch Modal profiles.  Irish1 is in the line of the former c/m branches; Irish2 knits together the former d/k/o/l branches; Irish3 is a direct match for the former b branch and is topical for the former j branch.  And the Clan_Modal is only a few markers different from the AMH profile.  Irish4 doesn't seem to apply, yet, to our Clan.   The spreadsheet below gives a good visual summary of the patterns.   The R1b1b2 profiles having 25 markers:
The R1b1b2 profiles having 37 markers.
The spreadsheet summary below groups profiles by HaploGroup, then by Modal Pattern Profile, using the Irish Type I-IV profiles introduced above. The columns noted in yellow are the patterns that differ by group from the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (which is listed on the chart (AMH)). The AMH is the modal pattern representing the stock from which the R1b1b2  portion of the Clan descend. Light blue represents markers that match the AMH profile.  The profiles in light Irish green are not yet identified to a pattern group or Modal anchor.  A pattern profile has not yet been located for E1b1b1/108376.  Likewise, pattern profiles have not yet been identified for a small group of R1b1b2 profiles.  Profile 102964, currently with unresolved Haplogroup, matches 5 of 9 key markers to the "IrishIV" pattern (55.6% match on key pattern markers), but differs by 8 other markers so is still considered ambiguous without additional testing to at least confirm that it would be appropriate to compare this profile to an R1b1b2-related pattern.
The chart below summarizes the match rate between our clan yDNA profiles and the various pattern profiles from above. The profiles are sorted within section to make it easier for members to locate their profile.  The top section is R1b1b2; the bottom section is our other 3 haplotype members. Note how profile 88090 matches to both Irish Type II and Irish Type III patterns. This is due in part to the curiosity that Type III only has 1 pattern marker in the 12 marker set. Since the Irish Type II has 3 pattern markers within the12 marker set it is considered the more likely match for 88090.  Members with only 12 markers on file are encouraged to expand their profile to enhance pattern matching and similar analyses.
