Don't understand SNPs, STRs, haplogroups, haplotypes discussed below? 
Link to terminology page

Subcategories of haplogroup G are based on special SNP testing. 

SNPs are mutations passed on to descendants and are usually permanent changes.  The SNPs are
referred to by the designation of a site on the Y-DNA chromosome, such as M201 and P15.  The +
sign indicates the SNP mutation is present.  All G persons will have the first and oldest SNP mutation that
occurred at M201.
 
Discovery of new SNPs is an ongoing process.   New discoveries within other haplogroups
have required reassignment of designations, and it may be possible 10 years from now that none
of the G subgroups below will have the same designation.  The results of testing for the individual SNPs
will remain the same, but they could have different classification in the future.  Major reclassifications
took place in 2007-08.

The SNP mutations that occurred later than the general G mutation (M201+) are shown below. 
A person who belongs to one branch, such as G1, will not belong to branch, such as G2.
As an example, a person who is in subgroup G1 will have the M285 mutation (M285+) but will
lack the SNP for G2 (P287+).  

In addition, this G1 (M285+) person may or may not belong to a subgroup of G1.

This G genetic tree contains several new SNPs not yet added to the trees of the commercial labs

         G2a2 = M286+ 
         G2a3 = U8+ or S126+ or L30+ or S148+ 
              G2a3a = M406+
                    G2a3a1 = U16+ or L14+ or S130+ or S133+

====================================================
The initial data from the Walk through the Y Project has provided preliminary
information on other new SNPs .   Some are not named yet.

Link to Family Tree DNA's working draft of new categories with techincal info. 

Also available is an unofficial G tree which includes odd marker values added
to the SNP categories.  The odd marker values are not as iron-clad determinants
of a category as SNPs.

================================================== 
                    
G1 is uncommon among G persons in Europe.  It seems to be in highest concentration in
        Iran.  Turkey and perhaps parts of the Middle East have a significant population of G1.
G1a was first found among 4 men in Turkey, and is occasionally seen elsewhere. Thomas
        Krahn (see below) found that the SNP for this is defective and will not always be 
        present when it should be.
G1b is so new it is unclear who might below to this subgroup.  A Sri Lankan sample exists.
G2a as found in its subgroups is in the majority among G persons worldwide.  
G2a1, particularly G2a1a may be the most common in the north Caucasus region
         [testing is lacking from there] because of haplotypes there similar to European
         G2a1a men.  G2a1 is quite uncommon in Europe..  
         Researcher Thomas Krahn of Family Tree DNA in July 2007 published information that the
        markers for G2a1 and G2a1a  (then called G2a & G2a1) may not be reliable tests.
        http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GENEALOGY-DNA/2007-07/1185576938
        He suggests ordering a special marker test, DYF411 if the initial marker values
        suggest one is G2a(now G2a1) but not confirmed by SNP testing.  He  suggests that DYS425=12
        (from Family Tree DNA's 38-67 marker panel should raise a red flag) that a person is
        G2a1, but my own data suggests this might include too many persons.  Of those who are
        confirmed G2 so far from Europe, all have an unusual DYS392 value of 10.  They
        also have DYS425=12.  Perhaps the combination is even more predictive, but enough
        data are probably lacking at present.  The DYS392 value of 10 is not unique to G2a1
        though rare in Europe.
        Family Tree removed G2a1 and G2a1a from its trees in July 2007 but re-instated
        them when other labs apparently declined to remove them.
 G2a2 was reported in a Turkish study in one man and among several Europeans.
 G2a3 tentatively seems to exist overwhelmingly as subgroups (see just below)
 G2a3a  This is apparently relatively common in Greece and Turkey, and may be most common
         elsewhere in the Mediterranean countries.  More samples of this new test needed to
         provide valid info on its distribution.
G2a3a1  Meager information is available. It seems so far primarily a Turkish-Greek group.
G2a3a2  Meager information is available.  New in September 2009
G2a3b is a newly discovered SNP, and a high percentage of those who are in this category will
          also belong to a subgroup
G2a3b1 seems the most common G category in Europe.  Many of these men -- especially in 
            northwestern Europe -- have DYS388= 13 or DYS568=9. 
G2a3b1a Virtually all men belong to the subcategory of G2a3b1a  (see just below)
G2a3b1a1  It is particularly common among Germanic G persons.  It would
         seem that this category can be predicted in a high percentage of cases based on marker 
         values as it occurred recently enough.   
G2a3b1b...a tiny minority within the DYS388= 13 group.
G2a3b1b1...Perhaps a quarter of the DYS388= 13 group belong to this.  Most common among
          Swiss DYS388=13 men but its membershipis unpredictable.
 G2a3b1c.....only one man so far has this mutation...may be recently developed
 G2a3b2 ...only a few men belong to this category apparently and so far only in Ireland
 G2a4 ...only a few men identified so far belonging to this group, but is probably much
           more common in some countries poorly represented in our data
 G2b was reported in a Turkish study in one man.  It is apparent this is so rare that
                it might actually be a mutation specific to a small family grouping.  Krahn has
                suggested abolishing this as a tested SNP, but it is still available.
 G2c ....Among Europeans, a group of mostly Ashkenazi Jews.  Found also in Turkey
            and Middle East.  The Middle Eastern G2c's seem mostly Maronite Christians.
            The Ashkenazi G2c's also have a null value for DYS425, meaning 
            the marker does not provide a numerical value upon testing. 
 G2c1 is found mostly among non-Ashkenazi G2c persons east of Iran


Diagram that shows 471 G men with the same 67-markers.
[September 2009 version]

The diagram was constructed with the shareware program, Nexus, by Fluxus Software,
selecting the features for assembling Y-chromosome data.  The relationships shown are imperfectly depicted
due to absence of samples or the failure of some branches to survive.  Some nearby persons on the charts 
may not be closely related unless they are part of a cluster.  Solitary persons at the end of long branches
tend to move about as new samples are added.

The larger yellow nodes indicate multiple men at that node share the same close values.

The marker values were given special weightings  to de-emphasize proportionally those markers that
show the most diversity of values and that experience mutations more frequently.  This procedure has been 
been used in published studies.

Clades (clusters) of G persons 

                            For easy reference, the surnames of included samples are shown just below the links to
                            subgroup pages.  For easy name search, depress the Ctrl key, then hit the F key to activate a 
                            "find" box.  Some surnames are found in more than one group -- check the kit number
                            or Y-Search code.  Non-English accent marks were not used with surnames.

                            The information here was assembled by Ray Banks from various sources.
       
                             Common marker values found for the major groups below are:
                             G1 -                                DYS392= 12
                             G2a1a -                           DYS392=10
                             G2a3a -                           DYS390=21
                             G2a3b1* (DYS568=9)   DYS568=9andYCA=20,21
                             G2a3b1*(DYS388=13)  DYS388=13
                                                                           DYS594=11 (a subgroup of DYS388=13)
                             G2a3b1a1 -                    YCA=19,20  with DYS385a of 12 or 13
                             G2c -                              DYS389= 14,32 or 14,31
                                      These values are not unique to these groups and not required.

The Family Tree DNA categorization of G samples  
                           
There exists a version of the listing of G categories provided by Family Tree DNA.  This is according to
the lab's standard format which means many limitations in the display.  Perhaps the most serious limitation
involves very short titles for categories. Using the category names listed above on this page you should be able
to match the categories  to the ones at Family Tree.  Sometimes the Family Tree category titles use group numbers
rather than a descriptive title, and the categories at Family Tree are subdivided less for large groups than above. 
The categorization at Family Tree DNA is not automatic.  Each sample has been individually placed according
to a category.

The advantages of the Family Tree listing is that samples all are on the same page.  Haplogroup entries in green
represent categories confirmed by SNP testing.  Red entries for this catergory are only predicted by the lab.  In my
categorizations, all names pertaining to a specific SNP have the same background color no matter how many
subgroups are encompassed by a particular SNP.

Some of the men listed are fully confirmed to be in the SNP category listed.  Others, especially those
with only 12 markers as the only test result, are only predicted to be in that category.
Link to the Family Tree version of G categorization in wide screen format.  This may not function during
peak times of usage and may load slowly (or not at all) over slow connections.

A different version of the Family Tree DNA display exists.  It is more cumbersome due to using a window
within a window, but it has a GoogleMap showing the ancestral origins of members which are
generally correct but may have some guesses. Separate map displays are available for G categories using the
menu at top left.  You will have to zoom in to see any details.  About 86% of project members have provided
locations of their oldest known ancestor.  It is recommended that you NOT use the wide screen format option on
this page as there is a distinct possibility the screen will not have enough memory.


Thanks to Peter Christy, Bill Van Hemert, Ted Kandell, Whit Athey and others who have provided research
or participant recruitment.  All surnamed samples are from persons who have joined the Haplogroup G
project at Family Tree DNA or public databases or are from persons not in public databases
who have given specific permission for display of their data.  Anyone desiring to have their samples
removed, need only request this.  Any errors are my sole responsibility, and I will willingly change
anything that is not correct.
