Distinguishing the co-ancestries of haplogroup G Y-chromosomes in the populations of Europe and the Caucasus

Abstract: Haplogroup G, together with J2 clades, has been associated with the spread of agriculture, especially in the European context. However, interpretations based on simple haplogroup frequency clines do not recognize underlying patterns of genetic diversification. Although progress has been recently made in resolving the haplogroup G phylogeny, a comprehensive survey of the geographic distribution patterns of the significant sub-clades of this haplogroup has not been conducted yet. Here we present the haplogroup f… Show more

“…Frequencies of haplogroup G and its subgroups increase slightly towards the Near East and reach the highest values (70%) in populations of the west Caucasus [54][55][56], while G2a2b and its sub-clusters have been detected in modern-day Sardinia and Caucasus [56,57]. Haplogroup F* shows a diffuse dissemination pattern in Eurasia, which is based on its rarity and insufficient sub-haplogroup resolution in most population genetic studies.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] The International Society of Genetic Genealogy 10 has aggregated these variants and those discovered with previous technologies into a public resource that population surveys can leverage to further elucidate the geographic origins of and structure within haplogroups. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Y-chromosome haplogroup R (hg R) is one of 20 that comprise the standardized global phylogeny. 14 It consists of two main components: R1-M173 and R2-M479 15 (Figure 1).…”

“…Most of the chromosomes in the Caucasus carry haplogroup G with a frequency ranging between 13% in Iran (Regueiro et al, 2006) and 70% in the population of North Ossetia (Balanovsky et al, 2011;Yunusbayev et al, 2012). Rootsi et al (2012) have proposed that, despite the total absence of chromosomes carrying the paragroup G-M201* in their dataset, the place of origin of G-M201 would be near Eastern Anatolia, Armenia or Western Iran, the only regions marked by the presence of deep basal branches added to the occurrence of high subhaplogroup diversity.…”
