In a move that I know will make our community of citizen scientists and Y-SNP researchers very happy, Dr. Jim Wilson sent me an email with a file containing the ScotlandsDNA/BritainsDNA Chromo2 Y-SNP positions and this announcement today:
ScotlandsDNA are happy to share the chromosome positions for the Y
chromosome SNPs on the chromo2 chip. We hope these catalyse a step
change in the development of the Y chromosome tree. Wherever we have
looked the structure has increased greatly in resolution, but we simply
do not have time to analyse all the data and so are sharing this file
with the community to allow everyone to take part. These are the first
fruits of whole Y chromosome sequencing, taken out into a much larger
population - the beginning of understanding what all the new markers
mean.
The file can be found here.
Thanks again, Jim!
I received an email from Dr. Jim Wilson of BritainsDNA today which included a link to a spreadsheet with Chromo2 Y-SNP results. He has given me permission to publish it with his comments:
We have finally got round to releasing an anonymised dataset of ~2000 chromo2Y results. This is an excel sheet with ~14,200 SNP results for ~2000 random men using the chromo2 chip, so will be a goldmine for discovering further genealogical structure in European haplogroups. I think it will be of great interest to genetic genealogists and others who are interested in breaking down their haplogroups and subgroups.

Thanks again, Jim!
