HYPOTHETICAL HAPLOGROUP.  This hypothetical haplogroup represents the allele values most common among our project participants.  When an allele mutates away from this hypothetical value, it is highlighted with a color representing the genetic distance from the established norm.  Alleles usually mutate in increments of one step at a time.  However, some alleles (464a, b, c, d, & YCAIIa, b) often mutate in increments larger than one step at a time.  So mutations of these alleles that are greater than one step (two, three, four steps, etc.) are only counted as a genetic distance of one and will be highlighted with yellow.

 

Color Code:           00 = genetic distance from hypothetical allele value is 1

                                00 = genetic distance from hypothetical allele value is 2

                                00 = genetic distance from hypothetical allele value is 3

                                00 = genetic distance from hypothetical allele value is 4 or greater

 

Some alleles have a tendency to mutate faster than others, which is taken into consideration when calculating the probabilities of a most recent common ancestor.  These alleles are shown in red.
