It additionally provides us roughly 700 STR markers whereas the earlier take a look at solely gave roughly 500 STRs. Consequently, the outdated take a look at is known as the Massive Y-500 and the brand new one is known as the Massive Y-700. Going ahead, all new Massive Y orders will use this new expertise.
For many who did the outdated take a look at, it’s doable to improve from the Massive Y-500 to the Massive Y-700. However for everybody who does the brand new take a look at, or upgrades from the outdated model to the brand new model, it’s important that you simply add a replica of your outcomes to the Massive Tree in order that we are able to get some important extra analyses. You’ll find directions for doing so on the Massive Tree web site right here and on the Y-DNA Information Warehouse web site right here however I embody a briefer abstract under.
What do you get out of your Outcomes?
Your outcomes must be analysed inside every week or two and you may examine them by navigating to your explicit portion of the Massive Tree. For members of Ryan Group 2 (for instance), their Terminal SNP is M756 and you can see this department on the Massive Tree right here (see screenshot under). The diagram properly illustrates their placement on the Tree of Mankind and the surnames of the individuals sitting on neighbouring branches to their very own. This info will be very helpful for figuring out the geographic origins of your explicit direct male line and for figuring out in case your identify is related to an Historic Irish Clan.
Venture Directors can use programmes just like the SAPP device to generate Mutation Historical past Timber and decide the doubtless branching construction of your explicit “genetic household” from the time of surname origins as much as the current day. This course of can even assist establish which Ryan’s (for instance) are extra carefully associated to one another and that are extra distantly associated. It’s also doable to this point the branching factors throughout the Mutation Historical past Tree utilizing SNP information in addition to STR information. This course of is more likely to turn out to be extra correct with the arrival of the brand new Massive Y-700 information and the identification of latest SNPs. It’s anticipated that the brand new information will scale back the variety of “years per SNP” from about 130 to about 80 years per SNP. You may learn extra about this right here.
You may also click on in your surname above your equipment quantity for an evaluation of your Distinctive / Non-public SNPs. These might show helpful sooner or later for outlining new downstream branches within the Mutation Historical past Tree and for relationship new branching factors. However this very a lot is determined by new individuals becoming a member of the undertaking and endeavor Massive Y-700 testing (in order that we are able to evaluate apples with apples). And as this can be a new take a look at, it’s doubtless that we must wait a while earlier than we start to see actual advantages from it.
Making a Hyperlink to your Massive Y outcomes
With a view to create a downloadable hyperlink to your Massive Y outcomes, first log in to your FTDNA account and go to your Massive Y Outcomes web page …
Then click on on the blue Obtain Uncooked Information button …
Then it’s essential to create a hyperlink to two separate recordsdata – your VCF file and your BAM file. The VCF file is used for putting you on The Massive Tree. The BAM file is used for high-end technical evaluation by the oldsters on the Y-DNA Information Warehouse. You may see a number of the outcomes to this point on their Protection Web page right here (and in case you like you possibly can seek for kits by surname, together with your individual).
1) to create a hyperlink to your VCF file, proper click on on the inexperienced Obtain VCF button, after which click on on “Copy hyperlink” from the drop-down menu. You’ll later paste this hyperlink into the the “Obtain URL” field on the Submission Type.
Alternatively you possibly can merely (left) click on on the inexperienced Obtain VCF button and this downloads a 10 MB file to your pc. This may then be instantly uploaded by way of the Submission Type under. Nonetheless it’s preferable (and fewer problematic) to generate a hyperlink as an alternative.
2) to create a hyperlink to your BAM file, click on on the inexperienced Generate BAM button. You’ll then get a message that “Your Massive Y BAM file is at present being generated” (see under). This generates a very massive BAM file … however it takes a number of days to arrange so you’ll have to come again to this web page in a number of days time! Put a reminder in your diary / calendar!
Importing your VCF file
Having created the primary hyperlink (to your VCF file) and copied it, click on right here to go to the Y-DNA Information Warehouse and fill within the type together with your normal info – e mail, equipment quantity, surname of your paternal MDKA (Most Distant Identified Ancestor), and (most significantly) the hyperlink to your file – you do that by pasting the hyperlink you copied earlier into the “Obtain URL” field beneath the heading “Uncooked Information Add” on the backside of the web page.
If you wish to add the precise file itself (moderately than a hyperlink), click on on the blue Direct tab below “Uncooked Information Add” after which click on on the “Select File” button and fasten the file from the place you downloaded it onto your pc (on my laptop computer, the “Select File” button seems to be barely hidden below some textual content however it works in case you click on on the beginning of the textual content).Â
Do not forget to tick the checkbox to substantiate you agree with the Information Coverage after which click on the blue Submit button.
Importing your BAM file
A number of days later, come again to this similar place to get a hyperlink to your newly generated BAM file. So, navigate to your Massive Y Outcomes web page, and after clicking on the blue Obtain Uncooked Information button, you can see that the BAM file has been generated. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT – you needn’t and it’s approach too large. As an alternative, click on on the inexperienced Share BAM button after which the inexperienced Copy button with a purpose to copy a hyperlink to your BAM file. You’ll share this hyperlink within the subsequent step.
Then go to the Y-DNA Information Warehouse and fill in the identical type as earlier than BUT …
- choose Different for the Testing Lab
- enter your Equipment ID QuantityÂ
- go away the whole lot else on its default setting
- paste the hyperlink to the BAM file within the “Obtain URL” field beneath the heading “Uncooked Information Add”
- tick the checkbox to substantiate you agree with the Information Coverage after which click on the blue Submit button
