Follow the directions below for
preparing and submitting your Y-DNA SNP data file
·
Note that if you are not concerned
about medical privacy issues, you may simply submit the raw data file (the
zipped file) without editing it. If you do so, the data for Chromosomes 1-22,
X, and the mtDNA entries will be discarded and will not be published. If you
are submitting the raw data file, skip down to the e-mail step below.
·
Open the zip file download and find
the data file
·
Right-click on the data file and
select “Open With” and then “Wordpad”
·
Edit the file to remove the
information for Chromosomes 1-22, X, and the mtDNA entries (see detailed instructions for more information on editing the
file)
Chromosomes 1-22, X, and the mtDNA
entries may contain data about medical information and health traits for you
·
Y-Chromosome entries have an upper
case “Y” in each row of data.
Y-Chromosome SNP data does not contain
any medical information or information about health traits
·
The first line of “Y” data should
begin with: rs11575897
·
The last line of “Y” data should
begin with:
·
deCODEme v2: rs7474471
·
deCODEme v1: rs9786787
·
The file should contain approximately
this many lines of text:
·
deCODEme v2: 1182
·
deCODEme v1: 858
·
E-mail the data file to Adriano
Squecco, asquecco@gmail.com
·
When submitting the file, please
specify:
·
Surname to use with data (normally
yours, but anonymous or geographic location OK)
·
Do you give permission to list your
e-mail address (optional)
·
Your Y-DNA haplogroup (see the
Analysis/Ancestry/Male Line tab)
·
Geographic location of your earliest
known paternal ancestor
·
Ysearch ID if you have done Y-DNA STR
testing and submitted the results to Ysearch.org
Thank you for sharing your data, your time, and your ideas and
helping us further our understanding of the Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree.
