I have created several charts to help the researcher be able to view the genetic distances of our large number of paricipants.
Chart 1 shows the Gentic Distance between each
of the members of what have arbitrarily decided to call Group 1. All of these people have the same haplotype and likely
have a common undiscovered ancestor.
Chart 2 shows the Genetic Distance between each of the members of what I have arbitrarily decided to call Group
2. All of these people have the same haplotype and likely have a common undiscovered ancestor.
Chart 3 shows the Genetic
Distance between those with Haplotype
I.
These paricipants all have the I Haplotype but are not necessarily related to one another as indicated by the genetic distances listed in the
chart.
As a control included is one member of Group 1 (Kit 9386) and one member of Group 2 (kit 17010) in this chart so one may see the genetic distance between members of Chart 3 and of those in the group 1 and 2 charts.
Chart 4 includes all other members in the project, plus, for comparative purposes, one member from group 1 (Kit 9386) representing all the members of Group 1, and one member from Group 2 (Kit 17010) representing the
members of Group
2.
As a control included is one member of Group 1 (Kit 9386) and one member of Group 2 (kit 17010) in this chart so one may see the genetic distance between members of Chart 3 and of those in the group 1 and 2 charts.
One should read the chart as one would read mileage on a map. Use the rows left to right and the columns from top to bottom. The number where the lines intersect is the genetic distance between two persons being
compared.
A Genetic Distance of 0 is an exact match. Likewise 1 is a One Step Mis-match or Mutation.
