What is really annoying about articles like these is that they don't actually tell you the Y-DNA haplotypes or SNPs in the phylogenic graph. Even if it isn't cluttering up the main article it would be great to have as footnote information for those of us who actually know our Y-DNA information.
Sure enough, by clicking through and getting to the real journal article, this is the footnote that accompanies the graph which is duplicated in the Discover article:
Figure 1 - Median-joining network (Bandelt et al. 1999)
representing Y-chromosomal variation within haplogroup C*
(xC3c). Chromosomes were typed with a minimum of 16 binary
markers (Qamar et al. 2002; Zerjal et al. 2002; our
unpublished observations), including RPS4Y and M48, to
define the lineage C*(xC3c) (Y-Chromosome-Consortium 2002),
also known as haplogroup 10, derived for RPS4Y and
ancestral for M48. Sixteen Y microsatellites were also
typed, but DYS19 was excluded from the network analysis
because it is duplicated in haplogroup C. The central star-
cluster profile is 10-16-25-10-11-13-14-12-11-11-11-12-8-10-
10, for the loci DYS389I-DYS389b-DYS390-DYS391-DYS392-
DYS393-DYS388-DYS425-DYS426-DYS434-DYS435-DYS436-DYS437-
DYS438-DYS439. Circles represent lineages, area is
proportional to frequency, and color indicates population
of origin. Lines represent microsatellite mutational
differences.
If you are interested in DNA and haven't tested your own Y/mt-DNA, I highly recommend getting it tested (e.g. FamilyTreeDNA) and finding out a little bit more about yourself.
