If you have the raw sequence, services like yfull.com can help provide more detailed information. At this point, new haplotypes are being called every month. When I sequenced my own haplotype about 20 years ago (I was in the Indian lab partner of the Genographic Project at the time), the best we could do was call a few handfuls of mutations by hand (I used to run the gels myself) and my own haplotype was characterized out to maybe 3 mutations - the current haplotype is perhaps out to 20?
- viewtransform 4y agoI don't have the raw sequence. The project handled DNA data in total privacy. I did send my DNA swab a second time about 5-6 years later, this time to look at my maternal line (mitochondrial dna). The report had changed quite a bit possibly because the project had gathered more data in the intervening years. . I've stopped looking into this further - I really don't care about my ancestors or genetics. More interested in humans as a whole - and for that we need more data.
- valarauko 4y agoThe field has advanced incredibly since then - uniparental markers like mitochondria or Y are a helpful clue, but we have so much genome wide information now. Indian population genetics is still in its infancy, though, since Indian government rules around the export of biomaterial means only Indian labs can work on them, and honestly most of them have strong biases they're looking to confirm. So much of the Indian population information in databases is simply extrapolated from tiny, non-representative samples collected from Indians abroad.
