How Haplogroups Are Determined
Understanding the science behind haplogroup identification
SNP Analysis
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are analyzed to identify unique genetic markers that define each haplogroup branch.
Phylogenetic Trees
Haplogroups are organized into phylogenetic trees showing the evolutionary relationships between different lineages.
Geographic Distribution
Ancient DNA samples and modern population studies help map the geographic origins and migration patterns of each haplogroup.
