Sandy, the 49-239222-48714 doesn't have any intrinsic meaning. It is an arbitrary label I assign to an STR signature based cluster or what I call a speculative variety. Some people assign ethnic or origin labels but I find sometimes things don't turn out like you think so I try to avoid origins and the like when labeling varieties. There is some method to this. I assign the labels so that sorting and selecting within the spreadsheet will put one variety side by side with another that appears related to. In this case 49 is DF49, 23 is DF23, 29 is Z2961, 222 is M222 and 48714 is DYS487=14. In this particular group I've also recently added an 8 after the 222 because one section of these appear to be DF85 (8 for DF85).
