FTDNA has recently updated the Y-DNA tree used in their own system. By updating, correcting, etc. the tree, they have altered the mutation definitions for some SNPs as well as adding new SNPs. Does anyone know when these new mutation definitions will be made available to the public domain? (By mutation definitions I mean specifying what is Ancestral and Derived for a given SNP.) I recently tried to find a current version of the old ISOGG SNP-Compendium and was surprised to find that the link to it has been completely removed. This must mean that a new version is now a work-in-process. My interest in this was tweaked just last week when I finally had my Geno2 data transferred to FTDNA. I checked the new SNPs displayed in my FTDNA tree page and found that some didn't match what my previous mutation table suggested they should be. I finally realized that any comparisons between new FTDNA and old 23andMe and old Geno2 and old FTDNA raw data are pointless without the new table. What do I do now?

Jim, the I-M223 section of the FTDNA Haplotree has not been updated. It still contains six error SNPs and three where the SNP is at the wrong level and listed as phyloequivalent to one or more downstream.
