FWIW, the Full Genomes raw data for my I1-Z138 shows 79/79 reads of C (same as reference) at 14888161. The data looks reliable, although one of the reads says there is an identical sequence on chromosome 4. -----Original Message----- > From: Julie Frame Falk > Sent: Monday, May 26, 2014 5:00 AM > To: I1-Z58andZ63 Project ; Y-DNA Haplogroup I > Subject: [yDNAhgI] YFull Interpretation - new branches in I1-L803 > > Dear Lists > > > > Family Tree DNA did not report any of our 15 Big Y testers as being derived > for the novel variant 14888161.
