<Dr Nordtvedt: Not exactly; the Z snps have so far mainly given formal credentials to the I1 clades earlier found by examining the off-equilibrium clustering of extended STR haplotypes (sort of like giving marriage licenses to common-law couples on their 50th anniversaries), and helping sort out the time relationships of those clade foundings.> I think it is important that the new SNP tree is compatible to the old STR tree, i.e. no one old STR subclade is partitioned among two or more SNPs. The only thing which probably will be not quite adequate is the descriptor AS of some STR subclades, but this is not a big problem.

The I1 generics will be sorted out in a more timely fashion with the Z snps, but this will still be a very slow process, and it could be speeded up by the (more costly) process of extensions to 111 STRs.
