    1. [yDNAhgI] Testing for Scot I1-ESc-13?

    3. I’m beginning to sense that Scot malehood wants to suppress evidence of continental I1 infiltration of their mainly R1b...... ydna pool. Before the PC police pounce on me --- that was a joke --- I have sufficient Scot blood (probably now more than I thought last month) to be able to make jokes about Scotland. After contacting quite a few probable or potential members of a new clade I1-ESc-13 of strong Scot flavor, I note that none have responded with new STR or SNP testing orders. Below I give the STR characteristics of this clade. I have over 40 possible, probable, or confirmed haplotypes gathered. With regard to SNPs, five hard core members already are confirmed Z138+ Z139+ Markers 1-37 DYS385 = 13/15 DYS449 = 30 DYS464 = 12,14,14,16 DYS456 = 15 Markers 38-67 Important identifier DYS487 = 13 Markers 68-111 DYS710 = 31 DYS552 = 26 DYS635 = 20 DYS497 = 15 As you can see, some of the key identifiers are in the 67 or 111 marker extension of the haplotype. Remember: STRs mutate. Some of these STR values listed above do not hold for this or that bonified clade member, especially among the faster mutating markers. I believe FTDNA will sell DYS487 as a singleton STR, however, for modest price.
