5. If you had only tested your Y-DNA STR markers, your predicted Y-DNA Haplogroup will appear on the right side of the
page. If you have also taken the Y-DNA SNP Backbone test, your confirmed Y-DNA Haplogroup will appear on the right
side of the page. If you had take the Y-DNA SNP Subclade test, your confirmed Y-DNA Subclade will appear on the right
side of the page if you are viewing your Subclade results.

Description: Click here to view
what is currently known today
about the distribution of your Y-
DNA Haplogroup.
Timeline: A timeline is shown
which illustrates the genetic path
taken by your ancestors. The
letters in the timeline represents
the parent Haplogroups from
which you descended from in the
order that it occurred. The
numbers under the letters show
the genetic markers which are
found in those Haplogroups.
Migration map: The migration
map shows the approximate
migration path your ancestors
took and the approximate region
of the world that they settled.
Origin: Furthest known male
ancestor, also known as “Y-
Chromosomal Adam”. All
people living today descended
from this man.
Haplogroup: Main branches
of Y-DNA Phylogenetic tree.
Subclade: Further subbranches
of Y-DNA
Phylogenetic tree.
Further Studies: Click here to
see whether there are further
tests available to refine your
Haplogroup or Subclade.
Predicted Y-DNA
Haplogroup: After taking your
Y-DNA STR test, your Y-DNA
Haplogroup is predicted by
comparing your Y-DNA STR
markers to the Y-DNA STR
marker results of individuals
who have already taken both
the STR test and the SNP
Backbone test and have
already confirmed their Y-DNA
Haplogroup. The closest
matching Haplogroup is shown
here and a prediction strength
is provided. The only way to
conclusively determine your Y-
DNA Haplogroup by taking the
Y-DNA SNP Backbone test.
Y-DNA Phylogenetic Tree: Click here to view your placement in the Y-DNA Phylogenetic tree of
mankind. This tree shows how all known Y-DNA Haplogroups are interconnected with each other. It
also shows you exactly where you fit into the Y-DNA Phylogenetic tree of mankind.
Genetic Markers: The
genetic markers found in each
Haplogroup and Subclade are
listed.
