Insight Into mtDNA of Jermulowske's W-Update
N2 is the mother of us-W is a branch off of it that we happen to belong to. N1 is its sister.
I thought we had originated from N1 but I was wrong.
N1a: N1a is traceable in inhabitants of Eurasia, particularly those of Iran and some Indian territories. The haplogroup's representation is limited to the flat, barren steppe of western and central Asia.
N1b: The peoples of the Near and Middle East regions of Asia can be found among N1b's progeny. Scientists have linked this haplogroup specifically with the Jewish Ashkenazi peoples. The point is, these events (splitting of N to N1, then N1 to W, N1a, N1b) happened tens of thousands of years ago, at a time when (scientifically) there was no differentiation of peoples into modern ethnic groups. The particular N1b motif among the Ashkenazi are laid to a founder event about 2000 years ago. This is interpreted to mean that half of the Ashkenazi are descended from a very small group of women from the Near East of four mtdna haplotypes who migrated to central Europe about 2,000 years ago.
Where we fit on the tree of W:
Wilvaja
Tree Position: Wx 16145 16066 16129.
HVR1 Values: 16066G 16129A 16145A 16223T 16292T 16519C. Cannot be placed.
Origin: Slovenia.
Mother: Wilvaha.
Crosslink: SIJAN2. HVR1: 16066G 16129A 16145A 16223T 16292T. CITY: Ljubljana. COUNTRY: Slovenia. LATITUDE: 46.06. LONGITUDE: 14.51. TESTEDWITH: Homo sapiens isolate 260 from Balkans, mitochondri. SOURCE: Harvey 2000.
12/1/09: from W website- The other interesting feature is that the sequence is W1, belonging to the 16320 sub branch. The 16320 sub branch appears to have two main branches, one centred around Poland and the other in Iberia.Paper here:http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/8/167/

We have matches: 6 Ashkenazi from the Russian Federation, 3 Ashkenazi from Lithuania, 1 Ashkenazi from Hungary, 1 Ashkenazi from Belarus and 2 Ashkenazi from Ukraine. -as of 3/1/10
