Hi All,
Thinking about testing for Chromo 2, and wondered what these overall results might tell us about L513 and subclades. As I understand it so far (I may be off mark here!), there are two main scenarios:
1. L513 has been present all over the isles (and elsewhere), and the various subclades (193, 69.5 etc) developed independently of each other in various locations; OR
2. Some of the subclades, if not all, are directly related chronologically, i.e. L193 developed first, which led to L69.5 in time...or vice versa...(that's just an example)...As I understand it, some of the groups are more closely related than others (e.g. A1 and A2); but how and when did one lead to the other??
Am I right in this? And if so, could/should chromo2 allow us to ascertain which of these possibilities are most likely?
