DMXX's Geno 2.0 Results

[Imadaddin Nasimi]

Your results look like to me. I am fully Azerbaijani Turk from Azerbaijan Republic.

This is my results


My maternal lineage from Tabriz --> Yerevan (now Armenia but historical Azerbaijani Khanate in 18th century) She is ethnic Azerbaijani.
My paternal lineage from East Iran (probably Mashhad or Herat)--> Esfahan-->Azerbaijan in 18 th century. He is ethnic Azerbaijani.

Nice results, I just ordered my Geno 2.0 DNA kit. I predict my two, and probably only principle components will be Mediterranean and Southwest Asian.

Here are my results:
Southwest Asian=46%
Mediterranean=25%
Northern European=11%
Southeast Asian=11%
Northeast Asian=4%
Native American=2%
Can anyone guess my ethnicity?

Are you from Pakistan? or Afghanistan, Tajikistan, East Iran?

Hi Imadaddin,

I am a Pashtun, so Afghanistan is basically it (although my family originates from the Pakistani side of the Durand line, but since Pashtuns are a single ethnic group, that isn't necessarily relevant. I have seen the results for two Afghan Pashtun friends, and one of them has results virtually identical to my own). My top population is North Caucasian (Daghestanis, Abkhazians, and other unspecified Caucasian populations), and my second closest population is West Indian (Gujarati). I guess if one averaged these two populations, but with a distinct bias towards the North Caucasian, my location on the map would probably be in Eastern-Central Iran. In fact, the population whose components are most similar to my own happens to be the Iranian reference population (I think, although I might have to take another look at the reference populations). But, I think the population closest to me in terms of West vs East Eurasian are the Pamiri Tajik. They are 88% West Eurasian, I'm 82% West Eurasian. Although, you are actually closer in this respect, since you're 87% West Eurasian. Nevertheless, both populations are not really good matches, since I have more Northern European than the Iranian reference population, more Mediterranean than the Pamiri Tajik reference population, and more Southwest Asian than both.

I think these results make sense. Predominately West Eurasian, with minor East Eurasian admixture. Roughly intermediate between populations from the Northern Caucasus, and people from Northern-Western India, but with a bias towards the former. I think these results are perfectly reasonable, for someone whose origin lies in an area that ties together South, Central, and West Asia. I'd say Pashtuns belong to all three regions, and my results reflect that.

Hello Sein

Your Geno 2.0 Results are very similar to my own.

[Sein]

Hello rockman,

That is very interesting, our results are rather similar! If you don't mind me asking, what's your ethnic background?

[rockman]

Sein, I am of mixed Indian and West/Central Asian background over the centuries. On different tests (Gedmatch) I showed a lot of affinity to Turkmens and for much of our history over the past 100 years we were situated in Bengal, India.

All in all I think we might be mixed Turkmen/Iranian/Bengali lol.

My two populations on Geno 2.0 were Northern Caucasian and South Indian. What about you?

[Sein]

You have a very interesting and cosmopolitan background, rockman! Are you by any chance HRP0304? I'm HRP0282. I knew something complex was happening with your results, because the spreadsheet lists you as UP+Bengal, and your results don't really suggest that. Here is what I wrote at HAP, the first time I saw your results:
"HRP0304 has very interesting results. I mean, compare them to the half Punjabi, half UP participant. Not what I would have expected. Does not seem half Bengali and half UP. More like half Bengali, half West Asian." Also, we share the same maternal haplogroup.
My two closest populations for Geno 2.0 are Northern Caucasians and West Indians.

[rockman]

Yes I am HRP0304

Interestingly my single population groups would put me with Bene Menashe Jews, Sindhis, Burusho's and Pathans according to Dodecad.

I'm assuming your mtDNA m4'67 originates from Central India? I used to think my mtDNA came from Iran but it seems to be found mostly among people from Central India.
