R1b is a subclade within the "macro-haplogroup" K (M9), the most common group of human male lines outside of Africa. K is believed to have originated in Asia (as is the case with an even earlier ancestral haplogroup, F (F-M89).

These eligible subclades are all P312- U106- Z2103-. STR matches are also welcome. This project is consistent with the R1b Project System (tw). Please also join the R1b All Subclades Master Project and Gateway, particularly if you are unsure where you belong. *** Key Steps to Take and Project Operations are on the About/Background page.

The discovery of SNPs that mark subclades of R1b has led to a number of major subclade projects. Depending on SNP results, members of the R1b project will be joined to one of these major projects. Data is integrated across these projects for analysis and understanding of R1b.

(in Armenia, Dagestan, Georgia) belong to the ancient L23 subclade (with a common ancestor of around 6,000 ybp), and have a characteristic DYS393=12 allele, unlike DYS393=13 in most of European R1b1b2 haplotypes.

This project is the Master or Lead project for the R1b Project System. This the entry project or "Gateway" into the system. If you join we will automatically join you to the appropriate subclade of R1b project(s), but please stay in the R1b project for matching and research.

History and description of Haplogroup R1b (Y-chromosomal DNA) and its subclades. Haplogroup R1b is the dominant paternal lineage in Western Europe. It represents the Greco-Anatolian, Italic, Celtic and Germanic branches of the Indo-European speakers.

Mar 7, 2009 · According to Prof. Nordtvedt, the R1b-Ub (Ubiquitous) subclade is a small subclade with an unusual pedigree distribution. It is found at low frequencies in many places -- Iberia, the British Isles, Germany, Denmark and Sweden -- hence, the term ubiquitous.

Jul 22, 2022 · I have calculated the frequency of each of the main R1b clade in every region of France last year in order to update the R1b maps. I used Nevgen to determine the subclades of samples from FTDNA that were not confirmed by SNP testing.

The Armenians crossed all Anatolia until Lake Van and settled in the Armenian Highlands. Nowadays 30% of Armenian belong to haplogroup R1b, the vast majority to the L23 subclade. Most of the R1b found in Greece today is of the Balkanic Z2103 variety. There is also a minority of Proto-Celtic S116/P312 and of Italic/Alpine Celtic S28/U152.

Jul 18, 2013 · The oldest "European" subclade of R1b is L23, which has indeed been found in Albania (there is even a special Albanian cluster on the FTDNA project), but also in the rest of the Balkans, Greece, Anatolia and southern Italy.
