DNA Results R1b-FT78842

Previous Y-DNA testing

Previous Y-DNA testing through the Mayflower Society DNA Project and the Doty/Doughty surname DNA project has documented where the Mayflower Doty lineage belongs to the R1b-L21 Y-DNA haplogroup, which is quite common in Northwestern Europe, particularly the British Isles.

NGS/WGS testing

NGS testing has been able to refine the haplogroup to: R-L21>DF13>ZZ10_1>Z16423>Z255>L159.2>Z16429>Z16433>A1248>A1245>A1254>FT78842[1][2].

  2. ↑ Two of the three Big Y-700 tested individuals in the MayflowerDNA Project have been found to fall under a subclade of FT78842>FT79154.
