The is now a project for marker L1335 (also known as S530) a branch of haplogroup R1b at Family Tree DNA administered by Robert Hughes http://www.familytreedna.com/public/R1b-L1335/
This SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is a marker which notates the group commonly known as STR47-Scots or the 'Scots Cluster'. The marker is found particularly in western Scotland, but also as far north as the Orkney Islands and Sutherland. There is also a cluster emerging in Wales. The results page can be found here http://www.familytreedna.com/public/R1b-L1335/default.aspx?section=yresults
You can see where L1335 fits in the bigger picture of Haplogroup R1b via this diagram produced by the chaps in the R1b-P312 Haplogroup and Subclades Y DNA group at Yahoo.

I am excited about Scots Modal L1335 snp. After testing positive for DF13, son of R-L21, predictions indicate my off-modal may by L1335 and possibly L1065.
ReplyDeleteOther than just assuming I am a Scot by surname "Luckey" glad to use the genetic genealogy Y-DNA. However will have to wait for FTDNA snp test.
