Improved resolution haplogroup G phylogeny in the Y chromosome, revealed by a set of newly characterized SNPs.

<h4>Background</h4>Y-SNP haplogroup G (hgG), defined by Y-SNP marker M201, is relatively uncommon in the United States general population, with only 8 additional sub-markers characterized. Many of the previously described eight sub-markers are either very rare (2-4%) or do not distinguis...

Many of the previously described eight sub-markers are either very rare (2-4%) or do not distinguish between major populations within this hg.

Using a combination of DNA sequence and genetic genealogy databases, we have uncovered a total of 15 new hgG SNPs that had been previously reported but not phylogenetically characterized.
