1 Irish Genes and Ancestry Dr. Gianpiero Cavalleri Eneclann Summer Lunchtime Series 2012 Detailed genetic ancestry information through state of the art gene analysis
2 Overview.. Introduction to DNA, Y chromosome, mtdna How DNA has informed us about global population history Patterns of Y chromosome types we see in Ireland How genetics can inform on genealogy Sources for more information
3 3 billion letter archive written in ACGT Only small portion of our DNA (the genes) encodes instructions to build a human Changes (mutations) occur in our DNA with each generation These chages are inherited down through generations ~99.9% of our DNA is identical

5 Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) CGTACTATGACCCGAGCTAGCCCTA CGTACGATGACCCAAGCTAGCCCTA Pat Jack M269 M182 Microsatellite/short tandem repeat (STR) CCGTGCATGCATGCATGCATGCACC CCGTGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCACC Pat (5 copies) Jack (6 copies) DYS19 T at M269 + G at M copies at DYS19 = haplotype i.e. combination = haplotype
6 Groups and types found at different frequencies in different populations Isolation (i.e. within population marriage) and fact that some people have more (grand)children than others % Isolation! Distance between spouse birthplaces for all marriages ? distance (miles) Basis of all genetic history work
7 mtda mtdna tree Y chromosome tree
8 The evolution of modern humans.. Homo erectus Approx mya Radiated from Africa to Europe & Asia
9 Homo sapiens spread and diversified, moving out of Africa approx 100 kya Early migration towards South East Asia approx kya Later migration towards Eurasia kya As a consequence we expect to observe in non-africans, a subset of genetic variation present in modern African populations
10 ~150k years ago ~80k years ago R1b across Europe.. ~60k years ago ~40k years ago ~25k years ago LGM ~18k years ago
11 Data courtesy of JF Wilson
12 Discovered in November 2008 Subtype of R1b Found in 73% Irish, 50% Scots, 40% English Very rare in continent Proof of commonality among original inhabitants of the islands Probably palaeolithic origins (>10,000 years)
13 Ui Neill type.. Very common in Ireland, virtually absent elsewhere Origin around years ago Data courtesy of JF Wilson
14 Appears specific to Munster & associated with Eoghanacht surnames Data courtesy of JF Wilson
15 Found at high frequency around Holland,N. Germany, Denmark Probably arrived in Britain recently Iron age? Anglo- Saxon invasions? Data courtesy of JF Wilson
