MONK Y-Chromosome DNA Surname Project
- Y-DNA Classic Chart
For genealogy within the most recent fifteen generations, STR markers help define
paternal lineages. Y-DNA STR markers change (mutate) often enough that most men
who share the same STR results also share a recent paternal lineage. This
page displays Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) STR results for the project. It uses the
classic format. The columns display each project member's kit number, paternal ancestry
information according to project settings, the paternal tree branch (haplogroup),
and actual STR marker results. The color coding of STR marker names is explained
here. In the haplogroups column, haplogroups in green are
confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red are predicted. You may learn more about
Y-DNA STRs on the Understanding Y-DNA STRs learning page.
