However I see that the selected marker for haplogroup S is a substitution at location 14465, and I cannot find this marker at the reference mtDNA tree at PhyloTree, which only mentions Hudjasov 2007 in relation with haplogroup S. <br /><br />So maybe it's a case of misidentification? It has happened before. <br /><br />The other markers mentioned are:<br /><br />14470 (in brackets for some reason), which I have spotted as marker for haplogroup X instead. It is possible that this old paper misidentified by S what is in fact X, which should be interesting too because no X has been spotted between Altai and North America, AFAIK.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975592580835888650.post-39213859905975089522010-09-26T23:34:25.198-07:002010-09-26T23:34:25.198-07:00Whoa, that's a little bomb!
