and shows "mutation: 4G to 3G". What does this mean? It means that a string that used to have 4 Gs in a row got zapped in a mutation and became 3 Gs in a row. The particular G that got zapped is marked by that position number and is clearly marked on the image I have posted. You can see 4...

Since M17 is at position 21733168..21733168 how does 4Gs connect since the space seems to be only for 2 letters as in the above picture? Sorry. Cannot understand your question. Don't know what you mean by two and four. A single nucleotide change is one change. Not two or four. And the change can be...

What is meaning/significance of position? Where is the zero position situated at? Each human chromosome is two strings (one string from mother, and one string from father) attached to each other at the center. This central attachment point is called the centromere and chromosomes get their cross sh...

What is meaning/significance of position? Where is the zero position situated at? This supergiant molecule of DNA is like a long thread. Position is position on this thread. One end of the long strand of DNA is the zero position. Also what does count_derived and count_tested means? Same query of pr...

That makes sense! So when we say M420 or M17 or M... what does it mean? Also if you can throw some light on what differentiates M17 from Z93? 1. The human Y-chromosome is some 21,753,000 base pairs long. (PS: see *** below) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-nucleotide_polymorphism#Databases ) ...

Very interested. I had read your post. My specific query is how is the assumption of mutation rate fixed and what relationship does it have with evolution if any? I will stick to evolution because I am not arguing about the use of mutation rates - which is outside of my expertise and casual interes...

it is very clear that Steppe and India share R1a1a parental line and last shared ancestry was when M417 split in to z283 and Z93. Most indian Z93 also have Z94. Z94 was born around same time when it is found in Poltavka sample above. This is a strong indication that Z94 was born outside India somew...

.. Since the tree shows 417 is one node up from z282 and z93 one possibility is everyone who has z282 or z93 has m417 but not all m417 have z93 or z282? I think so, but now that you ask, I will work on understanding the actual algorithms and analysis that is done. Any light you can throw on your an...

Comment by one 'Arash' in Kalavai Venkat's AIT blog Arash Indian civilization is just an extension of Iranian civilization as proved by this Aryan invasion theory. Hinduism is just an extension of Zoroastrianism. India is just a geographical place where the martial Iranian tribes starting from the ...

There seems to be a pattern in all this. Every time a new field or new discovery is made, the assorted Indologists and linguists claim that as proof for AIT. By the time the rest of the folks catch up and point out the flaws, they move on to a more recent discovery and say why this is correct and s...

It does. But still not clear and the fault is mine. Say Z93. Two individuals A and B: AB 00 (none have it) 01 (B has it) 10 (A has it) 11 (both have it) How does this determine who is older? Can you give an example with another gene and Z93 to help clarify the example. In other words if we use two ...

Is it possible for you to explain in a bit non techy language why the conclusions of two underhill papers are different? I'll try. I am writing this from memory so pardon me for any errors. First thing to understand is nature of the research in population genetics. Genes by themselves are real thin...

These "Iranians" may have been part of early migrations that contributed to ANI because they went and mixed with ASI/Onge Andaman genes that are 24,000 years old in India (and 48,000 years old in Andamans) But if you take Underhill dates - one paper puts the earlier M17 as over 12,000 yea...

Memories are long. Tamil teacher back in school would always talk about the "Airavati river in Burma." Being curious, I went and looked it up, and that's when I realized that the "Irrawady" was actually the "Airavati." That was the first inkling I had, that the Indian ...

But Rajesh how do we reconcile 30 odd generations between ramayana and mahabharata as our scriptures suggest?

All children, disciples (especially if they did not stick to another lineage, as their name) and descendants of these are Vasisthas too.

Mahabharata war has some connection to data in Surya Siddhanta which states that the sun was 54 degrees away from the vernal equinox when Kali-yuga began on a new moon day. This corresponds to February 17/18, 3102 at Ujjain (75deg47minE 23deg 15 min N). I wonder if you know whether Nilesh has an ex...
