Background

Haplogroup A7 is a branch on the maternal tree of human kind. The woman who started this branch lived at some point between recent generations and 15,700 years ago (Behar et al., 2012b).

Information on this lineage comes from two published studies (Bilal et al., 2008 and Tanaka et al., 2004). Members of the line in both studies came from Japan.

Geno 2 data does not include a member of the line.

mtDNA Haplogroup A7 Data Sources

GenBank Samples

GenBank is a database of genetic sequence data. It is run by the United States National Institute of Health. It serves as the main repository for mtDNA full sequence profiles. Samples come both from published academic literature and donations from genetic genealogy community members. In addition to GenBank samples, listings below may include other samples published but not submitted to GenBank such as those from the HapMap project.

Note: GenBank results currently use Phylotree build 16. I am working on changing resuts over to build 17.

Hg ID	Publication	Missing Variants	Additional Variants
Hap5005502	Bilal et al., 2008	none	A7:309.1CC, 315.1C, 523-524d, 16182C, 16183C, 16193.1C
Hap5014630	Tanaka et al., 2004	none	A7:309.1CC, 315.1C, 523-524d, 16182C, 16183C

Geno 2.0 Data

Data from Geno 2.0 is derived from the The National Geographic Society’s Genographic Project — the DAR. The Hg ID is specific to this site and is used to protect the identities of those who take part in Genographic research. Birth Country, Mother's Birth Country, and Maternal Grandmother's Birth Country have been normalized from DAR database fields. The Maternal Origin is determined based on the three previous fields.

Note: Geno 2.0 results currently use Phylotree build 16. I am working on changing resuts over to build 17.
