Haplogroup U5 is found throughout Europe with an average frequency ranging from 5% to 12% in most regions. U5a is most common in north-east Europe and U5b in northern Spain. Nearly half of all Sami and one fifth of Finnish maternal lineages belong to U5.

U5 was the main haplogroup of mesolithic European hunter gatherers. U haplogroups were present at 83% in European hunter gatherers before influx of Middle Eastern farmer and steppe Indo-European ancestry decreased its frequency to less than 21%.

2014年11月1日 · Haplogroup U5 is estimated to be about 30,000 years old, and it is primarily found today in people with European ancestry. Both the current geographic distribution of U5 and testing of ancient human remains indicate that the ancestor of U5 expanded into Europe before 31,000 years ago.

The main U5 project is meant to be the home of all who have tested as mtDNA haplogroup U5, or any of its subclades. There are also special sub-projects for those who have taken the mitochondrial DNA full genomic sequence (FGS, also known as FMS) test.

We combined an unsupervised learning methodology for analyzing mitogenome sequences with maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetics to make detailed inferences about the evolution and diversification of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup U5, which appears at high frequencies in northern Europe.

The sequencing of entire human mitochondrial DNAs belonging to haplogroup U reveals that this clade arose shortly after the “out of Africa” exit and rapidly radiated into numerous regionally distinct subclades.

2010年4月21日 · It is generally accepted that the most ancient European mitochondrial haplogroup, U5, has evolved essentially in Europe. To resolve the phylogeny of this haplogroup, we completely sequenced 113 mitochondrial genomes (79 U5a and 34 U5b) of central and eastern Europeans (Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Russians and Belorussians), and reconstructed a ...

Haplogroup U5 is a significant maternal lineage associated with Paleolithic and Mesolithic European populations. The origins of U5 are estimated to be between 35,000 and 50,000 years ago, demonstrating its prevalence among early European hunter-gatherers.

Here we show, through phylogeographic analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation performed at the highest level of molecular resolution (52 entire mitochondrial genomes), that the most likely homeland for U5b3—a haplogroup present at a very low frequency across Europe—was the Italian Peninsula.

With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup U5a1a1d1 was born between the years 1575 and 1070 BCE. The most likely estimate is 1318 BCE, ... Your detailed haplogroup path is: U>U5>U5a'b>U5a>U5a1>U5a1a'g'q'r>U5a1a>U5a1a1>U5a1a1d1 Copied path to clipboard. …
