This is an open source project. That means all pertinent files are (or
will be) available. The Open Y files can be used for independent analysis.
Results can be published and a non-commercial interface developed as long as
the source data and our website are appropriately cited — and that I'm
informed. (After all, the project as a whole can benefit from the input.)
Note, however, that FTDNA, YFull, TheYTree, and YBrowse retain full rights to
their data. Updates and development notes about the project can be found at
the facebook group, Open
Y-Tree.
- The Open Y haplogroup child/parent
database
From this, paths and whole trees can be constructed. But it's the
haplogroup structure only. Full haplogroups, with its SNP members, is
presently available only at https://ysnp.info/subclades.html. Once the work
on that is done, that database will appear here.
- SNP information extracted from
YBrowse.org
Zipped file. Includes the SNP positions on the Y chromosome, ancestral and
derived SNP values, and their names, including all alternate names.
- All multiple SNP names found in Open Y's
database
Labs and other entities register new SNP names at YBrowse.org. Although the
problem now appears to be under control, there are thousands of SNPs having
multiple names. (This list also includes the SNP data from TheYTree.) The
Open Y project generally uses the names having the lowest order numeric
portion of the name.
- FTDNA recurrent SNPs
The data is space delimited. The first field is the SNP name followed by the
haplogroups for which it's a member.
- YFull recurrent SNPs
As above but for YFull.
- Longhand to shorthand haplogroup
names
This isn't a comprehenisve list. Included are only the longhand haplogroup
names (i.e. A1b1) used by YFull. The second field is the preferred
shorthand (SNP-based) names (i.e. A-PF1260). The conversion is essential
to the Open Y project as its critical for preparing multiple databases for
merging.
- Simple script to parse a child/parent
database.
Explanation is included in the file.
- Open Y haplogroups with member SNPs
This zipped file is a space-delimited file, the first field beiing the SNP
name followed by comma delimited haplogroups.
- Vertical haplogroup tree
A zipped text-based vertical haplogroup (only) tree. Each line leads with
tabs, one for each downstream generation. I've written a tool that creates
an HTML horizontal tree from this format but the result is far too big for a
browser. I'll see what I can do.
