Release 30 is online!

August 21, 2009: We have updated the database and added 30 new or updated population samples with 4,405 haplotypes. Most of these new haplotypes have been typed in the 17 locus (YFiler) format. The YHRD has now 79,147 haplotypes, 21,800 of these with the maximal extension. The new population sets stem from 11 countries (Brazil, China, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Japan, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan and Ukraine). Y chromosomes from 96 countries are now represented in the YHRD. We thank all colleagues for their contributions: Luisa Diaz from Bogota, Colombia, Sharan Fung from Guangzhou, P.R.China, Ana Fernandez Santander from Madrid, Spain, Fang-Chin Wu from Taipeh, Taiwan, Teresina Palha and Sidney Santos from Belem, Brazil, Claudia Jannet Martin La Rotta from Bogota, Colombia, Natsuko Mizuno from Chiba, Japan, Nam Soo Cho from Daejeon, South Korea, Sergey Kravchenko from Kiev, Ukraine, Eva Petrejcikova and colleagues from Presov, Slovakia, Bhuvnesh Yadav from New Delhi, India and Maria Geppert from our group in Berlin, Germany. All contributors have passed QC and received YHRD accession numbers for each contributed population sample (YA003524-YA003553).
