SNP Tracker

SNP Tracker by Rob Spencer. Use the (/) toggle button to choose Y DNA () or mitochondrial (mt) DNA (). Simply type your haplogroup (ideally your terminal SNP) into the input box and click “Go” or hit return. If this SNP is known to the FTDNA Y or mt Tree, the map will show the path from “Y Adam” or “Mitochondrial Eve” to the SNP. You need type only the lower-level code, for example “M222” instead of the full “R-M222”. Y SNP names are as in FTDNA, not the older nomenclature, thus “I-L160” and not “I2a1a1” (although many short ‘classic’ labels will work, like R1a or G2). If what shows at the top-left of the map is different from what you typed, that’s because the tool automatically searches all SNP synonyms and displays the current FTDNA nomenclature. If your haplogroup is missing, then it’s not in the FTDNA Y or mt Tree.
