Haplogroup O is one of the more diverse Y-DNA haplogroups and consists of 32 unique lineages, or subclades. These subclades can be grouped into one of the three major subclades within Haplogroup O (aside from the paragroup O*): Subclade O1, Subclade O2 and Subclade O3. Subclade O1 consists of five deeper subclades whereas Subclade O2 has seven; Subclade O3 is by far the more complex with a total of 19 identified subclades. Refer to the Phylogenetic Trees below (Figure 1a and 1b) for a representation of the phylogenetic tree of Haplogroup O, indicating the relationship among the numerous subclades. Since this haplogroup consists of a large number of subclades, the tree has been divided into Subclades O1 and O2 (and the deeper clades within these subclades; Figure 1a) and Subclade O3 (Figure 1b).
Figure 1a. Phylogenetic tree showing all subclades derived from Subclade O1 and Subclade O2 in Haplogroup O. The SNP mutations in red are those used in the Y-DNA Haplogroup O Subclade Test to determine your subclade, whereas the SNPs in black text indicate other mutations that are associated with the subclades. Figure 1b shows the phylogenetic tree for subclades associated with Subclade O3.
Figure 1b. Phylogenetic tree indicating all subclades associated with Subclade O3 in Haplogroup O. The SNP mutations in red are those used in the Y-DNA Haplogroup O Subclade Test to determine your subclade, whereas the SNPs in black text indicate other mutations that are associated with the subclades. Figure 1a shows the phylogenetic tree for subclades associated with Subclades O1 and O2.
If you are a confirmed member of Y-DNA Haplogroup O, dig further using the Y-DNA O Subclade SNP Test and find out which Subclade of O you descended from.
