My DNA Results (Reer Waqooyi)

[Thanatophiliac]

Because I was extremely destitute and a recently qualified recipient of Zakat by the National Zakat Foundation due to morbid poverty, I couldn't afford to purchase a kit from 23andme. But I managed to smuggle what would amount to a local autosomal DNA test with specific markers which would be sent to a lab (for free) to determine my Y-DNA. This was last month. They informed me that they will send me a complete report soon.

This is what they showed me so far:

Africa total: 65%
Africa/Southeastern Bantu: 45%
Trace Regions: 5%
Africa North: 15%
Pacific Islander: 1%
Middle East: 34%




They will send me a full report of my Y-DNA, but so far they screened this and sent it to me:



Haplogroup T1 i.e T-M184.

Family background: Gadabursi Makahil (Dir). My father is from Borama.

Some info about Haplogroup T from Family Tree DNA:

"Haplogroup T (known as Haplogroup K2 until May 2008) is defined by SNP M184 and is found at low frequencies in the Middle East, Europe and North Africa. Most lines in T belong to subgroup T1a defined by SNP M70 which until March 2011 was considered equivalent to M184.
T1a in turn splits into T1a1 (T-L162), T1a2 (T-L131) and T1a3 (T-L1255).
T1a1 clusters along an east-west axis from Iran to Spain. T1a2 is found both in northern Europe and southern Africa but is rarer in the eastern and western edges of T's distribution zone. To date, T1a3 has only been found in Kuwait.

Recent developments including the Geno 2.0 chip have identified the following major subgroups of T1a:

T-L208 (T1a1a* on the current ISOGG tree http://www.isogg.org/tree/ISOGG_HapgrpT.html)
T-Z709 (T1a1a1*)
T-P77 (T1a1a1a)
T-P322 (T1a2a)
T-L446 (T1a2b)
Most lineages in T will belong to one of these 5 branches. The first two are strictly speaking paragroups and may split into several branches when more data is available.

Thomas Jefferson is believed to have belonged to haplogroup T, based on tests carried out on individuals sharing his paternal line.

Your use of the phrase reer waqooyi blew up your cover. No Isaaq calls himself reer waqooyi as a tribal term , only walaweyn use that regional term as code for isaaq.

Im not Isaaq. Never claimed to be.

Your paranoid. Take a rest.

As I mentioned in my first post at the bottom. I am Gadabursi.

You are liar no gedabursi either call himself reer waqooyi .

Please leave. I have no khat. I have nothing you need.

Stop trolling go help mom with the dishes and do your homework.

Well, I'm quite pleased with my results. Despite lacking decisive material to decipher the markers more correctly to provide a more in depth analysis. I suppose that's the curse of a financial breakdown.
But then what I have really achieved? I suppose there is some level of fulfillment to know I cluster with most of my people. That would make it worth every penny.

Did you send in your sisters DNA? T1a1 is not y dna.

You know 23andme is free for Africans now from the USA, just make sure inaad Dhahdo 2 Ayeeyo Iyo 2 awoowe. Abaaha Iyo hooyada Haal Wadani beey ku Dhasheen.

Y-DNA can only be extracted from a male specimen. And yes there certainly is T1A1A and it's subclades vary. The L-208 is a T1A1 subclade so is the L162 and quite a few others.

Refer back to to Family Tree DNA and this is a good read:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogr ... 28xL208.29

Well, the guy on Family Tree DNA told me from my results I am certainly a T1a without any shadow of a doubt, that was in the preliminary. Since they copy your markers into a database. But as for the sub sub clade. I'll just have to wait for the full data report.

Well I can't say I'm surprised, every single male relative of mine from my subclan took the test (over 5) and they all have the same T haplogroup.

Interesting. I am from the UK. My test was free too, allbeit, not from 23andme. It designated ethnic minorities specifically.

Because I was extremely destitute and a recently qualified recipient of Zakat by the National Zakat Foundation due to morbid poverty, I couldn't afford to purchase a kit from 23andme.

[Ben Dover]

Perhaps share this free DNA service so other Somalis in the UK could make use of the test?
