y060

Y060 is a variant of the Y chromosome, specifically a haplogroup that is part of the larger Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup Y. It is a subclade of haplogroup Y, which is the most common haplogroup in the world, with the exception of East Asia. Y060 is believed to have originated in the Near East, around 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. It is characterized by the presence of the Y-SNP (Y-chromosome Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) marker Y60. This haplogroup is found in various populations around the world, including Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Y060 is further subdivided into several subclades, such as Y060a, Y060b, and Y060c, each with its own unique genetic markers. The distribution and frequency of Y060 vary among different populations, reflecting historical migration patterns and genetic drift. Y060 is an important tool in genetic genealogy and population genetics, providing insights into human migration and genetic diversity.
