Pretty sure if i would do a WTY a ton of new snps would be decovered. I still wonder why they've taken a ton of sardinian M26 samples and none continental/northern M26 samples for Geno 2.0) . No wonder all the very distantly related german/english/scottish/walisian/swiss lines are presented as one subclade ... ridiculous.
Still a very rare subclade and nearly unique str-cluster, what makes it interesting, but sometimes i envy my R1b-U106>L48 cousins for there very detailed knowledge about their line and what people carried it.
