Distribution of Hg R1a1-M17/M198
among Ashkenazi Levites
6
Origin of Ashkenazi Levites
 A strong founding
event within the last
2,000 years
 >50% of contemporary
Ashkenazi Levite
 Close relatedness to
non-Jewish groups
 Unresolved origin
7
Global distribution of Hg R1a1
 > 2,000 R1a1
samples
 No good internal
structure
 STR haplotypes are
not informative
 Marker M458
reaches frequencies
of 30-70% in East
Europe
8
NGS and its claims
 April 2009, Complete Genomics: “plan to be able to sequence one million
full genomes per year by 2013”
 June 2009, Illumina: “during the next five years, perhaps markedly
sooner, the price point for full genome sequencing will fall from $48,000
to under $1,000”.
 August 2009, Pacific Biosciences: “will sequence 10,000 full genomes by
the end of 2010”.
 August 2009, GE Global Research: “is also now in the race to
commercialize full genome sequencing as they are currently working on
creating a service that will deliver a full genome for $1,000 or less”.
 September 2009, Halcyon Molecular: “will be able to provide full genome
sequencing in under 10 minutes for less than $100 per genome”.
 October 2009, IBM: “they were also in the heated race to provide full
genome sequencing for under $1,000, with their ultimate goal being able
to provide their service for $100 per genome”.
Even more claims…
 March 2010, Pacific Biosciences said: “their second-generation machine,
which is scheduled for release in 2015, will be capable of providing a full
genome sequence for a person in just 15 minutes for less than $100.”
 June 2010, Illumina: lowered the cost of its individual sequencing
service to $19,500 from $48,000.
 January 2012, Life Technologies: introduced a sequencer to decode a
human genome in one day for $1,000.
 January 2012, Oxford Nanopore : come up with a DNA sequencing
machine (the MinION) the size of a USB memory stick which costs
$900 and can sequence simple genomes (but not full human genomes).
Sequencing
Conventional Next generation
 Sanger based technology
 A 30 years old monopoly
 600-1000 bp per read
 Reaction time - few hours
 10,000,000 reactions to
sequence the genome
 Developed in 2005 by 454
Life Sciences
 A throughput equivalent to
50 Applied Biosystem's
3730XL capillary
sequencers at about one-
sixth of the cost
Data analysis: The NGS bottleneck
 The flood of information:
 Data

 Changes in data type
 Accuracy
 The reference data

The Origin of Ashkenazi Levites

  • 1. Doron M Behar, MD, PhD Family Tree DNA, Houston, Texas Estonian Biocentre and Department of Evolutionary Biology University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia The 11th Genetic Genealogy Conference for Family Tree DNA Group Administrators November 14-15, 2015

  • 5. NRY Phylogeny 1997 NRY Phylogeny 2011 5
  • 6. Distribution of Hg R1a1-M17/M198 among Ashkenazi Levites 6
  • 7. Origin of Ashkenazi Levites  A strong founding event within the last 2,000 years  >50% of contemporary Ashkenazi Levite  Close relatedness to non-Jewish groups  Unresolved origin 7
  • 8. Global distribution of Hg R1a1  > 2,000 R1a1 samples  No good internal structure  STR haplotypes are not informative  Marker M458 reaches frequencies of 30-70% in East Europe 8
  • 9. NGS and its claims  April 2009, Complete Genomics: “plan to be able to sequence one million full genomes per year by 2013”  June 2009, Illumina: “during the next five years, perhaps markedly sooner, the price point for full genome sequencing will fall from $48,000 to under $1,000”.  August 2009, Pacific Biosciences: “will sequence 10,000 full genomes by the end of 2010”.  August 2009, GE Global Research: “is also now in the race to commercialize full genome sequencing as they are currently working on creating a service that will deliver a full genome for $1,000 or less”.  September 2009, Halcyon Molecular: “will be able to provide full genome sequencing in under 10 minutes for less than $100 per genome”.  October 2009, IBM: “they were also in the heated race to provide full genome sequencing for under $1,000, with their ultimate goal being able to provide their service for $100 per genome”.
  • 10. Even more claims…  March 2010, Pacific Biosciences said: “their second-generation machine, which is scheduled for release in 2015, will be capable of providing a full genome sequence for a person in just 15 minutes for less than $100.”  June 2010, Illumina: lowered the cost of its individual sequencing service to $19,500 from $48,000.  January 2012, Life Technologies: introduced a sequencer to decode a human genome in one day for $1,000.  January 2012, Oxford Nanopore : come up with a DNA sequencing machine (the MinION) the size of a USB memory stick which costs $900 and can sequence simple genomes (but not full human genomes).
  • 11. Sequencing Conventional Next generation  Sanger based technology  A 30 years old monopoly  600-1000 bp per read  Reaction time - few hours  10,000,000 reactions to sequence the genome  Developed in 2005 by 454 Life Sciences  A throughput equivalent to 50 Applied Biosystem's 3730XL capillary sequencers at about one- sixth of the cost
  • 12. Data analysis: The NGS bottleneck  The flood of information:  Data  Data  Data  Changes in data type  Accuracy  The reference data  Not all is in the code
