[QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Andromeda2025: [qb]So, Blond/Red/Hair Blue Eyed Ancient Egyptians? I am not an expert in DNA/Alleles and hereditary so maybe someone can explain.[/qb][/QUOTE]The first number (D) is the number of reads that show the derived allele, the second number (T) is the total number of reads. The derived allele is the one that is associated with the trait in question (lighter skin, blue eyes, red hair, etc in this case). As you can see in most cases there are few reads (the genomes have poor coverage) and zero of the derived allele, so NOT blue-eyed or blond- or red-haired. JK2911 has 1/4 for a variant associated with red hair. It could be that he was heterozygous for this (1 copy derived and 1 ancestral), but it could be a false positive caused by DNA damage or sequencing error, which is not unusual. Likewise JK2888 has another light skin variant but with only 1 read, so we can't tell how common it was or whether it is also a false positive. We can see 2/2 and 1/1 for derived SLC24A5, an important light skin variant, which is common today even in some quite dark-skinned populations like Ethiopians and Indians, so likely they had this one. On the other hand JK2911 has 0/7 derived SLC45A2, another light skin variant which is ubiquitous in modern Europeans and common in the Middle East and North Africa but rare or absent in dark-skinned people. Modern Delta Egyptians have something like 60% of the light skin allele of SLC45A2 while Southern Egyptians have a much lower frequency. [/QB][/QUOTE]
