Haplogroup R1b - Clade: Northwest Irish

 dna
formerly R1b1c7 now R1b1b2e defined by SNP M222+

The modal haplotype is from the R1b1b2e Haplogroup Project. It has been extended by the addition of 8 SMGF markers using modal values determined by Nordvedt. This a clade of R1b that can be specfically SNP tested.

A study by Moore et al at Trinity College in Dublin concludes that a subset of this group "shows a significant association with surnames purported to have descended from the most important and enduring dynasty of early medieval Ireland, the Uí Néill." Persons in this subset are said to have the O'Neil Modal Haplotype and it is often confused with the parent set the Northwest Irish. A discussion of the difference has been presented by John Lochlan.

In a recent paper by Campbell the haplogroup is refered to as OGAP8 (Oxford Genetic Atlas Project - Type 8). His analysis identifies a strong migration of OGAP8 from Ulster to the Argyll area which Campbell identifies as that of the Dal Riada.
