Using the Admin - mtDNA Results Classic Report

The mtDNA Results Classic report displays group members' mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test results and maternal ancestry. 

Accessing the mtDNA Results Classic Report

To access this report:

  1. Sign in to your GAP account by entering your Project Administrator username and password.
  2. On the navigation bar, hover your cursor over Reports > Genetic Reports, and click mtDNA Results Classic on the drop-down menu.

    OR

    In the lower section of your GAP dashboard, in the Genetic Reports section, click mtDNA Results Classic.
    You are directed to the mtDNA Results Classic page.

Controls and Columns

The mtDNA Results Classic report contains the following controls:

  • RSRS Results – This is the default. It displays members’ results as differences from the RSRS standard. 
  • Detailed RSRS Results – This changes the display to show only those people with mtDNA full sequence results. Rather than their differences to the RSRS standard, this version of the report shows their differences from the modal values of their assigned haplogroup. Additional mutations are shown without parentheses. Expected mutations that are missing are shown with parentheses.

    Note – This only displays those project members who have mtDNA full sequence results and have their display turned on for your project.
  • CRS Results – This allows you to view results using the old rCRS comparison.

    Note: This is a legacy view. Therefore, customer service will not be able to answer questions about it.
  • Printer Friendly – This adjusts the formatting to improve printing results.
  • Export Spreadsheet – Click to export the mtDNA Results Classic table to a spreadsheet.
  • Show Advanced Filter – Click to display the following fields:
    • Kit – Allows you to filter/search the table by member kit number.
    • Name – Allows you to filter/search the table by name of the project member provided on the project member’s FamilyTreeDNA account Contact Information tab.
    • Haplogroup – Allows you to filter/search the table by the project member’s mtDNA haplogroup as determined by either the backbone test included in HVR1 and HVR1&2 tests or the results from their mtDNA full genomic sequence test.
    • HVR1 – Allows you to filter/search the table by mutations found in the Hyper Variable Region 1 (HVR1) that differ from either the RSRS or rCRS standard.
    • HVR2 – Allows you to filter/search the table by mutations found in the Hyper Variable Region 2 (HVR2) that differ from either the RSRS or rCRS standard.
    • Coding Region Mutations – Allows you to filter/search the table by mutations found in the Coding Region that differ from either the RSRS or rCRS standard.

The mtDNA Results Classic page contains the following columns:

  • Row Number – This will list each row in ascending numerical order. This column can be toggled on or off in the Public Website tool.
  • Kit Number – Project member’s kit number that was assigned with their first order. You may click on the kit number to view their results if they have set their Account Settings Project Preferences Group Administrator Access level to either Limited or Advanced.
  • Name – The name of the project member provided on the project member’s Contact Information tab.
  • Email – Primary email address provided on the project member’s Contact Information page.
  • Maternal Ancestor Name: Known name of the earliest known direct maternal ancestor as provided on the member’s Earliest Known Ancestors tab. If the project member has not entered this information, No Location Saved is displayed in this column.
  • Country – Maternal country of origin associated with the project member as provided on the member’s Earliest Known Ancestors tab. If the project member has not entered this information, Unknown Origin is displayed in this column.
  • Haplogroup – This is the project member’s mtDNA haplogroup as determined by either the backbone test included in mtDNA Plus tests or the results from their mtFull test.
  • HVR1 Mutations – These are the mutations from the first hypervariable region found in the Hyper Variable Region 1 (HVR1) that differ from either the RSRS or rCRS standard.
  • HVR2 Mutations – These are the mutations found in the Hyper Variable Region 2 (HVR2) that differ from either the RSRS or rCRS standard.
  • Coding Region Mutations – These are the mutations found in the Coding Region that differ from either the RSRS or rCRS standard.

Each column may be sorted in ascending or descending order. To sort in ascending order (A->Z or 1->10), click on the column name once. To sort in descending order (Z->A or 10->1), click on the column name twice.
