R-DF13, which is also known as R-S521, R-Z2542 and R-CTS8221, as well as the phylogenetic name R1b1a1b1a1a2c1a, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, which is characteristic of a majority of the living male inhabitants of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany.[2]
Origin
R-DF13, which originated approximately 4,200 years ago, is a primary subclade of R-L21. It is likely associated with the Bell Beaker culture and, possibly, the Celts.
This haplogroup is found among an absolute majority of the male inhabitants of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany; is also found at significant levels in England , northern France , and north-west Iberia (Northern Portugal, Galicia and Asturias).[citation needed] It is found at lower levels in Belgium[citation needed] and the Netherlands.[3]
DF13 is ancestral to many subclades commonly found in the above areas, including: R-L513/S215/DF1, R-L1335, R-Z253, R-ZZ10, R-Z251, R-Z255/S219, R-FGC33712, R-FGC59881 and R-FGC33755.
