Citizen science

ISOGG members such(a) as Leo Little, Roberta Estes, Rebekah Canada and Bonnie Schrack shit been involved in important citizen science discoveries regarding human phylogeny and ethnic origins. The broader ISOGG membership participated in the Genographic Project, a genetic anthropology discussing that used crowdsourcing to facilitate new discoveries about human genetic history, and other genetic databases where broader and larger databases aid the identification of participants' ancestral origins.

Since 2006 ISOGG has hosted the regularly updated online ISOGG Y-chromosome phylogenetic tree. ISOGG aims to keep the tree as up-to-date as possible, incorporating new SNPs which are being discovered frequently. The ISOGG tree has been intended by academics as using the accepted nomenclature for human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups and subclades in that it follows the Y Chromosome Consortium nomenclature as planned in Karafet et al. 2008, The ISOGG tree is widely cited in peer reviewed academic literature.
