They aren't words. In human genetics, a Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup is a haplogroup defined by differences in the non-recombining portions of DNA from the Y chromosome (called Y-DNA).
The Y Chromosome Consortium has established a system of defining Y-DNA haplogroups by letters A through to T, with further subdivisions using numbers and lower case letters.
The Y Chromosome Consortium (YCC) is a collection of scientists who work toward the understanding of human Y chromosomal phylogenetics and evolution. The consortium has the following objectives: web resources that communicate information relating to the non-recombinant region of the Y-chromosome including new variants and changes in the nomenclature. The consortium sponsors literature regarding updates in the phylogenetics and nomenclature.
They are most likely the abbreviations of words:
T: Thymine
I: Isosine
M: aMino
B: Not A
H: NotG
E: (not found)
The symbols for bases.
The real question is: following the captions (below these symbols), which are the said genes A,B,C in human chromosome and their counterparts in mouse chromosome?
If we have been sure the places of the genes, we can recognise ARE in the same place both in human chromosome and mouse chromosome, thus the evidence of evolution comes to light before our very eyes.
