YFull

The same branch on YFull #

YFull builds its tree from the same SNPs; the node is matched by name or by a shared SNP. TMRCA is when the common ancestor of all samples lived, formed is when the branch split from its parent. Intervals are 95%.

E-L485: 642 samples. The common ancestor lived 8,700 years ago (7,900–9,500); the branch split off 8,700 years ago (7,900–9,500).
