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%.

I-DF29: 4,104 samples. The common ancestor lived 4,600 years ago (4,200–5,100); the branch split off 4,600 years ago (4,200–5,100).
