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-L1229: 156 samples. The common ancestor lived 5,100 years ago (4,500–5,800); the branch split off 8,800 years ago (7,800–9,800).
