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%.

N-Z16981: 138 samples. The common ancestor lived 2,600 years ago (2,300–3,000); the branch split off 2,600 years ago (2,300–3,000).
