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%.

R-BY250: 167 samples. The common ancestor lived 3,800 years ago (3,300–4,400); the branch split off 4,100 years ago (3,300–5,000).
