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-L389: 11,177 samples. The common ancestor lived 16k years ago (14k–18k); the branch split off 16k years ago (14k–18k).
