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-L754: 11,345 samples. The common ancestor lived 18k years ago (16k–19k); the branch split off 21k years ago (18k–24k).
