1 small sub-branch more without a page: 724 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 2 kits.
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%.
U3: 879 samples. The common foremother lived 20k years ago (20k–20k); the branch split off 20k years ago (20k–20k).
