On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 8 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%.
U5b2a: 516 samples. The common foremother lived 7,000 years ago (6,600–7,500); the branch split off 12k years ago (8,800–15k).
