Sub-branches #
Sub-branches that have their own page (50 kits or more). The bar is the kits in the sub-branch with its own sub-branches; the age is when its common foremother lived.
On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 66 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%.
U5b2b: 352 samples. The common foremother lived 7,100 years ago (4,900–9,900); the branch split off 12k years ago (8,800–15k).
