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%.

W3: 354 samples. The common foremother lived 5,800 years ago (5,300–6,300); the branch split off 8,200 years ago (7,900–8,600).
