A new genomic study published in Science has overturned a long-held belief about when domestic cats arrived in Europe, finding that they were introduced not by Neolithic farmers thousands of years ago, but rather around 2,000 years ago — most likely from North Africa. Background and Previous...

A landmark new study published in Nature sheds unprecedented light on the people who lived along the old Roman frontier in southern Germany between 400 and 700 CE — and overturns some long-held assumptions about migration, marriage, and mortality in the post-Roman world. The Study at a Glance...

Hi all! Join r/MagyarDNS if you have Hungarian genes or just interested in Hungarian genetics.

the proportions of the models changed because the Anatolian source for used for Balkaners was changed from Turkey_Southeast_Byzantine.DG to Italy_Imperial_oEast.SG, representing the admixture profile of Roman era west Anatolians which migrated to the Balkans. It was mainly a mixture of...

Building a database, here is the current summary ('összesen' means 'sum'/'all'): ~10% seems to be steppe related (excluding Slavic, Germanic and E-V13 ones, which can also come from there tbh). ~8% is R-CTS1211 or its subclades. ~7% is I-L621 or its subclades. Close to 35% is unidentifiable...

A new paper about Iran/Persia. Nature: Ancient DNA indicates 3,000 years of genetic continuity in the Northern Iranian Plateau, from the Copper Age to the Sassanid Empire Abstract "In this study, we present new ancient DNA data from prehistoric and historic populations of the Iranian Plateau...

We know there are many R-Z2103 in Afanasievo, so could this branch be an Afanasievo branch? There are 7 samples from China and one sample from Bhutan (Tibetan), as well as a Tajik from Xinjiang, 3 Kazakhs from the Naimans of Kazakhstan, and 1 Uzbek individual. Could this hablogroup be one of the...

I have calculated the frequency of each of the main R1b clade in every region of France last year in order to update the R1b maps. I used Nevgen to determine the subclades of samples from FTDNA that were not confirmed by SNP testing. It seems that I forgot to post the table with the results, so...

So I tested my DNA with LivingDNA and got my results. Now I want to know what I can do with those results. I'm very interested in exploring my ancestry and history of my lineages. I will ask some questions and hopefully someone out there is able to answer them. Keep in mind that I am a complete...

After thinking about the genetic pre history of Europe, a question came to mind and I'm curious if anyone here knows. Is there any estimates on the population size of certain key periods in Europe's pre-history from archaeologists or geneticists. In particular I'm wondering how many farmers left...

Courtesy of Waldermar, Polish-Pomeranian member over at Anthrogenica. I found the similarity maps reminiscent of a Lazaridis paper. Also quite interesting, confirming some suspicions I have held. On whether all the samples are Slavic he replied: "In Radom, Grodowice and Detkovice, most...

Hi there, I succeeded in sequencing ancient autosomal DNA from a far relative, with a result of about 200'000 SNPs. But neither GEDMatch or other database accept this upload because they need almost 500k SNPs... Does someone know if there are worldwide databases to make random comparisons...

Here is the study. Nature Genetics: Identification of LZTFL1 as a candidate effector gene at a COVID-19 risk locus Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused millions of deaths worldwide. Genome-wide association studies...

The study on ancient Etruscan DNA by Posth et al. 2021 showed that three Etruscan individuals were genetically closer to modern Northwest Europeans. Intrigued I checked their percentage of similarities with modern European populations using Eurogenes K36 and the map tool made by Jerome Hamon...

I have checked Ragnar Lothbrok's genealogy to find if he had male line descendants to this day. It would not be surprising considering that he had eight sons and they became powerful rulers of their own. The main issue is that the genealogy is disputed. If enough Y-DNA lines survived, it would...

Basically title. Has anyone used any of these services. I mainly wanted to get back in a Ketogenic diet, however being vegetarian in my country, trying to accommodate both is going to be really challenging. So before I do anything that drastic, I wanted to use my Autosomal file for...
