There are two DNA testing companies founded over 5 years ago but that haven't made much noise in the pop gen community yet. Nevertheless they do look interesting.

The first one is tellmeGen, a...

It would be great to know Steven Spielberg's haplogroup. However I could not find any genealogical information about this Motya (Mordechai) Spilberg, b. abt. 1855. Jewish people tend to change...

It depends on the deep clade too.

I can read the Greek characters in your signature just fine.

I have split the Bell Beaker Central Europe into three: Poland, Czechia and Hungary.

I added Bronze Age Germany by combing samples from EBA Swabia, Unetice and Urnfield.

Third part: Western Europe.

Here is the second part: the Pontic-Caspian Steppe and Northwest Caucasus.

The work on the K12b admixture by historical culture gave me the idea to show the evolution of genetic admixtures over time by region. I have started with the Near East and East Mediterranean.

Really, more Scythians. They have now become the most studied Iron Age population! There were already some 40 samples (+ more Saka and Sarmatians) and now 111 more samples. On the other hand we have...

Here is the map of the Bronze Age period.

I have added:

- Narva culture (Neolithic Lithuania) : almost pure North European (78%) and Atlantic Med (21%). Closest to modern Latvians (12.6).

- Kangju (Iranian Sogdians) : no close modern...

Even more samples.

- Hallstatt Celts (2 samples from Czechia) : most similar to NW French/Brittany (7.7) then South England (7.8)

- Tian Shan Saka : no modern equivalent (closest are Central...

Lots of new samples:

- Epipaleolithic Magreb (Iberomaurusian) : 65.5% NW Africa, 19% East Africa and 5.5% SW Asia. Interestingly no Atlantic Med (unlike Mesolithic Europeans and Anatolians).

I thought that the Terramare culture was the first Indo-European advance into Italy? If that is the case, it doesn't show at all in these samples from Olmo di Nogara, who have 0% of Gedrosia and only...

I have just added the samples from Saag 2021, mostly from the Fatyanovo culture, but also a few Mesolithic Russians and one Corded Ware.

The Fatyanovo culture has no modern equivalent, but is...

I have just added:

- Middle Bronze Age North Italy (2 samples from Verona, Veneto) : very similar to modern Sardinians (distance 5.4), but no other modern population.

- Roman-age Britain (2...

I am trying to complete the data for the new Ancient Ethnicities Analyzer. I would need the genomes from the following studies. Does anybody know where I can download them in BAM, VCF, TXT or CSV...

The samples are listed here. From 800 to 200 BCE, which is the period of colonisation of Magna Graecia.

That's very probably a Gothic clade. It's found in Sweden (place of origin of the Goths), in Ukraine (where they stayed a few centuries), in Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece (where the Goths settled...

I have just added:

- Remedello culture (Chalcolithic North Italy) : no modern equivalent, but the closest are the Sardinians (distance 17.8)

- Afanasievo culture (Chalcolithic Altai) : no...

I have added:

Sintashta culture
Bronze Age Armenia

I separated the Corded Ware culture into East, West and North (Battle-Axe culture).

There are no close modern equivalent to the East and...
