Hi everyone,
I'm a long-time lurker. I've always been fascinated with genetics, and have focused on haplogroups a bit more than autosomal DNA because I always thought the latter was kind of inaccessible to a layman (I'm an anthropologist, but not a geneticist). On this site I'm constantly seeing people posting comparisons of ancient populations' and specimens' autosomal DNA to one's own... Can anyone point me in the right direction for where I can learn to do this myself? Do I need a specific tool or software? Do I need a particular DNA test in order to have the right raw data? (I have 23andme only at the moment.) Where can I find data on the ancient populations I'm looking for (ex. specific specimens, or data on WHG, EEF, etc.)? I'm not even sure where to get started!
Thanks in advance.
