Fennoscandia Biographic Project(Scandinavian genetics)

It'd be interesting to see them do more IBD runs. Personally admixture is my favourite because you get the numbers to deal with, PCA's always seem a bit vague to me, even though they are better at picking up certain admixtures apparently.

Unfortunately the Chromopainter and Finestructure pipeline dont give you the percentages, but Chromopainter do have chromosone painting functionality where it is possible to design an ancestry painting by segments of the chromosome that will give percentages or more exactly probabilities both on segments and in total. I have done several experimental trials with the X-chromosome.

So what is the current Focus of the Fennoscandia project? I saw that he had identified a number of clusters, in the most recent entry, but i didn't read the whole of the blog. Am reading through it now though.

The genetic clustering and origin of the Fennoscandian populations.

It could be phasing error. I have increased the phasing accuracy in this run and for some individuals their affiliation have changed for example for FI2 who now (but not before) appears to have a Saami affiliation as some Finns with more recent Saami ancestry.

I will look at the various samples in reverse later today when i have time...if they match lots of Europeans its clearly a mixed sample or something is off?

Romania3 and Romania7 samples clusters with the Pakistan-India samples. I suspect they are Rom-people.

My grandmother has Norwegian Romani ancestry, and she has many Roma cousins via 23andme and several Romani cousins FTDNA, we all have Indian cousins also, see my blog entry for more details:

I cant see anything in the Chromopainter/Finestructure based analysis data.

You might see small traces of it in my uncle NO16, but i dont think you will see it in me NO5...I have not sent you my Grandmothers file..

By the way, looking at the new spreadsheet, i see the same signals as before......

Your Scandinavian

Thanks, I wasn't aware

[AndersP]

The result looks a bit faulty...

LAMP 2.5 is not easy to use. You need to guesstimate some parameters.

See it now to the Melanasian. It seems like Saami and some Finns have a similar elevated sharing.

Yeah, it makes sense then, must be something Eurasian, very old, like the common link between Scandinavians and Native Americans ect that often manifest itself in DNA..

Do anyone know if the La Brana 1 and 2 hunter gatherers had any south European (farmer) ancestry?
