How bottlenecked are Horn populations?

If we got admixed, say 4000 or 5000 years ago, and continue to reproduce from the same genetic pool, can we say we are bottlenecked as a population in a grand scheme of things? It astonishes me that our phenotype and genetic markers remained somehow stable after all these years.

Oromo and Amhara plink files and fst distance

Remember the study on highland adaptation of Oromos and Amharas which studied populations of Bale and Semien mountains. The G25 was recently released. The research has the raw dna data of the research subjects in plink format linked here. I managed to merge these samples with my dataset and calcute fst distance as attached.

You can find the article and the raw data here: The genetic architecture of adaptations to high altitude in Ethiopia

ROH endogamy detector improved

Explore your dna’s ROH endogamy detector is improved and is free. It tells you if your parents are related and if so how long ago: https://www.exploreyourdna.com/Tools/RohDetector

Mine shows an outbred profile, but the segments picked (total 9.2 mb across 5 segments) suggested possible parental kinship 22 generations ago or a potential population bottleneck. If those segments are reliable, it means my parents’ line belonged to the same closely related population as far back as 22 generations ago. But it could a noise too. Check out yours.

Finally

Hi folks,

After several attempts, I finally managed to run my first qpAdm using the recently released AADR v66. Two standouts from my trial are. 1) Natufian and other Levantine PPNB do not work for me although they worked on illutarative dna before. Instead I consistently get Israel_C; 2) Dinka and Mota on their own do not work. I need to have both. Meaning there is deep East African and Nilotic contribution. Without both the models fail.

Genoplot automated qpAdm

Genoplot has this new automated qpAdm calculations. Unlike Illustrative DNA, you just upload your raw data, and the system generates plausible models. It is in beta stage but gives you an idea of what to expect. Here is mine.

Coming to this, I thought kit dispatch would be a breeze like 23&me (they use FedEx). I probably ticked the basic delivery assuming that DHL delivery is fast anyway. Came to discover that my kit has been sitting at Melrose park DHL e-commerce centre for about a week now. So adjust your expectation accordingly if you use the basic DHL delivery service.

I am down to two units before graduating with diploma in accounting. My goal is to eventually register as a tax agent after fulfilling TPB registration requirements. I have another flexible full time job. Where should I look for to get the necessary experience that can count towards the registration requirements without being employed full-time? Thanks in advance.

I do not know if the owners of Illustrative DNA come around to check users' comments about their products. I subscribed again solely because of the new v66 update to AdMix Lab. Almost all samples that previously existed under v62 within the Human Origins (HO) dataset show 0 snps, meaning no data. Why would you mislead users when your product is not ready for launch? Fix it or give us a refund.

This map is from 1912 on Spoken Languages in Eritrea Colony and Adjacent Regions By M. Checchi, G Giardia Mori Published by the Italian Directorate of Colonial Affairs, Roma, 1912.

I wonder what percentage of Rayya and Asebo Oromos still speak Afaan Oromo.
