we made a tool! ybyra is a lightweight, flexible Y-chromosome haplogroup caller. It is faster, easier to tune and more robust than other tools particularly for low-coverage or ancient DNA data. And it has lots of detailed output – including plots! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Please welcome the HAAM steering committee for the period 2025-2026 🎊. We are looking forward to the following year!

So happy to see this work on the genetic history of the Central Southern Cone 🌎🧬 Huge congrats to Javier Maravall and everyone involved!
