Polish aDNA PCA


Below is a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) that I put together for an upcoming presentation on Polish ancient DNA (aDNA). The five RISE samples are from Allentoft et al. 2015, including RISE569, the early Slavic genome from the Czech Republic, which was initially wrongly labeled as that of a Czech Bell Beaker (see here). PL_N17 is an Early Bronze Age (EBA) sample from Gustorzyn, Northern Poland (see here).


I also organized f3 outgroup statistics of the form f3(European_pop,Test,Yoruba) for each of these samples to compare their genetic affinities to present-day European populations. Although f3 outgroup statistics aren't as sensitive as haplotype tests, I think these results look interesting and useful, with both PL_N17 and RISE569 seemingly showing strong links to modern-day West Slavs. The full output is available in a zip file here.

Why do we have so little crucial ancient DNA from Poland? Where does that strange reluctance to research Polish territory further come from?

Lukasz said...

Davidski, if I read it well? RISE569 is near modern German sample (blue triangle). It means this particular German is Slavic shifted, or RISE569 is "Slavo-German", or both is true?

Davidski said...

Those Germans on the eastern edge of the German cluster have Slavic ancestry. But RISE569 is probably also mixed.

Samuel Andrews said...

Btw, the mtDNA H28, H1b1, and H1b2 find in Globular Amphora directly link them to modern Eastern Europeans. It's definitely a EEF/WHG ancestor.

Nie mam jeszcze dostepu do probek z Olalde et al. 2017.

John Thomas said...

David, what exactly is the genetic relation between these ancient Polish samples and the modern Irish?
Are Irish origins ultimately in central Europe?

Davidski said...

Eastern and Central Europe.

And the relationship between these Polish samples and modern Irish is very close.

Eurogenes K13 PCA with 30 Czechs and Moravians + some Slovaks, Slovak Hungarians and RISE569 + 577.

Thanks for this great calculator.

Probably they were German

Guys, we have Spaniard here With Slavic admix...

nMonte restricted
Spain_La-Rioja 64.50
Lithuanian 35.45
Bosnian 0.05
PL_Sudovia 0.00


This sample will plot like Polish/Icelandic shifted towards Hungary_BA.

Hello,

I am Polish and I just have got results from 23andme and various from GedMatch. I was looking for a contact to you but can't find any information on the blog.

Which tool is the best to receive the most detailed ethnicity results, especially ones with countries? 23andme generally showed my background us Eastern European (52%), Balkan, Scandinavian.

Thank you,

Jeżeli Pan prof. Przemysław Urbańczyk twierdz że stosy pogrzebowe płonęły na terenie Polski jeszcze w trzynastym wieku, to mamy problem. Znalezienie szkieletu z "słowiańską haplogrupą" będzie graniczyć z cudem.

Z ciekawości spojrzałem w jaki sposób chowali swych bliskich Celtowie.
Okazuje się że większość plemion Celtyckich preferowała stosy pogrzebowe.
Tu też powinien wystąpić kłopot z DNA.

Davidski, I guess Charlemagne had some point when he moved the Saxons out of East Central Germany and moved Slavs in.
