Mezen-1 Russian + SRR2017616 Komi Izhma 23andme format files

Explore the genetic landscape of the Russian Arctic as we delve into a deep-dive comparison between two indigenous individuals: a Russian Pomor from Mezen and an ethnic Komi from Izhma. Using professional-grade tools like admixtools (qpAdm) and Fst analysis, alongside amateur utilities like the andreimix mapper and Trait Predictor, we break down their Neolithic and Bronze Age ancestries. Discover how the presence of Neo-Siberian substrate and the Oxus (BMAC) component distinguishes these Uralic-adjacent populations and shapes their unique evolutionary history.

Beyond deep ancestry, this video provides a side-by-side comparison of their phenotypic and medical trait predictions. We examine everything from physical characteristics like eye color and nose shape to complex neurological profiles, including dopamine metabolism (Warrior vs. Worrier) and predispositions for conditions like schizophrenia, restless leg syndrome, and autoimmune health. We also look at fascinating specificities such as EDAR genes, caffeine metabolism, and even the ability to detect specific scents, painting a comprehensive picture of the genetic diversity found in the Arkhangelsk and Izhma regions.
