Genome-wide data from medieval German Jews show that the Ashkenazi founder event pre-dated the 14 <sup>th</sup> century

2022-05-16

Abstract excerpt

We report genome-wide data for 33 Ashkenazi Jews (AJ), dated to the 14 th century, following a salvage excavation at the medieval Jewish cemetery of Erfurt, Germany. The Erfurt individuals are genetically similar to modern AJ and have substantial Southern European ancestry, but they show more variability in Eastern European-related ancestry than modern AJ. A third of the Erfurt individuals carried the same nearly...
