Abstract in brief
The study analyzed ancient genomes from East England and found that about 38% of the modern East English population's ancestry comes from Anglo-Saxon migrations, which began after 400 CE.
Using a new method called rarecoal, researchers determined that Anglo-Saxon individuals are genetically similar to modern Dutch and Danish populations, suggesting their origins.
The Iron Age samples showed shared ancestry with various Northern European groups, including early Britons, indicating a diverse genetic background before the Anglo-Saxon migration.]

If you want to cite actual science, "migration watch" is not the most respected of sources, for a reason.
@Heathstepper @MERC_Hub @HistArchChester @howardmrw The debate between archaeologists and geneticists has largely (and correctly) moved on to ancient DNA since then, this latest article notwithstanding, and there's examples now of how to work well together, even on touchy early medieval subjects, eg: https://t.co/6M1t3437rm

Interesting article
Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon genomes from East England reveal British migration history. Modern-day East English population derives on average 38% of its ancestry from Anglo-Saxon migrants.
Using rarecoal we find that the Anglo-Saxon samples are closely related to

https://t.co/bqgxGcvyOD https://t.co/OSf1XoBWYY https://t.co/O5ee9kUZEd basic reading, wont spam links no one will read, we'll focus on "the anglo-saxon migration and the formation of the early english gene pool" as basis for commentary its the most cited study i've seen on here.
@Earleelyfchek @Steve_Laws_ These are actual studies, not random cherry picked articles

@PoTheDude @decentrxlized @Sargon_of_Akkad The science is pretty clear. Modern English are 38% Anglo-Saxon, whilst Modern Welsh and Scots are 30% Anglo-Saxon. Most of the remainder will be Celtic or earlier aboriginal inhabitants.

Though not really sure why Germanic status is important to you? In the end all groups of the UK started off migrants.
