Editing North East England (section)

===Population genetics===
North East England, together with Tweeddale, was the ancient British tribal kingdom of [[Bernicia]] (Bryneich) and is notable for providing the stable ancestry of its present indigenous population, which has been identified by DNA analysis to be an offshoot of the group  "Scotland, Cumbria and the North of Ireland", but not so closely related to the other peoples of the UK.<ref>{{cite journal|title = The fine-scale genetic structure of the British population|journal = Nature|date = 19 March 2015|volume = 519|issue = 7543|pages = 309–314|doi = 10.1038/nature14230|pmid = 25788095|pmc = 4632200|bibcode = 2015Natur.519..309.|last1 = Leslie|first1 = Stephen|last2 = Winney|first2 = Bruce|last3 = Hellenthal|first3 = Garrett|last4 = Davison|first4 = Dan|last5 = Boumertit|first5 = Abdelhamid|last6 = Day|first6 = Tammy|last7 = Hutnik|first7 = Katarzyna|last8 = Royrvik|first8 = Ellen&nbsp;C.|last9 = Cunliffe|first9 = Barry|last10 = Lawson|first10 = Daniel&nbsp;J.|last11 = Falush|first11 = Daniel|last12 = Freeman|first12 = Colin|last13 = Pirinen|first13 = Matti|last14 = Myers|first14 = Simon|last15 = Robinson|first15 = Mark|last16 = Donnelly|first16 = Peter|last17 = Bodmer|first17 = Walter|last18 = Donnelly|first18 = P.|last19 = Bodmer|first19 = W.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peopleofthebritishisles.org/nl6.pdf |title=Newsletter Issue 6 - March 2015 |access-date=1 January 2017 |publisher=People of the British Isles |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402111723/http://www.peopleofthebritishisles.org/nl6.pdf |archive-date=2 April 2015 }}</ref>
In a 2022 study by Joscha Gretzinger et al., the population of North East England was found to be among the groups with the highest amount of Iron Age/Roman period [[Insular Celts|British Isles-related]] ancestry, being on par with [[Cornish people|Cornish]] people in that regard.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gretzinger |first1=J. |last2=Sayer |first2=D. |last3=Justeau |first3=P. |display-authors=etal|title=The Anglo-Saxon migration and the formation of the early English gene pool |journal=Nature |year=2022 |volume=610 |issue=7930 |pages=112–119 |doi=10.1038/s41586-022-05247-2 |pmid=36131019 |pmc=9534755 |bibcode=2022Natur.610..112G }}</ref>
