Y-Chromosome Diversity in Modern Bulgarians: New Clues about Their Ancestry
To better define the structure and origin of the Bulgarian paternal gene pool, we have examined the Y-chromosome variation in 808 Bulgarian males. The analysis was performed by high-resolution genotyping of biallelic markers and by analyzing the STR variation within the most informative haplogroups. We found that the Y-chromosome gene pool in modern Bulgarians is primarily represented by Wester...
متن کاملHuman Evolution: Y-chromosome clues to human ancestry
The case for a recent expansion of modern humans from Africa has been strengthened by the finding of monomorphism in part of a Y-linked gene, consistent with the low variability seen in human mitochondrial DNAs.
متن کاملAncient Migratory Events in the Middle East: New Clues from the Y-Chromosome Variation of Modern Iranians
Knowledge of high resolution Y-chromosome haplogroup diversification within Iran provides important geographic context regarding the spread and compartmentalization of male lineages in the Middle East and southwestern Asia. At present, the Iranian population is characterized by an extraordinary mix of different ethnic groups speaking a variety of Indo-Iranian, Semitic and Turkic languages. Desp...
متن کاملExploring the Y Chromosomal Ancestry of Modern Panamanians
Geologically, Panama belongs to the Central American land-bridge between North and South America crossed by Homo sapiens >14 ka ago. Archaeologically, it belongs to a wider Isthmo-Colombian Area. Today, seven indigenous ethnic groups account for 12.3% of Panama's population. Five speak Chibchan languages and are characterized by low genetic diversity and a high level of differentiation. In addi...
متن کاملInferring human history: clues from Y-chromosome haplotypes.
molecules are organic elements of information storage imbued with imperfect copying processes. Thus, they are fundamental repositories of an organism's evolutionary history. The field of human molecular evolution is predicated on the concept that patterns of DNA sequence variation in living populations encode aspects of human heritage shaped by a constellation of evolutionary influences. The fr...
