The Eurasian heartland: a continental perspective on Y-chromosome diversity.
The nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome has proven to be a valuable tool for the study of population history. The maintenance of extended haplotypes characteristic of particular geographic regions, despite extensive admixture, allows complex demographic events to be deconstructed. In this study we report the frequencies of 23 Y-chromosome biallelic polymorphism haplotypes in 1,935 ...
متن کاملY chromosome haplotypes and prostate cancer in Sweden.
PURPOSE Certain Y-chromosomal lineages have been suggested to predispose individuals to prostate cancer in the Japanese population; in other ethnic groups, however, the importance of the Y chromosome is poorly understood. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To assess the possible Y-chromosomal contribution to prostate cancer risk and prognosis, we analyzed five binary Y-chromosomal markers in 1,447 prostate ...
متن کاملPopulation structure in the Mediterranean basin: a Y chromosome perspective.
The Mediterranean region has been characterised by a number of pre-historical and historical demographic events whose legacy on the current genetic landscape is still a matter of debate. In order to investigate the degree of population structure across the Mediterranean, we have investigated Y chromosome variation in a large dataset of Mediterranean populations, 11 of which are first described ...
متن کاملGenome, diversity, and origins: the Y chromosome as a storyteller.
A of human genome variation may focus on one of two possible goals: understanding the genome region under study or solving historical and evolutionary questions specific to the population(s) analyzed. Understanding of variation of a given genome region has a genetic interest because it is a consequence of the dynamics of the genome and thus the evolutionary forces (mutation, selection in its va...
متن کاملFrom Arabia to Iberia: A Y chromosome perspective.
At different times during recent human evolution, northern Africa has served as a conduit for migrations from the Arabian Peninsula. Although previous researchers have investigated the possibility of the Strait of Gibraltar as a pathway of migration from North Africa to Iberia, we now revisit this issue and theorize that although the Strait of Gibraltar, at the west end of this corridor, has ac...
