Genetics and the population history of Europe.

چکیده
Analysis of genetic variation among modern individuals is providing insight into prehistoric events. Comparisons of levels and patterns of genetic diversity with the predictions of models based on archeological evidence suggest that the spread of early farmers from the Levant was probably the main episode in the European population history, but that both older and more recent processes have left recognizable traces in the current gene pool.

Molecular Genetics Diagnosis of Wilson Disease: the First Reported Case of ATP7BGene Mutation at Codon 778 in Southwest Iran
Wilson disease is a metabolic disorder with an autosomal recessive genetic pattern and occurs in 1-4 of every 100000 individuals. Inactivation of the ATP7B gene leads to accumulation of the toxic copper to liver and brain causing hepatic and neurological complication. Therefore, most patients suffer from chronic hepatic inflammation and central nervous system disorder. Nowadays, up to ...

متن کاملThe Role of the Crusade Wars in Transition of Islamic-Persian Medicine to Europe
One of the most important and influential events in the interaction between Islamic civilization and the West was the Crusades, which lasted for nearly two centuries and extended from Europe to the Levant and Egypt. The main reasons for these wars, apparently, were the religious zeal of the Christians to seize Jerusalem from the Muslims and, in fact, the territorial expansion and influx of the ...
متن کاملAncient admixture in human history.
Population mixture is an important process in biology. We present a suite of methods for learning about population mixtures, implemented in a software package called ADMIXTOOLS, that support formal tests for whether mixture occurred and make it possible to infer proportions and dates of mixture. We also describe the development of a new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array consisting of 6...
متن کاملDemographic history has influenced nucleotide diversity in European Pinus sylvestris populations.
To infer the role of natural selection in shaping standing genetic diversity, it is necessary to assess the genomewide impact of demographic history on nucleotide diversity. In this study we analyzed sequence diversity of 16 nuclear loci in eight Pinus sylvestris populations. Populations were divided into four geographical groups on the basis of their current location and the geographical histo...
