چکیده
It is now nearly three years since our last newsletter. During that time we have continued to collect more samples from volunteers and enlarged our collection of photos for the face genetics project to nearly 2000. Most importantly, a subset of 2039 of our samples has been extensively analysed, and, after several revisions and adjustments, the results have appeared on 19 March as a major paper in the journal Nature. This is therefore a good opportunity to review the history of the PoBI project, take stock of what we have achieved so far and describe the key results of our Nature paper (http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/nature14230).

For example, Wilson et al. used the similarity of Basque and Celtic Y chrom...

متن کاملOf mice and (Viking?) men: phylogeography of British and Irish house mice.
The west European subspecies of house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) has gained much of its current widespread distribution through commensalism with humans. This means that the phylogeography of M. m. domesticus should reflect patterns of human movements. We studied restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and DNA sequence variations in mouse mitochondrial (mt) DNA throughout the Briti...
