Christians claim the Jewish Yahweh as their God, and appeal t...
متن کاملPhylogenetic applications of whole Y-chromosome sequences and the Near Eastern origin of Ashkenazi Levites
Previous Y-chromosome studies have demonstrated that Ashkenazi Levites, members of a paternally inherited Jewish priestly caste, display a distinctive founder event within R1a, the most prevalent Y-chromosome haplogroup in Eastern Europe. Here we report the analysis of 16 whole R1 sequences and show that a set of 19 unique nucleotide substitutions defines the Ashkenazi R1a lineage. While our su...
متن کاملMultiple origins of Ashkenazi Levites: Y chromosome evidence for both Near Eastern and European ancestries.
Previous Y chromosome studies have shown that the Cohanim, a paternally inherited Jewish priestly caste, predominantly share a recent common ancestry irrespective of the geographically defined post-Diaspora community to which they belong, a finding consistent with common Jewish origins in the Near East. In contrast, the Levites, another paternally inherited Jewish caste, display evidence for mu...
متن کاملIncreased resolution of Y chromosome haplogroup T defines relationships among populations of the Near East, Europe, and Africa.
Increasing phylogenetic resolution of the Y chromosome haplogroup tree has led to finer temporal and spatial resolution for studies of human migration. Haplogroup T, initially known as K2 and defined by mutation M70, is found at variable frequencies across West Asia, Africa, and Europe. While several SNPs were recently discovered that extended the length of the branch leading to haplogroup T, o...
