Binary polymorphisms associated with the non-recombining region of the human Y
chromosome (NRY) preserve the paternal genetic legacy of our species that has persisted to the …

A genetic perspective of human history in Europe was derived from 22 binary markers of the
nonrecombining Y chromosome (NRY). Ten lineages account for >95% of the 1007 …

… A NJ tree was obtained from P distances by using the program MEGA 1.01 (KUMAR et at. …
To obtain P distances, we recoded the O/ 1 haplotype matrix by replacing the 0’s with A’s, …

Mitochondrial HVS-I sequences from 10,365 subjects belonging to 56 populations/geographical
regions of western Eurasia and northern Africa were first surveyed for the presence of …

… Francalacci et al. (p. 565) investigated the sequence divergence of 1204 Y chromosomes
that were sampled within the isolated and genetically informative Sardinian population. The …

Despite centuries of research, much about the barbarian migrations that took place between
the fourth and sixth centuries in Europe remains hotly debated. To better understand this …

The search for a method that utilizes biological information to predict humans’ place of origin
has occupied scientists for millennia. Over the past four decades, scientists have employed …

An informative set of biallelic polymorphisms was used to study the structure of Y‐chromosome
variability in a sample from the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sicily, and …

There are extensive data indicating that some glacial refuge zones of southern Europe (Franco-Cantabria,
Balkans, and Ukraine) were major genetic sources for the human …

Background The human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is co-evolved with its host and
therefore, origins and expansion of multiple populations and sub populations of H. pylori …
