A predominantly neolithic origin for Y-chromosomal DNA variation in North Africa.
We have typed 275 men from five populations in Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt with a set of 119 binary markers and 15 microsatellites from the Y chromosome, and we have analyzed the results together… Expand

Human genetic affinities for Y-chromosome P49a,f/TaqI haplotypes show strong correspondence with linguistics.
Numerous population samples from around the world have been tested for Y chromosome-specific p49a,f/TaqI restriction polymorphisms. Here we review the literature as well as unpublished data on… Expand

Worldwide distribution of NAT2 diversity: Implications for NAT2 evolutionary history
BackgroundThe N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene plays a crucial role in the metabolism of many drugs and xenobiotics. As it represents a likely target of population-specific selection pressures, we… Expand

Genetic structure of Mediterranean populations revealed by Y-chromosome haplotype analysis.
The allelic variability at six Y-chromosome-specific polymorphisms (YAP, DYS19, DYS389-I, DYS390, DYS391, and DYS392) was used to generate male-specific haplotypes in 333 males representing 12… Expand

Human genetic differentiation across the Strait of Gibraltar
BackgroundThe Strait of Gibraltar is a crucial area in the settlement history of modern humans because it represents a possible connection between Africa and Europe. So far, genetic data were… Expand
