the genetic landscape of Serbian populations through mitochondrial DNA sequencing and non-recombining region of the Y chromosome microsatellites.
TLDR
On the whole, the genetic variability of the Balkan populations seems to be due to an admixture process of European and Asian lineages in different proportions whose contributions constitute the current maternal and paternal genetic landscape.
Y chromosome genetic data defined by 23 short tandem repeats in a Serbian population on the Balkan Peninsula
TLDR
This study is the first one to define STR polymorphism of Serbian people not only from Serbia but also from other parts of the Balkan Peninsula and may be useful in further examinations of the genesis and genetic structuring of the present-day Serbian gene pool.
NETWORK ANALYSIS ON THE IN SILICO ASSIGNED Y CHROMOSOME HAPLOGROUPS IN WESTERN BALKAN POPULATIONS
TLDR
It was observed that an elevated number of study populations and individual haplogroups increases the possibility that individuals of different ethnic background cluster within the same or neighboring clades of network, implying that geographically close populations cluster together at both Balkan and European levels.
A glance of genetic relations in the Balkan populations utilizing network analysis based on in silico assigned Y-DNA haplogroups
TLDR
This study demonstrates that a combination of haplogroup prediction and network analysis represents an effective approach to utilize publicly available Y-STR datasets for population genetics.
The coast of giants: an anthropometric survey of high schoolers on the Adriatic coast of Croatia
TLDR
The results show that young men from Dalmatia are currently the tallest in the world in the age category of 18 years, and the north-to-south gradient of increasing stature on the Adriatic coast largely mirrors that in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).
The mountains of giants: an anthropometric survey of male youths in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The aim of this anthropometric survey, conducted between 2015 and 2016 in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), was to map local geographical differences in male stature and some other anthropometric…
Recombination hotspots in an extended human pseudoautosomal domain predicted from double-strand break maps and characterized by sperm-based crossover analysis
TLDR
Examining thousands of gametes from each of two ePAR-carrying men, it is concluded ePAR very likely contributes to the critical crossover function of PAR1.

Y chromosomal heritage of Croatian population and its island isolates
TLDR
High frequency of haplogroup I in Croatian populations and the phylogeographic pattern in its background STR diversity over Europe make Adriatic coast one likely source of the recolonization of Europe following the Last Glacial Maximum.
The Neolithic transition in Europe: archaeological models and genetic evidence
TLDR
A range of possible models for the spread of the Neolithic into Europe are considered in the light of the detailed information now emerging from genetic studies.
Maternal Genetic Heritage of Southeastern Europe Reveals a New Croatian Isolate and a Novel, Local Sub‐Branching in the X2 Haplogroup
TLDR
The results of 1035 samples show that the SEE maternal genetic diversity fits within a broader European maternal genetic landscape and shows that the population of Žumberak, located in the continental part of Croatia, developed some unique mtDNA haplotypes and elevated haplogroup frequencies due to distinctive demographic history and can be considered a moderate genetic isolate.
The genetic legacy of Paleolithic Homo sapiens sapiens in extant Europeans: a Y chromosome perspective.
TLDR
A significant correlation between the NRY haplotype data and principal components based on 95 protein markers was observed, indicating the effectiveness of NRY binary polymorphisms in the characterization of human population composition and history.
High-resolution phylogenetic analysis of southeastern Europe traces major episodes of paternal gene flow among Slavic populations.
TLDR
The extent and nature of southeastern Europe (SEE) paternal genetic contribution to the European genetic landscape were explored based on a high-resolution Y chromosome analysis involving 681 males from seven populations in the region, finding that five major haplogroups comprise more than 70% of SEE total genetic variation.

Standing at the Gateway to Europe - The Genetic Structure of Western Balkan Populations Based on Autosomal and Haploid Markers
TLDR
The genetic variation of Western Balkan populations reveals the continuity between the Middle East and Europe via the Balkan region and supports the scenario that one of the major routes of ancient gene flows and admixture went through the Balkans.
High levels of Paleolithic Y-chromosome lineages characterize Serbia.
TLDR
An examination of the distribution of Y-chromosome filiations in Europe indicates extreme levels of Paleolithic lineages in a region encompassing Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, possibly the result of Neolithic migrations encroaching on Paleolithic populations against the Adriatic Sea.
Croatian genetic heritage: Y-chromosome story
TLDR
The aim of this article is to offer a concise interpretation of the scientific data about the topic of Croatian genetic heritage that was obtained over the past 10 years, based mostly on Y-chromosome results, to help understand the structure of Croatian population in more detail.
Uniparental Genetic Heritage of Belarusians: Encounter of Rare Middle Eastern Matrilineages with a Central European Mitochondrial DNA Pool
TLDR
The phylogeographic analyses reveal that two mitochondrial DNA lineages, N3 and N1a3, might mark distinct events of matrilineal gene flow to Europe: during the mid-Holocene period and around the Pleistocene- Holocene transition, respectively.
