Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction polymorphism was examined in Turkmens, Eastern Iranians, and Ukrainians. The gene pools of all populations studied were characterized by the presence of European mtDNA lineages. Mongoloid component observed in Turkmen and Iranian populations with the frequencies of about 20% was represented by groups C, D, and E/G in Turkmens, and by M*, D, A, and B in Iranians. The relative positions of the populations studied, of populations from the Caucasus, Western…

Polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA in old believers from Siberia

The polymorphism of mtDNA was examined in populations of Old Believers and Russians from Novosibirsk oblast to confirm the earlier hypothesized influence of the Finno-Ugric component on the East Slavic populations.

Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Variation in the Boyko, Hutsul, and Lemko Populations of the Carpathian Highlands

An analysis of mtDNA haplogroup composition of the Boykos, Hutsuls, and Lemkos, three population groups of the Carpathian highlands, finds unique mtDNA frequencies to be evidence of diverse and dynamic population histories in the Carpakian highland region.

Mitochondrial DNA sequence diversity in three ethnic populations from the South-west Iran: a preliminary study

Genetic analysis of mtDNA data showed high similarity of Chahar Lang Bakhtiyaries with other Iranian Indo-European-speaking populations while Shushtaries and Bani Torofs had a closer affinity with Semitic-speaking groups rather than to other Iranian populations.

Investigation of the Mitochondrial Haplogroups M, BM, N, J, K and Their Frequencies in Five Regions in Iran

The data suggest that Iranian tribes probably played a remarkable role in the formation of these ethnic groups and that the haplogroup J may be older than 6000-10000 years, and probably developed in Iran, and then expanded to different regions in Europe and Northwest Asia.

Polymorphism of the c-fms, ITGB3, CCR2, and DBH genes in the populations of old believers of the Tyumen oblast and Russian residents of Novosibirsk

The frequencies of the rare alleles of CCR2, ITGB3, and 3'UTR of c-fms in the Old Believers are lower than in the sample of Novosibirsk Russians, and the rare allele of DBH is more frequent, apparently related to the long-term isolation of Old Believer.

Demography of Race and Ethnicity in Iran

In the present situation of the Middle East, aggrandizement of ethnicity and ethnographic issues and conflicts is a kind of ignorance of the process of history. This only happened in developing…

Analysis of the frequency distribution of the mtDNA type groups indicated the absence of genetic differences between the Russian populations studied.

The emerging tree of West Eurasian mtDNAs: a synthesis of control-region sequences and RFLPs.

It is shown that the main indigenous North African cluster is a sister group to the most ancient cluster of European mtDNAs, from which it diverged approximately 50,000 years ago.

THE PLACE OF THE INDIAN MITOCHONDRIAL DNA VARIANTS IN THE GLOBAL NETWORK OF MATERNAL LINEAGES AND THE PEOPLING OF THE OLD WORLD

Coalescence estimates, calculated locally for these three major clusters in India, indicate a major radiation of mtDNA lin­ eages starting approximately 50,000 years ago, which clearly supports the African origin of modem humans.

Tracing European founder lineages in the Near Eastern mtDNA pool.

Y-chromosomal diversity in Europe is clinal and influenced primarily by geography, rather than by language.

These patterns retain a strong signal of expansion from the Near East but also suggest that the demographic history of Europe has been complex and influenced by other major population movements, as well as by linguistic and geographic heterogeneities and the effects of drift.

Phylogeography of mitochondrial DNA in western Europe

A cladistic notation for mitochondrial variation is described and analysis is expanded upon to present a more detailed portrait of the European mitochondrial record, suggesting that most extant mitochondrial sequences in western Europe have a local ancestry in the Early Upper Palaeolithic.

Y-chromosome lineages trace diffusion of people and languages in southwestern Asia.

Genetic evidence is presented for the occurrence of two major population movements, supporting a model of demic diffusion of early farmers from southwestern Iran-and of pastoral nomads from western and central Asia-into India, associated with Dravidian and Indo-European-language dispersals, respectively.

Patterns of male‐specific inter‐population divergence in Europe, West Asia and North Africa

Higher Fst‐on‐distance slopes within Europe than in West Asia or across the two continents is found, and pairwise Fst showed an overall increment with increasing geographic distance but with a slope greatly reduced when compared to previous reports.

Demic expansions and human evolution

Geographic expansions are caused by successful innovations, biological or cultural, that favor local growth and movement. They have had a powerful effect in determining the present patterns of human…

Genetic and fossil evidence for the origin of modern humans.

Genetic data on present human population relationships and data from the Pleistocene fossil hominid record are used to compare two contrasting models for the origin of modern humans.
